Hands down the best food experience we had in both Bled and Slovenia! For those of you who find yourself confused, it appears that this lake side restaurant (or the staff / owners) were originally in a hotel up the street. These people decided to move down here to be by the lake and for a much larger / nicer restaurant.

We decided to try both this one and the “original” location. Without a shadow of doubt it’s the people who make a restaurant and not the location. Old Cellar Bled (Lake View) was the better experience across the board! Right out the gate the staff welcome you in at the front door, the restaurant looks great and has a luxury feel.

The food was fantastic! We had the King Prawns (which were super tender), the Lamb Shank (my favorite meal of the whole trip), and two desserts. An order of the bled cake and a local dessert called Gibanica. The staff was very friendly and kind as well which is how it should be when paying these prices. Overall, you should totally check this place out!

Excellent restaurant with unparalleled views and classic dishes. As someone that has dined in many Michelins, including the French Laundry, this is a restaurant that I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

There is plenty of outdoor seating. Tables by the waterfront view require reservations. Service was excellent, and our waitress, Inja, had fantastic taste and palate for pairing wines with entrees and for dessert wines.

We started with tartare. This was truthfully decent compared to tartares that I have had, but it is tartare nonetheless (and certainly better than what you can find in the States). The beef cheeks were heavy but balanced with the carrots that were firm and sweet and cauliflower. It’s a really thoughtful dish.

Unpictured, but my partner had the lamb shank. That was good, and much leaner than the lamb you find in the US, which is consistent with the lamb I have had in Europe generally. The wine pairings with this dish were superb. I also had a negroni to start, which was great and plenty strong.

Very atmospheric place with excellent view to the lake. The quality of the food and wine was superb. The only thing that was better, was the service by our waiter, Kristijan, who elevated our dinner to an amazing experience. He was professional while being friendly and attentive to our needs. We had one of our best dinners here.

Was dead impressed. We visited the night before for drinks only outside and didn’t know what to expect inside the restaurant. It was buzzing and much smarter than expected given the advertising over the windows on the roadside. Food was delicious – octopus and gnocchi – and service was great. Highly recommend though advise booking as we were lucky to be seated at the communal table when we arrived.

Absolutely fantastic!! The lamb shank was delicious. This was probably one of the best meals we’ve had. I emailed for a reservation. I also wanted to be close to the water because it was my husband’s birthday. The staff were incredibly accommodating. It was indeed a special evening. Lovely view!!

Very good restaurant.
Great service, our waiter knew the size and ingredients, so we could order good plates.
Beef tartar and gnocchi were perfect, porcini cappuccino was very good too.

While the view is amazing, the food is poor and price doesn’t fit to what you get. Seafood risotto was undercooked and under seasoned. The cream cake was good but nothing I would remember. You pay for the place and view. The waiter was very friendly and we got table very quickly.

We had a lovely lunch on the terrace, viewing Lake Bled, on a warm, sunny October day!
We tried local dishes and prawns, both options very tasty and in generous portions!
Apparently you aren’t allowed to smoke outside, but that didn’t bother me!

Special end to our holiday. We booked a week in advance to make sure we had a good table. If you’re a couple looking for a good view and romantic vibe, it’s definitely worth booking with them via email in advance. The food was special. The service was exemplary. The bled cake stole the show and was much nicer than the neighbouring restaurant that has the ‘original’ version.

We’ve got a table on a sunday evening without reservation.
Very nice atmosphere, and design, although there was a bit noisy. Could hear a busy kitchen and behind the couter hustle. But the service and food can compensate for any slightest discomfort.
The service was exellent, careful and professional.
We orderd fish, seabass and river trout. The dishes were fine looking and combination of ingredients and garnish just prefect. The fish was fresh and soft, nicely fried, with much taste.
The slovenian orange wine accompanied nicely with the dishes.
They charge you for the service, 2,5 per person. But water, bread with olive and amuse-bouche comes at no extra charge.
We were very satisfied with whole experience!
