About This Spot
Nestled in the heart of Portorož, Brunch bar Strega unfolds like a welcoming pause in your day—a casual local eatery where time moves just a little slower and every visit feels like a small, shared secret. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere balances a gentle hum of conversation with a relaxed ease, inviting you to linger over flavors that are both comforting and thoughtfully crafted.
As the morning light filters through the windows, this spot hums quietly with the promise of freshly brewed coffee, the faint aroma weaving into the air alongside the bustling warmth of familiar voices and clinking cups. It’s a place where simple moments—sharing a plate of food or savoring a perfectly balanced drink—carry a distinct sense of place and care. The pace is unhurried but lively enough to feel connected to the rhythm of local life.
Brunch bar Strega’s offerings reveal their character through genuine, unpretentious flavors. Whether it’s a richly layered burger that feels both familiar and surprising, or delicate bites that evoke a sense of nostalgia, each dish feels like an honest expression of the kitchen’s heart. Drinks here—be it a velvety coffee or something lighter—are crafted to complement these meals, inviting you to settle in and enjoy.
The people behind the counter contribute quietly but powerfully to that sense of belonging. There’s a modesty in their service that doesn’t shout for attention but instead gently ensures you feel seen and comfortable, like visiting an old friend who happens to be an exceptional cook. Even the little accommodations for the youngest guests speak to a thoughtful, community-minded spirit that quietly reverberates through this cozy spot.
For those wandering through Portorož looking for that intersection of honest food, unassuming charm, and an environment that encourages relaxed discovery, Brunch bar Strega offers a gentle invitation—a space where the food isn’t rushed, the atmosphere is warm, and the quiet human moments linger long after the meal ends.

Probably the best hot dog I've ever had. The food and coffee were truly perfect. They could serve breakfast longer, especially since it's called Brunch Bar, but they stop serving breakfast at noon. The waitress could be nicer, but the rest of the staff makes up for it.

The story of Darko and his team can actually be described in two ways: very simply, or very complexly. Simply, because it is honest. Complexly, because such honesty is rare in today’s gastronomy. Darko is a large man by stature, yet surprisingly he has learned to be modest in his ego. And that, today, is his greatest strength. Over the past month, I have visited several restaurants adorned with red plaques and prestigious awards, and I often asked myself whether the recognition has become a goal in itself. If one were to judge purely by the contents of the plate, rather than popularity or trend, these doors would undoubtedly deserve equal attention. If I had to choose which doors should bear a red plaque, I would hang it here, just as I would for restaurant JB. A snack, such as pork knuckle, was once a simple dish, not considered particularly special, although in northern countries it is still regarded as a highlight of the menu. Here, however, the humble knuckle, as prepared by Darko and his team, always becomes a dish that belongs among culinary highlights. It is a natural evolution of the dish. The result is a gastronomic experience that transports you from the memories of the past to the future you wish for Slovenian gastronomy. This is a place where burek, kebab, and jufka remain what they are – street snacks. Not because anyone dismisses them, but because here you know there is something more. Visiting a place where even a snack can surprise you with dishes like bobičí, paprikaš, beef cheek, or today, knuckle, is a luxury measured not in courses, but in knowledge and respect for local or Slovenian cuisine. To offer a basic meal at the level of the best restaurants requires more than goodwill. It demands effort, perseverance, and, above all, an understanding of the kitchen as a culture, not a product. Having such a restaurant as your local spot is a privilege. An even greater privilege is that, for a fair price even what I would dare to call an inexpensive meal, you receive more than you could ever expect. Perhaps just a small piece of advice: I do not know which spice Darko uses as his signature, though I notice it in many dishes. Perhaps next time, a dish could breathe without it. Thanks to Darko and the entire team for making each of my visits to the Primorska region brighter thanks to your hospitality. The food you prepare is not merely good it quietly awakens the rare hormone of happiness even the next day, a feeling that only true cuisine can evoke. And yes, even the local cat knows where the finest aromas on the Primorska come from.

The best salad I've ever tasted.. The food is not too expensive, the staff is nice and the atmosphere is pleasant.

Rally good food and nice stuff! The Burger was phenomenal and they even did something else for my 4year old. Nothing special but they had no problem to adapt. Great and thanks!

I've just had a coffee here and it was really good. But, it is the lady serving, who makes all the difference. She makes you feel welcome.

Darko and his team always go the extra mile to make sure everything is at the highest level. It’s one of the best places to visit when you want to eat, drink, and enjoy yourself. The atmosphere is among the friendliest and most welcoming you’ll find anywhere – full of good vibes, warmth, and kindness. I always enjoy coming back!

This was our second visit of the place and it’s absolutely amazing. The atmosphere, the food, the vibes, it’s all perfect . The chef is talking to the customers, making sure everything is fine, the food is all homemade, even though it might seem as more of a “fast food” type of place but nothing can be further from the truth. This is top 3 food places in Slovenia and i recommend it to everyone, both natives and tourists. The portions are large and fulfilling, while the prices are actually very decent or quite low for such a portion. We were 3, had 4 different dishes, drinks and coffee and we paid only 45 eur in total. Will come again.
