How to actually get a reservation at Julija?

Do you know for sure the restaurant is open? It's summer, there is some
possibility the restaurant is on vacation. And, I mean, if you really want to
go there, call them, keeping the time difference in mind.

Barring that, if you are going to be in Ljubljana for a bit, I'd stop by the
restaurant and inquire about reservations in person at the start, in the
hopes you can get a table later in your stay. You could also see how they
handle no-shows.

Thank you! It seems unlikely this particular restaurant is taking a vacation right now. I have thought about calling (though not sure about doing that from the U.S.) or stopping by, but I am looking to go at the very beginning of our trip, hence I am wondering how far in advance one must reserve.

We did not dine at Julija, however we did have a fantastic experience at Georgie Bistro. Cuisine and service were both exemplary. You may want to take a look at them as an alternative. They do take reservations. https://georgiebistro.si/en/home

Do you not have the # for the restaurant, or just not know how to make an
international call?

Here is the # for Julija: Phone: +386 (0) 1 425 64 63

To make the call: on your mobile phone, hold down the "0" key for a moment
and the "+" sign should appear. Dial the rest of the number as above, leaving
off the (0). Should work fine. The trick is holding down the 0 key.

If you have Skype or some other internet calling service, this should work as
well on the phone or computer.

Of course, if you're making a call straight off your mobile phone, check to see
what you're charged for an international call. But the call will be short, so not
too much to worry about.

I had the same issue with no reply to my email. I emailed my hotel and asked if they could call. Bingo! Reservation made.

Try this.

Thanks for advice on making calls in Slovenia, I will probably be making a few.

And yes, I have considered that besides inquiring in person, that the best bet might be to ask someone who speaks Slovenian to call and make a reservation. Thanks!

Do not worry about language barrier, especially in Ljubljana, most people there speak excellent English.

Thanks so much for this post and all the responses. I just posted the same question on another thread, but deleted it when I saw this thread. I've e-mailed Julija twice, but no response. Will call them. If that doesn't work, I'll ask my hotel to call.

As it turns out, I contacted the host of my apartment in Ljubljana, and she has a friend who works at Julija and can make a reservation for me. Nice!
