Ljubljana International: Slow Turkish Aegean Dinner – Rakı, Meze & Soul
📅 Saturday, June 13
⏰ 19:00
📍 Meyhane Zahir, Ljubljana
For one evening, Ljubljana becomes Izmir.
We'll gather around communal tables and enjoy a curated selection of authentic Turkish mezes, accompanied by rakı, music, stories, and great company.
A meyhane is more than a restaurant. It's a place where strangers become friends, where meals last for hours, and where people come together to share food, culture, laughter, and life.

🍽️ THE EXPERIENCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The evening begins with a complimentary welcome glass of rakı and a short introduction to Turkish rakı culture.
Together we'll raise a toast before dinner begins.
Throughout the evening, a curated selection of authentic Turkish Aegean mezes and dishes will be served to the table for sharing. Our chef will introduce the dishes and explain the traditions behind them.
Expect a slow-paced evening centered around good food, meaningful conversations, and genuine hospitality.
