sokol

This restaurant is awesome! I had been eating at the touristy restaurants near the river for lack of a better option. The Sokol (Hawk) is a restaurant that serves "Slovenian National Food". I checked it out last night while walking around first thinking it was more like a bar, an empty bar. I looked inside and found that the place had an upstairs that was packed with people, and all these people were eating hearty dishes full of meat and cabbage and dumplings. Yes! So its still a little touristy in that there seem to be lots of foreigners there, but most are accompanied by their slovenian friends, who have brought them to this restaurant to indulge in the food and beer. Sokol makes their own beer served in resealable bottles. Delicious, and it went so well with my roast pork home potatoes and cabbage. I went back tonight and had the game plate, which was stag, boar and venison steaks one in a cherry sauce another in a mushroom sauce and the last in a green pepper sauce (green pepper like the kind that turns black when dried and is then ground up over food, not like bell peppers). It was so delicious. Check it out when you are in Ljubljana.
