    Default Vegan in Slovenia?

    Does anyone know if there are any typical Slovenian dishes that are suitable for vegans? Or is there anything I should avoid that looks vegan but isn't? I'm going there on holiday for a few days next month, we're hiring a camper van so we'll be able to cook our own food but if there is any local food that's vegan-friendly I'd like to try some. Also, what other languages (if any) do they list the ingredients in on packaged supermarket food?

    True.
    RIP, Janez Drnovšek.

    Anyway, otherwise the vegan situation in Slovenia is improving...it shouldn't be too big problem for you to eat there; be a bit careful in restaurants.

    Hey, looks like I've found this thread a bit too late - I was in Slovenia 2 weeks ago! (And very nice it was too ) It was actually quite ok for food, the supermarket in the small town I stayed in (Bovec) had quite a few vegan/soya products, and I just about managed at the restaurants too. In Ljubljana I tried a place in called Ajdovo Zrno which was pretty good, at least if you like salad-type stuff.

    Not much help but there's a vegan Slovenian on youtube. She's cute as hell.

    sloveniens (slovenes?), i ahve a question for you. do you knwo if there is a brand of margarine in croatia which is vegan? i doubt it, of course, but reading labels is still tricky for me.

    i appreciate you might not have the same brands in slovenia, but it's possible, so i thought i might ask. i keep meaning to go into bio and bio but forgetting. i also thought it might be more expensive to buy 'specialist' stuff.

    i'm sure you're visiting friends here, but if you're at a loose end drop me a line. i don't live far from the centre of town (right near the bus station).

    yeah, zagreb is a really nice city. i'm feeling quite at home here now. there are a couple of veggie restaurants and one vegan, but i've actually yet to try them out. one of them is highly recommended to me by lots of omni croatians.

    glad you had fun!
