At the far end of the Jezersko valley, close enough to Austria that the mountains feel borrowed from both countries, this alpine restaurant leans into the landscape with trout, venison, and local beef on a menu that reads like a hiking itinerary. The wine cellar is the quiet showstopper: nearly 250 Slovenian labels available by the glass, which is the kind of statistic that makes a sommelier genuinely dangerous company.

A country restaurant and hotel set in the Slovenian countryside outside Radovljica, where the garden is the whole argument for a table in warm weather. The kitchen leans into Upper Carniola's position at the crossroads of Italian, Slavic, and Germanic food cultures, keeping things seasonal and local. The dining room runs classic and a little formal; the alcove tables feel more tucked away. Slovenian wines anchor the list.

Rank 103. Pop’s Pizza
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A golden wood-fired oven dominates the room at this two-floor Neapolitan pizza spot tucked into Ljubljana's pedestrian center, and it earns the attention. The dough ferments for 48 hours on sourdough, landing soft and light in a way that makes you understand why the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana handed out its certification. Cocktails are taken more seriously than you'd expect, and the tiramisu has its fans. It landed at 34 on 50 Top Pizza Europe.

Rank 104. Verace
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A Neapolitan-style pizza joint in Nova Gorica where the approach is old-school Naples and the room matches: lively, unfussy, a nice counter up front and an outdoor terrace that seats close to a hundred when the weather cooperates. The pizzas are traditional and carefully made, with a tiramisu at the end that earns its reputation. Named among Europe's excellent pizzerias by 50 Top Pizza, which tracks this stuff closely.
