A Celebration of Local Flavours
Chef Jakob Pintar reinvents Slovenian dining with a focus on bold combinations and playful presentations. Vegetables from his own garden and ingredients from artisan producers—like the local goat cheeses and venison sausages—are at the heart of his menus. His dishes blur the line between haute cuisine and comfort food, offering daring creations like beetroot-infused head cheese shaped into a pig’s snout or Krškopolje bacon garnished with herbs and edible flowers. It’s Slovenian tradition reimagined, with every plate crafted to spark curiosity and delight.
Rare Wine Haven
Wine enthusiasts can immerse themselves in sommelier Jurij Osole’s curated collection of 200 natural and biodynamic wines. Enjoy a guided tasting of rare orange wines—Slovenia’s signature style—or let Jurij pair each dish with a wine that highlights its flavours. For a deeper dive, explore the nearby Ljubljana market with Chef Jakob, where he sources the seasonal produce that inspires his ever-evolving menus.
Where History, Culture, and Modern Vibes Meet
Located in Ljubljana’s lively centre, TaBar is surrounded by a city where old-world charm meets a modern cultural pulse. Stroll along the romantic Ljubljanica river, explore vibrant markets, or admire the architectural brilliance of Jože Plečnik. From historic Roman traces to bustling cafés and galleries, the city’s blend of Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau influences creates a dynamic backdrop. Whether you're here for its rich history, thriving arts scene, or just to soak in the laid-back charm, Ljubljana makes dining at TaBar part of an unforgettable urban experience.
Rooted in Sustainability
Every decision at TaBar reflects a commitment to sustainability. Chef Jakob’s ingredients come from within a 100km radius, including vegetables he grows himself and hand-selected meats from local farms. Even the wine list prioritises organic and biodynamic labels, showcasing Slovenia’s finest vineyards. This dedication ensures TaBar isn’t just a meal—it’s a statement of respect for the land and the people who cultivate it.
We wanted to create a place where food, wine, and atmosphere flow together naturally—a space that feels like home, but with surprises at every turn.
