We were starting to know this place pretty well now having dined here a few times. Valvas'or, where we dined 2 days ago is located right next door.
We arrived at Julija a little after 8pm following a visit to the Ljubljana Castle and had to wait about 15-20 minutes for a table. We were given a bar table on the side while we waited and decided to take a quick look at the menu. That way, we could immediately order after we were seated.
It was getting a bit late so we decided against having too much meat at this hour. Things got rolling first with a Greek salad with rocket leaves, eggplant, tomato, olive, cheese and prawns. A simple and unspectacular start to our dinner (4/10).
Better was my pan seared scallops with lemon cream and mashed potatoes (5.5/10).
Adding to the Mediterranean flavors was our first main course, grilled octopus with cherry tomatoes. It reminded me of a similar dish we had in Santorini but this one paled in comparison when it comes to size and flavor (5.5/10).
Our final dish was a handmade Istrian-style pasta with mushrooms and asparagus. Nothing comparing to the Istrian-style pasta we had at Valvas'or the other night. A slightly more flavorful sauce would have helped to tie everything together nicely (5/10).
