Jakob Pintar: Boldly Redefining Slovenian Cuisine

Chef Jakob Pintar brings an avant-garde vision to Slovenian gastronomy. Trained in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe, Jakob combines classical technique with daring creativity. His dishes, like venison sausages paired with foraged herbs or aged goat’s cheese highlighted by vibrant garden vegetables, are as surprising as they are satisfying. Rooted in the local landscape but inspired by global artistry, Jakob’s cooking at TaBar celebrates Slovenia in a way that’s fresh, bold, and entirely his own.

Slovenia has so much to offer—from the woods to the markets, to the vineyards and gardens. My cooking is simply a way of bringing it all to the table.

TaBar

Ljubljana, Slovenia
JRE JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs

At TaBar, located in Ljubljana’s reimagined Center Rog, tradition collides with bold innovation. Chef Jakob Pintar and sommelier Jurij Osole craft an experience that’s distinctly Slovenian yet refreshingly unconventional. Known for its seasonal, garden-inspired menus and rare natural wines, TaBar offers two dining styles: laid-back bar snacks downstairs and intricate tasting menus upstairs. Its industrial-chic setting mirrors the restaurant’s ethos: rooted in heritage, yet daringly forward-thinking.
