The story
B-Restaurant in Ljubljana serves Mediterranean cuisine that draws its inspiration from the Slovene Carniolan honey bee. Chef Komnen brings training from Belgrade and London’s Ritz Hotel to his third consecutive Michelin Plate award. He reimagines classic regional recipes by pairing locally grown ingredients with precise technique, a standard reflected in his steady 14-point Gault&Millau rating. The Mediterranean kitchen prioritizes simplicity and high quality over complexity.
Diners often order the braised sea bass fillet, which rests on young spinach and fresh avocado. The fish retains a moist texture while the sautéed greens add earthy notes that balance the creaminess of the avocado. A rich dessert follows, featuring melted caramel poured alongside crunchy hazelnuts and a dark chocolate glaze. Fig ice cream anchors the plate, cutting through the sweetness with subtle floral acidity.
Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows line the upper level, framing sweeping views of the capital’s rooftops and evening lights. The layout offers flexible spaces that accommodate both quiet conversations and larger gatherings without losing intimacy. Attentive staff manage the flow between the dining area and the bar, keeping the pace relaxed. Guests settle easily into the environment as the service remains professional yet unobtrusive.
