Opened in July 2008, Valvas’or is a restaurant, located at Stari Trg 7, Ljubljana. It owes its name to the famous Slovene man Janez Vajkard Valvazor, who was born in the house across the street from the restaurant. Hiding behind the typology of his name is a dash of what composes the red thread of the establishment; history, novelty, gold (prestige).

The restaurant is designed as a modern, sober space, within an old, arched tavern, accessible from the ground floor. The idea was to create a space where old and new harmoniously unite to create the restaurant’s unique image. To preserve the charm and character of the old space, maintain a feeling of spaciousness, add the necessary elements for the activities currently implemented, design the whole in the spirit of our time, add a metropolitan touch and create a gourmet atmosphere in which to enjoy delicious food – such was the ambition of the authors.
