I was just in LJU for a week in November. My trip report is located at Slovenia trip

There is a Food market on friday afternoons that has a lot of different vendors. I would strongly recommend Cafe Cokl for coffee. Iva at http://www.ljubljananjam.si/ does a series of food and beer walking tours which can give you a great feeling of the smaller local cuisines

In Zagreb I really enjoyed this restaurant :

Thank you both for the suggestion.

davidgrahammd - I enjoyed your report - thanks for sharing. I love the milk vending machines! Are the milk vending machines locate everywhere ? I would like to try this.

I will be landing on Friday, hopefully I will had chance to try the food market.
How far away from the airport to the city? I will be staying at Four Points by Sheraton Ljubljana Mons.

helosc - The food on the menu on Agava look very interest. Any special disk do you recommend ?

Due the the currency on Zagreb, should I need to get the currency exchange in USA first, or do they take credit card ?

Thanks again...

We ate there four times and even if I don't remember all that we had, I remember being pleased with it all.

I remember loving the salad with the grilled fresh tuna. And I remember my companion liking the oven baked octopus with vegetables.

The waiters are very good at making suggestions, also drink suggestions - they have some nice wines.

I paid cash so I don't know if they take credit cards.

Ljubljana is nice, but (Lake) Bled is breathtaking and the Postojna Caves are also top of the "must see" list. Give Slovenia 2 or 3 days to scratch the surface.

I can also recommend a restaurant in Ljubljana. I went there for a one day trip from Zagreb.
Bistro Zvezda on the Kongresni Square. They have daily specials for lunch and also a regular menu card.

Thank you both.
I decided to stay 3 night in Ljubljana, and 1 night in Zagreb.
Just need to figure out how much should I bring for the currency in Zagreb, since they are not using Euro.

Thanks again,
Lee

Have a nice trip.
The train ride from Ljubljana to Zagreb is really nice, lovely views.

As far as currency exchange is concerned for Croatia, take your ATM card with you and use it when you get there. You won't find many places in the USA that deal in the Croatian Kuna (HRK).

When I visited Croatia two months ago, the exchange rate was $1 bought 6.13 HRK. xe.com reports today (2/12/15) that the exchange rate is now HRK6.74 for $1; this is about a 9% devaluation of the HRK in two months' time.

The exchange rate is fixed, in that it's directly tied to the price of the Euro.

Highly disagree. Ljubljana is a great small city, and a hidden gem in Europe. Slovenia will always be this way unless they ever upgrade the airport, which I doubt they will. Bled is also really nice, both in summer and winter (lake froze over when I was there, could walk out to the island in the middle).
