Dining Etiquette

If you want to know what Slovenians often eat, try a normal Sunday meal when you visit, have a stew during the week, and don't forget about the variety of street food alternatives with both regional and international flavors. Every morsel of food you consume will taste like it was grown in the location you are visiting. Slovenians make an effort to eat locally farmed food that has been developed in perfect harmony with the environment.

You should do some things as you are invited to a Slovenian's house to enjoy a meal there, including respecting your hosts by arriving on time or no later than five minutes before the appointed time, dressing formally and in items that you would need for the office.

At the door, taking off your shoes is customary. Most hosts provide guests with slippers to wear. Slovenians frequently keep their personal and professional life apart. As a result, it is a good idea to avoid starting business conversations in social settings. Even if you have not been officially asked to a meal, you should anticipate being provided some sort of refreshment. It is customary for the host to accompany departing guests to their vehicles.
