In Maribor, you can dine where future chefs gain experience

Sedem Restaurant (Restavracija Sedem) is at Cafova ulica 7. Michelin’s description of its name also points out the connection to the street number, presenting the restaurant as a place where hospitality students gain experience with the support of experienced staff.

This detail is interesting even before you arrive. The name is more than a sign on the door: it introduces the story of the place.

Sedem is connected to the Vocational College of Hospitality and Tourism (Višja šola za gostinstvo in turizem). Under the guidance of mentors, students take part in professional processes, developing their knowledge through actual work with guests.

During your visit, you can observe how many different tasks make up a good meal: preparation, coordination between kitchen and service, attentive serving and responding to guests’ wishes. Dinner gains another dimension as you also witness the beginnings of professional careers.

City Terasa at Ulica kneza Koclja 22 presents Adriatic cuisine with a view of the Drava.

A location like this is an option for a meal that adds a different perspective on the city. After exploring the streets, stop above the river and allow yourself time at the table. For a special occasion, check the reservation options and your preferred seating.

If you are heading to a performance, choose an earlier meal and say when you need to finish. For a tasting menu, organise your evening around the restaurant.

For lunch between sightseeing stops, compare locations along your route. That way, you will spend less time retracing your steps through the city and more on what interests you.
