JB Restaurant

JB Restaurant is a Bratovž family-run marvel. It all started off in 1992 when Janez Bratovž, applied his priceless experience abroad to Slovenian cookery. JB is the first Slovenian restaurant to make it onto the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Top chef JB is aided by his right-hand-man in the kitchen, his son Tomaž, daughter Nina, an Advanced Sommelier, and his wife Ema, who is basically the restaurant’s manager.

Although stationed in the centre of Ljubljana, JB presents visitors with a tranquil and elegant escape from the noise of the city outside. The ambience is enjoyed by numerous tourists and avid local fine dining enthusiasts. From business meetings to romantic dinners – JB welcomes and hosts everyone with a taste for luxury food.

JB’s menu is based on the complex yet simple relationship between the four elements: Earth, Water, Air and Fire. In gastronomy that would be sweet, salty, sour and bitter. Ingredients are chosen with care and preserve that natural flavour, which has all too often disappeared in modern-day dishes. The cleverness behind the chef’s masterpieces have earned this family restaurant prestigious awards and have won over the loyalty of many a pleasure hunter.

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays / World Discovery ( travel agent Grega) arranged a one week travel program for us in Slovenia, combining our own wishes of some hiking and nature experiences, some sea-, city- and country-side visits and his own suggestions (Ljubljana food tour, Planina cave spelunking with personal guide, etc.). The process around customising the itinerary and perfecting it went very smooth. He arranged tickets, guides and a rental car, all accessible through a neat app, and the plan turned out to fit very well, including a rental car upgrade to accommodate larger then anticipated suitcases. We had not heard so much about Slovenia beforehand, but it is amazing, as are its people, food, culture and not least its diverse nature, its exceptional gorges and caves.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.

Slovenia Holidays provided a great experience for us. There was a good balance between planned activity and free time. Our guide Ivana was not only knowledgeable but very friendly and helpful as well. We fell in love with Slovenia and look forward to going back. When we do we will use Slovenia Holidays again!
