There is an expression in Slovenia that can be translated as "Love is experienced through the stomach".

The traditional first course is a soup (mainly beef or chicken soup), thick soups take an obligatory and important place in Slovenian cuisine.


Here is some thick Goveja jukha beef soup.


Here is some Kisla Juha soup, with pork, vegetables and vinegar.


Then, you can order many different main courses. For example:

- Sausages "cevapcici" or "carniolan" served with sliced onions
- Ravioli "Zlikrofi"
- Calamaris with cheese and ham
- Pilaf, which is a speciality with rice and crabs, shrimps and mussels
