THE GOURMET DINNER

Experience the finest flavours of Slovenian cuisine in a special evening designed just for international students. The dinner is inspired by Slovenia’s Restaurant week, a prestigious event where the country’s top fine dining restaurants curate exclusive limited-edition menus twice a year, we are bringing this gourmet experience to you at a student-friendly price.

WHAT IS SLOVENIA’S RESTAURANT WEEK?

Every spring and autumn, the most renowned Slovenian restaurants take part in this event, offering specially crafted menus that showcase their culinary excellence. Known for its refined gastronomy and premium service, Restaurant week is a celebration of flavours and creativity, making high-end dining more accessible – though still at a luxury price point.

At our Gourmet dinner experience, we’re recreating the essence of Restaurant week – a carefully curated three-course menu, featuring elegant dishes, a touch of fine wine and an unforgettable dining atmosphere. And the best part?
