Ljubljana’s Michelin-Starred Gem: Strelec in the Castle

Overall Rating: Who wouldn’t want to dine in a castle with a Michelin star? 🍽️ Culinary HighlightsSkill Level:🍥Technically solid (as expected for one star), but what shines is the heart. 🍥 Small-country Michelin spots like this always move me—no comparison to the overstuffed scenes of NYC or Paris.Standouts: Chicken liver with cherries, beef tartare wrapped in shiso leaves. ✅Post-meal treats: The tea accompaniments are among the best I’ve had—freshly made, not mass-produced chocolates or cookies.✅Weak spot: Mains. The fish surpassed expectations, but the venison was disappointingly gamey. 🍷 Pairing PerfectionNon-alcoholic pairing: A rare gem! Handcrafted (not store-bought), elevating each dish. 🌈Wine pairing: All Slovenian wines—cultural immersion at its finest.🌈Pro tip: Order both pairings to compare! 🎨 Aesthetics & AmbienceDish presentation: Pretty but not jaw-dropping (utensils are basic). Interior: A flawless blend of medieval castle and modern design. View: Private terrace overlooking Ljubljana’s old town—unrivaled, like Paris’s Eiffel Tower-facing Michelin spots. 💁 Service & Practicals Service: Friendly but occasionally inattentive (not quite "always on"). 💗Best for: Newbies and connoisseurs alike. Castle dining is a universal fantasy! #MichelinStar #Ljubljana #FineDining #CastleViews
