Slovenska hiša (Cankarjevo nabrežje)

Slovenska hiša on Cankarjevo nabrežje is a riverside Slovenian restaurant at Cankarjevo nabrežje 13 in Ljubljana, on the Ljubljanica embankment near the Triple Bridge. It is one of two branches of Slovenska hiša, the other being on Gosposvetska cesta, and it is open every day of the year including holidays, from 8AM to 1AM. The location is among the most visited in Slovenia's capital, with the embankment lined by cafes and restaurants facing the water and the Old Town. The restaurant is a gostilna in style, serving traditional Slovenian cooking. Signature dishes include Kranjska klobasa, the Carniolan sausage often regarded as the national sausage, Idrijski žlikrofi, small filled dumplings from the town of Idrija, and štruklji, rolled dumplings served in sweet and savoury versions. These dishes make the menu a convenient introduction to regional cuisine for visitors who want to try the classics without searching out several different venues. The atmosphere is lively and relaxed, shaped by the riverside setting, and is particularly pleasant when tables are set outdoors in fine weather. There is no dress code, and the noise level is moderate to high at peak times because of the busy promenade. Prices are in the mid-range bracket, somewhat higher than inland neighbourhood taverns because of the prime location. A selection of Slovenian wines and local beers is available. The long opening hours allow breakfast, lunch, dinner and late drinks, which is useful for travellers arriving or departing at unusual times. Booking is recommended, particularly for riverside seats on summer evenings and weekends, and reservations can be made by phone on +386 8 389 98 11. The restaurant's website, slovenskahisa.si, gives more detail in English. Its position a few steps from Prešeren Square, the Triple Bridge and the central market makes it easy to combine with sightseeing.
