Start a long day with a big breakfast at the Grand Hotel Primus. Their breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of local and traditional European breakfast dishes.

You will need a snack around noon. Gostišče pri Tonetu Svenšku swears by its authentic local cooking. You can order a board with local delicacies, which includes tünka and other local cured meats, such as sausages and specialties from horse meat.

If you are a fan of local food and wines, you will enjoy local specialties and Slovenian dishes made with fresh local ingredients at Gostilna Amadeus. You must try their homemade štruklji. Many prefer the sweet variety, where the rich walnut filling is nicely complemented by silky chocolate sauce.

As the day turns into night, we recommend enjoying in some culinary magic on a terrace overlooking Ptuj. Gostilna Grabar serves unique dishes that are at the same time a tribute to freshness and tradition.
