Defending the city

Ljubljana in Slovenia was an unexpected surprise - clean & stylish & much to see,and I will remember the prawn & truffle risotto for lunch for a very, very long time :) .....

Could you taste truffle? Always wonder what it tastes like! This fellow has a real eagle head for a dragon!

@maggiemae Oh my word yes! Woody & aromatic like very complex mushroom flavour, it can be quite strong if not used properly! It was fresh truffle grated over the risotto & truffle butter dressing but it was perfectly balanced & not too overpowering! :))))) We even bought a very small fresh truffle to cook with today (size of a small mushroom) as they are at a bargain price (today were are actually in Verona) of 23 Euros a KILO!!

Fabulous shot. Very moody!

I just absolutely adore this photo, everything about it. The moody lighting is what draws me in but so many other aspects are perfect. But if I hadn't fav'd it for all that, I certainly would have for your passionate description of the truffle to Maggiemae!!!!!!

I instantly knew where you took this photo! What a atmospheric image you have presented here. Oh, do tell -- what is the name of the prawn & truffle risotto for lunch place?

@jyokota Hi there! It was at the base of the Castle furnicular station, not far from the Dragon Bridge - it was called
Vodnikov Hram ( http://www.vodnikov-hram.si ) It was such an enormous serve ---- we felt soooo bad leaving some, but we could just not finish it all! Brilliant value. I just checked the website & menu online says it was 'Shrimp and truffle risotto' 8,00 € ....ahhh ... I remember the aroma....

@ltodd -- thanks I have added it to my Evernote file for Ljubljana. I've even started a new note for Valencia, beginning with your recommendations!
