The Best Seafood Near fischerhaus, by the Record

A former abbey forge right on the edge of Lake Ossiach, the stone cross-vaulted ceiling a reminder that someone once hammered metal where the kitchen now stands. This is a regional seafood restaurant where a third-generation family chef cooks fish sourced from a responsible local aquaculture farm. The terrace faces the lake and the mountains, which is an unfair advantage over most dining rooms in the world.

Tables on the river with Ljubljana Castle glowing behind them at night make the setting almost unfairly picturesque. Inside, the chef designed the room personally, muted tones and an intimate feel borrowed from early last century. The cooking is Mediterranean, leaning hard into fish and seafood, with a Slovenian wine list available by the glass. Book ahead if you want the lamb from the wood-fired oven.
