We really liked our Slovenian Dinner Experience. It is definitely not a typical going out for dining event. We enjoyed lavish dinner setting, games were super funny and activities were not dry at all :) Place also has great interior design. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and colleagues. Cheers to the best team!

Although I'm not that into cuisine, I really enjoyed the Slovenian dinner experience. Glad my friend insisted. They explained it in a fun way, we were included in the making of sausages which I loved! I learned so much about food tradition and history that I started to appreciated more. And the wine was excellent! If you happen to be in Ljubljana, instead of going to a dinner in a restaurant, go to the dinner experience.

At first we were a bit sceptical if we would get enough to eat as we know modern cuisine isn't famous for its rich dishes. We were happy when we saw that we would actually EAT! :-) This Slovenian dinner experience is both delicious and interesting. And really soooooo much food, at the end we could hardly walk :-) Chapeau!

There are a lot of good reviews about this “experience” on Trip Advisor. Usually, I can count on the reviews here; but for the first time, they let me down.
I booked this event for six people. I received a confirmation email with a two different addresses. First, I went to the listed address on the Slovenian Experience website. At six in the evening that location had little or no traffic. Through the window, I could see a basic room that looked like a small school cafeteria. No one was there. We went to the second address. This was more of what I expected. It was a cozy kitchen with a dining area. A young women stood in front talking to six people. When I told her why I was there and that we were a group of six, she looked disconcerted. She had no reservation for us and she said we were at a cooking class. Moreover, before I walked in, two other unexpected guests had arrived. She called her manager.
I spoke with her manager who told me that we did not have a reservation. When I said that we had booked with Slovenian Experience on Trip Advisor, she seemed incredulous. I explained that both the cooking class address and the abandoned location address had been on my confirmation email. She then told me that the two things were related, but she had no reservation for us at either. She clearly doubted my reservation. I texted her my confirmation email and my receipt. Ultimately, she admitted a mistake. Whether it was due to a website malfunction or disorganization was never clear. Because the cooking class could not accommodate an additional six people, she asked if we could come back tomorrow, but we could not. An hour later, while my group of six was actually having dinner, she called and said that she could book us somewhere else for dinner that night, but it was too little, too late.
My credit card has been reimbursed. We were disappointed that we never got to have the experience so highly praised on this website. But the experience I had undermines its rave reviews. The venue did not look all that great and while the girl at the cooking class was very nice, everyone else’s knee jerk reaction was to assume we were the ones who had made a mistake. And, I guess we did.

Thank you for your review. We honestly apologize that you were not able to participate in our Slovenian Dinner Experience. Due to a technical problem we have never received your reservation. When you made this reservation you also received an automatic reply i.e. email confirmation. However, reservation was not processed into our booking calendar and that is why our stuff was not able to organize this experience for that day.
We are very glad that our young moderators was able to assist you upon your visit to the second location where they had cooking class organized at the time. We also organize cooking class which was fully booked on that day, Otherwise, it would be our pleasure to host you on our cooking class experience as an alternative interactive choice.
We hope that restaurant recommendations our moderator gave you were useful. We are aware that Slovenian restaurant visit is not the same as the interactive experience that we organize and that is why we hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you in the near future on our experience! We hope that you will have good memories of Slovenian national dishes and that you managed to taste some of the traditional recipes of which we are very proud.

You can go to a restaurant like we usually do or you can go for something different. I wanted to surprise my girlfriend for our anniversary and I organized a Slovenian dinner experience. We had a wonderful time, learned a lot and ate like royalties!

Slovenia was a pleasant surprise in terms of nature, culture and definitely food. We tried Slovenian dinner experience and I must say it was a big surprise for us, because we didn't know what to expect. Food and wine were amazing and we participated in the making of our delights. Thank you!

I liked the part of making our own Slovenian traditional sausage, so we weren't only served, but we also participated in the making of our food. Portions were good and the dessert was sublime. Unique experience! Try it on your own

I would recommend it to all who love traditional food and stories around it. Slovenia has so much to offer when it comes to food. We were really surprised. Loved how they renovate the tradition, with all those tiny details. Loved it.

We found out a lot about Slovenia, their tranditional food and since my better half doesn't eat meat, we asked them to prepare a vegetarian dishes. The wine was also awesome and we had a wonderful time.

Hi! Instead of a classical dinner at the restaurant, we decided to do something different and went for the Slovenian dinner experience. We made our own sausage, the host was very funny and we learned a lot about slovenian cuisine. Dishes were abundant and really delisciuos. I would recommend it.
