Kavarna Zvezda (Ljubljana, SLOVENIA) ★★★★☆

Café Zvezda on Wolfova Street has been a stalwart in the dining scene of Ljubljana. Already in its 15th year, it is still the place to be for a relaxing gathering among friends to share a few laughs and enjoy some of the finest coffee and dessert in town.



The legendary Zvezda cake (linzer dough base, mascarpone, cooked sour cherries, strawberry topping), Sacher cake (chocolate sponge cake, jam, chocolate coating), Emona cube (Chocolate sponge cake with coffee, vanilla cream with walnuts, chocolate) and Strudel Zvezda (puff pastry, whipped cream, apples, peaches / puff pastry, whipped cream, raisins, curd cheese) are just some of the highlights from their impressive menu.



Apart from pastries, Kavarna Zvezda is also highly regarded for their homemade ice-cream and macarons.

A little snack before dinner?

From top to bottom, left to right.....
lavender (grey), Zvezda cake (brown), Jasmine (beige)

Sacher cake (yellowish brown), Plum with cherry cream (pink), Caramel (light brown)

Pistachio (green), Green apple (light green), Blueberry (dark blue)

and here's my take.....
Superb: lavender, green apple and blueberry
Good: plum, caramel and pistachio
OK: Zvezda cake, Jasmine and Sacher cake

It's not difficult to understand why I fell in love with the Old town of Ljubljana at my first sight. Its small-town charm (French style) with a little Eastern European twist was irresistible.
