This place is a definition of a true local restaurant. Being one of the Ljubljana's oldest restaurants, it has survived both world wars and an earthquake.

Quote: “Robba impresses with its powerful artistic expression. Architects with the help of a simple spatial envelope of geometric patterns that are a paraphrase of Baroque design with Robba’s Fountain, managed to create a dynamic meeting place. Robba shows harmonious balance between illusion and reality.”
