Had some high hopes after reading reviews for this restaurant. I probably ordered the wrong thing, I will get to that. Pros: were able to make a reservation for dinner for 2 on a Sunday night when limited things were open Convenient location in downtown Old Town Had some authentic traditional Slovenian dish options Great deal on house wine, which was also delicious I wanted something more "comfort" foody and thinking that since Slovenia shares a border with Italy the lasagna should be good...pretty sure it was made with single serve cheese. It was okay. Was honestly pretty disappointed, but the portion was a good size and the sauce was a good flavor. My husband got the Slovenian dumplings, which were really good. The bread was great as well. We didn't want dessert. Recommend making a reservation, they were turning some people away who did not have one. And I would recommend getting a traditional Slovenian dish and not the lasagna lol.

Small cozy place. The dishes are quite expensive, as in the rest of the central area, but plentiful and therefore to be considered as single dishes. We ate the octopus, good, and the chicken with the crispy ham; the chicken was good but a little too dry and thick. Good wine.

Chosen somewhat at random at 2:00 p.m. for its terrace with a table available (complicated in August), very friendly welcome from the owner (generally speaking, Slovenians are really friendly). Choice of Slovenian dishes (we'll say fried sausages for us :)), good, well-cooked products, generous dishes but not too much (the trend is for large dishes that we later regret), a bit expensive for Ljubljana (summer season and location touristy) but nothing scandalous either. Glass of surprising Slovenian red wine (very fruity, light). A good time shared :)

Even in early May it can be quite difficult for a single person to find a restaurant table for dinner in Ljubljana. Walking through the old town the 'Marley and Me' was about the only place, which seemed to have free space. Walking inside I was not seated at one of the free tables with Greek style tavern chairs, but on an elevated hard bench by a small table, overlooking the whole interior. Next to me was the door to the bathroom, through which the unfriendly manager used to walk in and out during my stay. In the menu card with a not too big choice were mentioned under 'Taste Slovenia' three national dishes: Idrian Dumplings, Carniolan Sausage and Trout fillet. Since I had already tried the two other dishes elsewhere I went for the fish, which was served with the skin on it on one side. It was fine, but too oily. It came with boiled potatoes and Swiss chard. The salad I also ordered had no dressing and despite that no additional vinegar, oil or salt and pepper were brought, so I had to ask for it. The white house wine was of poor quality and was served lukewarm. During dinner the tables in front of me got rearranged for a quite large group of rather noisy Italians. In the 'Marley and Me', most probably named after the Hollywood movie of 2008 starring Jennifer Aniston, there was also pretty loud pop music as background. All in all it was the dinner I enjoyed the least during my stay in Ljubljana.

Maximum 3 stars and only for service. The food was ready in 5 minutes... Fish: the side dish is HEATED, that is, not even completely warmed up, cold on one side, warmed on the other. Knows how to use a microwave oven. Pasta - how can you cook pasta in 3 minutes? It’s very simple: you just need to throw ALREADY COOKED pasta into hot water and heat it up. I don't recommend eating here. But it's nice to have a drink. Service is good. Dogs are allowed 🐶🐶

We were initially struggling to get a table due to wet weather and lots of fellow tourists around. We tried our luck and the owner coincidentally had one two person table left. The interior is cozy, ambient with a traditional feel. The tables are wooden but comfortable there is a nice bar/service area for drinks etc just inside the door. The menu has a local fee, we went with dumplings and Slovenian sausage for our mains with a carafe of local house red wine. We both really enjoyed the food and the wine. The portions were generous and we were both satisfied even without starters. We shared a local dessert consisting of dumpling with walnut and honey-filling which was simply delicious. The staff were excellent - incredibly helpful, attentive and took time to give is excellent suggestions in terms of the menu and for our stay in Llubjana generally. We had a really enjoyable experience and couldn’t speak higher of Marley and Me and it’s excellent staff. Highly recommended for anyone visiting this great city!

I wanted to go out for a romantic dinner with my partner. Made reservations for a specific table by the window that is more private and cosy. When we got there, our table was taken and the reservation was completely ignored. We brushed it off and sat down to order the food. When we got the menus we were surprised as there were very few options to choose from, and only one vegetarian option. We ordered the vegetarian macaroni with broccoli, dried tomatoes and the tortellini with prawn tails. Both dishes were very much below average in taste and presentation, and with the relatively high prices this is, in my opinion, unacceptable and shameful. I cannot in good faith recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a gourmet experience, which is a shame, because the restaurant has a cute vibe and could be one of those places where you have to reserve a table 1 month in advance. If only the food was of higher quality. TL;DR: Reservation was ignored, few options of food (only 1 vegi option), food tastes bad, very expensive for the quality of food

Nice outside dining. Relaxed atmosphere. Quick to receive drinks. Food took longer but was worth the wait. I had the lamb shank after a long day of travel and it was a generous serving with mashed potato, broccoli and carrots. Took a Slovenian cream cake home for dessert and it was also very moorish

It is fair enough. It took 50 min to have a hamburger and Ceasar salad. The hamburger was good, my husband liked it. But the Ceasar salad was served with radicchio leaves and black olives!? And almost did not contain any sauce inside. All the sauce was placed on the boards of the plate as decoration. As well I did not find any croutons inside the salad. I still ate it, but I would highly recommend the revision the recipe. The beer we ordered (was just indicated as Radler in menu) turned out to be with red orange juice and was awful. But the staff was frendly.

We ordered the ribs & the Gnocchi dish. The BBQ on the ribs was the correct amount & were very fresh tasting. This was served with chips/wedges which were crispy and delicious. The Gnocchi was also perfect. The sauce was a garlic mustard cream & had beef pieces within it. We also got a water & Union Beer. No complaints at all.

As a local, I have been a regular customer of Marley & Me for the past few years; either during lunch- or dinner time. The interior is small, intimate and cosy, always with good music on; the exterior romantic and picturesque surrounded by old city buildings. The menu offers a selection of Slovenian and Mediterranean meals at a fair price, all very filling and tasty with a touch of home cuisine. Service is friendly, fast, caring and attentive; the waiters are dedicated, always smiling and kind, and they make you feel at home. In comparison with most other restaurants in the same row, Marley & Me has managed to maintain its authenticity and withstood the peaks of tourist seasons without jumping on the bandwagon of serving 'just because' which has resulted in poorer quality of both food and service, not to mention an increase of prices, elsewhere. What I find strange, is that while other restaurants are full, Marley & Me often remains relatively empty because it is, still, rather unknown and therefore underrated. Good for me, as I get to enjoy my favourite place to eat in the Old Town more; however, it deserves more attention because it guarantees an overall best experience there that you can get.

We tried to have dinner in a friday evening, we had no reservation but the outside seating was completely empty, not even one table occupied or with a reservation plate. We sat at a 4 chairs table; the waiter came and told us to move to a 2 seats table. It was no problem. I asked if we could borrow a chair to put our bags, since not even one chair was needed by anyone. He told us "No. If there is a problem, you can move to the next restaurant, maybe they will let you occupy the whole garden." We felt extremely welcomed. And left to eat in a place where restaurants are not disturbed by the presence of their (polite and nice) clients.

We wanted to eat outside and it was a busy night. This restaurant had both indoor and outdoor seating but we opted to wait and sit outside. Glad we did as it turned into a beautiful evening. We were able to enjoy some dishes that were definitely out of the ordinary, beef goulash and a ravioli dish that was very good.

Looking for a place to eat in Ljubljana, I stumbled across this place, having eaten next door for lunch. All of the tables were reserved (as the case in most of the restaurants I had passed), however, the waiter/manager were happy to accommodate me as it was a table for one. The waiter was very helpful, giving recommendations as to the best of the Taste Slovenia options (the Idrian Dumplings). The food came relatively quickly, and tasted amazing. The restaurant location was also great, deep in the old town. Unfortunately I was too full for a dessert, however, the Bled Cream Cake was very tempting and looked delicious, definitely something I plan to try on my next visit. I would 100% recommend this restaurant, but possibly best to book, especially if you are a party of more than 1.

We have found after 7 weeks travelling in Australia and Slovenia that vegetables at a restaurant are hard to find. But this place was an exception. I ordered the caniola sausage and it came with a plate of roasted veg. Delicious. The house wine was lovely as well.
