Across the road from St. Joseph’s Church, Mencigor Nobile is a wonderfully unpretentious restaurant specialising in traditional food from the Prekmurje region of northeast Slovenia. The three dining areas, known as the Glažar, Janc and Goričko rooms are decorated with classic folk motifs and cooking utensils and are, as are the clientele that frequent them, as a diverse as it gets. A popular place for coffee and a break with teenagers and workers during the day, the evenings see a slightly classier crowd descending for the excellent, good value food and occasional folk-related nights of entertainment.

If you want to eat traditional Slovenian food in really great atmosphere with nice staff and delicious food, this is the place! And you must MUST try "prekmurska gibanica"! :)

This is only one restaurant outside of region where you can taste awasome cousine from that region in the middle of capital of Slovenia.

The delightful Gostilna Mencigar-Nobile has tooken inspiration from the cooking of the Prekmurje region in the far east of Slovenia along the border with Hungary. The food here is really something special. Starters include tunka, meat preserved in lard; buckwheat soup made with milk; frogs' legs with Prekmurje ham. Two of Prekmurje's trademark dishes bograč and bujta repa are so well-liked around Slovenia that they have featured on postage stamps. Bograč is a stew of pork, beef and veal richly spiced with paprika to show off the region's Hungarian links. Bujta repa is shredded, sour turnip traditionally prepared to accompany fresh pork on koline festive pig slaughtering days. The Mencigars serve it in a steaming cauldron served with home-prepared koline pork and sausages. Also featuring on those stamps is the region's best known delicacy, Prekmurska gibanica, a fabulously intense cake made of layers of filo pastry, poppy seeds, apple, walnut and cream cheese. It's divine and something of a national dish in Slovenia. Mencigar's has a dessert to rival it ice cream made from the black-as-pitch pumpkin seed oil which Slovenes usually use to season their salads.
