Celje | Lalu Restaurant – Bib Gourmand Honoree

🍸This restaurant had been on my colleague's must-try list, and the gleaming Michelin plaque at the entrance certainly heightened expectations. 🍰The Experience: 🍰While the dishes were well-executed, they lacked that wow factor I crave (personally preferring the bold creativity of Bohinj's Sunrose 7 or George Bistro). 🌞True Michelin-worthy cuisine, after all, is where chefs transform tradition into edible art—merging global inspiration, 🌞architectural plating, and nature's palette into flavor symphonies. 🎨 🌞Yet Lalu delivers where it counts: 🍝• Remarkable value (mains under €20; weekday lunch set at €22 for 3 courses) 🍝• Weekly refreshed menu (check their website for current offerings) 🍝• Thoughtful pairings—notice how the tomato slices' brightness plays against purple onion confit, or how rosemary's perfume elevates each bite 🍸Standout: Nearly every dish impressed... except that bacon-wrapped green bean roll. #SlovenianCuisine #Celje #MichelinDining #InnovativeCuisine
