I ...Yes, I believe that's the right name Disablez. I agree, the menu ventured onto the sweet side rather than the earthy, savoury and peppery flavours I'm accustomed to at the moment.<BR/><BR/>I should check out that Chinese restaurant you mentioned. Isn't it nice to live with talented cooks?Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495459652041250622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047282078736670962.post-31774226437989222612007-03-12T09:48:00.000+00:002007-03-12T09:48:00.000+00:00There's one nice chinese in Domzale, Kitajsko mest...There's one nice chinese in Domzale, Kitajsko mesto... it's not so chinese (very europeized dishes) but to us it is a quite nice place.<BR/><BR/>La cantina mariachi, if that is the name, is not what I'm used to. It has a pair of good dishes, but the top-spicy thingies felt like a sweet to me. And there is also a Spanish one, but of Spanish it only has the name, and the flamenco stereotypes... was ok but not Spanish at all.<BR/><BR/>So I'm lucky that my wife is such an excellent cook :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047282078736670962.post-60805130772812708492007-03-12T09:13:00.000+00:002007-03-12T09:13:00.000+00:00That's cool Jean!

I've been to a few, but not frequently and anyway I'm not much of a connoisseur. I like the prices at the one near my daughter's dijaski dom on Poljanska ulica--you can get a set meal, portions large enough to feed two hungry people, for about 5 euros. Not qualified to comment on the quality of the food, I'll gratefully scarf just about anything when I'm hungry, especially if someone else does the cooking.<BR/><BR/>This page might be useful:<BR/><BR/>http://www.slovenia-life.com/ljubljana/restaurants/<BR/><BR/>and this:<BR/><BR/>http://www.sloveniawelcomes.com/expats/<BR/><BR/>The expats club organizes monthly dinners at various restaurants.

I checked out one of the Mexican restaurants (Cantina, I think) and the heat was decent, but not at the level I'm used to. I tried this appetizer there that was basically a large plate of hot peppers and fried cheese: hot, yes, but a little too greasy.<BR/><BR/>I've also tried a couple of places selling Middle Eastern dishes (delicious, but heat-wise they don't register) but I haven't tried the Chinese restaurant yet . . . have you been there? Is there anything you would suggest? I'm always on the lookout for potential restaurants.<BR/><BR/>You did get me thinking - I should keep searching for a decent fix and keep my options open!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495459652041250622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047282078736670962.post-22794715174573457022007-03-11T20:52:00.000+00:002007-03-11T20:52:00.000+00:00But don't you have a fair number of ethnic restaur...But don't you have a fair number of ethnic restaurants in Ljubljana now? Chinese, Mexican, Middle Eastern...? Can you get your spice fix that way?<BR/><BR/>Pickings are a lot slimmer (at least as far as variety is concerned) outside the capital.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970454646681831971noreply@blogger.com
