Update: During summer holiday season, Odprta kuhna will be held on Fridays only (10:00-22:00).

Now in its 8th season, every Friday, June until late October (weather permitting) Pogačarjev Trg in Ljubljana’s old town transforms into one big melting point of culinary and social excitement, as Odprta Kuhna (Open Kitchen) takes over. Featuring the mouth-watering gastronomic creations of many of the finest restaurants throughout the country, as well as local beers, wines and spirits, to call this Ljubljana’s main event on a Friday would be something of an understatement, as the event always attracts large crowds of hungry (but not for long) folk. A full list of participants can be found on the official website, although after viewing the names it will be impossible to stay away.
