A Culinary Retreat By Lake Bled

If you need a retreat from your daily routine, it’s time to visit Bled. Eatgram invites you to explore the culinary traditions of this gorgeous destination.

Bled is located by the picturesque Lake Bled surrounded by the beautiful Julian Alps. Local restaurants boast breathtaking views from their terraces overlooking the city and the lake. What a great opportunity for al fresco dining experiences!

Not sure what to start with? Your gourmet wish list wouldn't be complete without savoring the local freshwater fish. Go with the Bled Lake Trout. It’s always, be it grilled, smoked, or pan-seared. Remember to complement your trout with a glass of local wine, refreshing and clear as the Alpine air. Here’s to the natural beauty of Bled!

And now, it’s time for national specialties. Here are some dishes to introduce you to traditional Slovenian cuisine. Žlikrofi, little dumplings with potato, bacon, and onion fillings, go well with meat dishes or may be enjoyed with sour cream. Kranjska Klobasa, an appetizing sort of sausage, is made from prime cuts of pork infused with garlic, pepper, and aromatic herbs.

Sweeten your culinary adventure with Bled’s famed local pastry – Bled Cream Cake. Luxuriate in layers of delicate pastry and flavorful vanilla cream. This divine cake is dusted with powdered sugar and literally melts in your mouth. Pair it with freshly brewed coffee and enjoy life!

Slovenia’s iconic mineral water Radenska will help you quench your thirst on a hot summer day. If you’re an ice cream enthusiast, be sure to treat yourself to a cone of Bled’s irresistible gelato that comes in a variety of flavors.

You’ll definitely remember your sophisticated gourmet retreat with the backdrop of Bled lake and the city’s historical buildings and castles.
