Gault&Millau's review 2026

The stylishly designed bistro at Trnovska vrata remains a popular refuge for guests of different generations who enjoy familiar flavours but still expect a dish to surprise them a little. Although the menu changes from month to month, certain dishes keep drawing guests back time and again. Among them is the French-inspired beef tartare with quail egg, which impresses with its balanced flavours, beautifully complemented by crispy pommes frites. Among the more enticing dishes are the homemade ravioli filled with fig jam and Pecorino cheese, served in a rich butter sauce with shiitake mushrooms. With advance reservation, guests can indulge in the refined Birdie Rossini - beef fillet accompanied by foie gras and caramelised apple. The defining moment comes during service, when a silky egg-yolk cream brings the elements together into a luxurious bite. Those with a sweet tooth will not be disappointed either. Their crème brûlée is enjoyable to the very last spoonful. Birdie is built on comfort, but never on predictability. Familiar flavours are given just enough of a contemporary touch to remain reassuringly familiar, yet never boring.
