This season, report the organisers, has been particularly successful, with a record number of Open Kitchens in Ljubljana and other cities, which included Koper, Nova Gorica, Celje, Novo mesto and Ptuj. The team behind this already well-known has also organised the Spring and Autumn Beer & Burger Fest, which were already 12th and 13th in a row, and the first Brina festival in Križanke, the Ljubljana gin festival, which exceeded all expectations.

In the record-breaking 7th season the providers of the best Slovenian restaurants prepared more than 300 different dishes. Almo Kochavy, co-founder of Open Kitchen, is especially pleased that among a number of new entrants this season, many top chefs such as Igor Jagodic (Strelec Restaurant), Jorg Zupan (Atelje), Peter Kovač (Maxim), Mojmir Šiftar (Evergreen), Luka Gmajner and Marko Magajne (Flavors Gallery) and Damjan Fink (Fink House), also joined the stalls this year.

The team is also proud of the attention this season’s Open Kitchen was given by the local and foreign press, including French magazine Marie Claire, Olive Magazine, the Dutch RTLZ portal, Finnish and German national broadcasters,  National Geographic and Netflix. Open Kitchen was also among recommendations made by The Independent, The Guardian and Lonely Planet travel guide.

Such recognition of Open Kitchen contributes to greater recognition of the city as well as the Slovenian culinary scene in general. The team is not resting over the winter, however, as they are already in preparations for the upcoming season, in which events will be hosted in both existing and new locations.

Fingers crossed it comes to our town next.

Dober tek!
