Thai Pub

There are two Thai food places here in Ljubljana and they are both similar in a lot of ways. To be honest as far as I can tell they both pretty much serve the same food the only difference is in the amount of food you get at each place.

Location: Rimska 13

Menu: Like Du Ba Du you get the same kind of menu with specific items available on a daily basis and a number of items available any time. The downside to this menu is that everything is in Slovenian, however that being said the waiter was really nice and translated everything for us.

Whats all included: you start off with a soup (I assume that it changes on a daily basis) and then you get your entree and a dessert.

What did I have: The soup was some kind of broth soup, I was not really sure what it was because I was never told. To be honest it was a little too fishy for my taste but my dinner mate states that they liked it. Then I had ordered the green curry bowl and it was delicious, nice and thick with coconut milk and it had a little kick (Just a little kick but it was the best that I have had hear so far so I can't complain). To drink each of us had a glass or wine, it was a nice Cab blend (and it only cost a euro) and dessert was two apples which seemed that they had seen better days. The server apologized about the apples and said that it was the only thing that they had.

Niceness of the restaurant: The restaurant was really nice, it had nice wooden floors and was not too loud. A nice place to go for a bit to eat and to just chat.

Over All: I would give this place a 3.75 stars out of 5. The food was pretty good but it was pretty standard nothing really stood out. I will most likely be back though if for nothing else for that curry as it was delicious.

Price: 3.51 (give or take)

Over all a good restaurant, and I certainly would recommend it if you are looking for a nice place to eat with a few friends other wise go to Du Ba Du.

Pizzeria Foculus

I heard that this was one of the best Pizzeria's in Ljubljana which is a bit of a big deal as Slovenians love their pizza.

Location: This is on Gregorciceva 3, which is on the side of Slovenska beside the river. You can't miss the pizzeria as it has a huge sign on the side of a building.

Menu: They have a huge menu with lots of different pizzas, also all the menus has "subtitles" in english (always a bonus). Plus you will find the servers very friendly and willing to answer your questions.

What do you get: You get a pretty good size pizza for the coupon price and you can get a drink for 1 euro (however we opted for a beer instead)

Fullness factor: It may be possible to finish the pizza and want more however if you have a average appetite (like myself) you will probably not desire any more.

Goodness Value: If you pizza then this is a great place to go. They have a perfectly done crust and good toppings, not too many but just right.

What did I have: I had the Lucifer pizza (which amounts to hot peppers and hot pepperoni). I would for sure have it again.

Overall: I would give this place a 4.5 stars out of 5, a for sure return to place.

Price: I can't remember exactly but I would guess about 3.41

All in all this is a great spot for a pizza I am not convinced that it is the best pizza place in Ljubljana but it is certainly up there.
