A
Okarina
This very upmarket restaurant has lost its parklike location just northwest of the Pri Planincu and is now in a modern dining room next to the post office. Still, the ethnic decorations and traditional musical instruments (an okarina is a small clay flute) remain, and along with well-prepared Slovenian and international favourites, the Okarina's tandoor oven produces decent Indian dishes like chicken tikka and rogan josh. There are a fair few vegetarians choices.

Gostilna Pri Planincu
En situ since 1903, this is a homely pub-restaurant just down the hill from the Bledec Hostel near the castle. It offers simple Slovenian mains and grilled Balkan specialities like čevapčiči (spicy meatballs of beef or pork; around €6.65) and tasty pljeskavica z kajmakom (Serbian-style meat patties with mascarpone-like cream cheese).

Castle Restaurant
The fabulous views are 'free' from the superbly situated terrace of the restaurant in the castle. It's run by the Bled's catering and tourism school and staffed by its charming students.

Planšar
If you want something light and incredibly tasty, head for the 'Herder', just opposite the Alpine Dairy Museum in Stara Fužina - appropriately enough. It specialises in home-made dairy products: hard Bohinj cheese, a soft, strong-tasting cheese called mohant (not to everyone's taste), cottage cheese, curd pie, sour milk and so on.
You and a friend can taste a variety of them for around €6.50 or make a meal of cheese and different types of grain dishes such as žganci (buckwheat) and ješprenj (barley). Other dishes available include štruklji (cheese dumplings) and jota (a thick soup of beans and salt pork).

Gostišče Rupa
Two country-style restaurants make a trip to Srednja Vas, the next village over from Studor and about 5km from Ribčev Laz, worthwhile. The first restaurant is Gostišče Rupa, which serves excellent home-cooked food, including spectacular Bohinj trout and ajdova krapi, crescent-shaped dumplings made from buckwheat and cheese. The second is Pri Hrvatu meals from around €15, an equally popular place that can trace its pedigree back eight decades.

Ǒstarija Peglez'n
A new favourite restaurant in Bled, the 'Iron Inn' is just opposite the landmark Grand Hotel Toplice. It has fascinating retro décor with lots of old household antiques and curios (including the eponymous iron) and wooden floors. It serves some of the best fish dishes in town. What's more, it is nonsmoking throughout.

Slaščičarna Šmon
Bled's culinary speciality is kremna rezina (cream cake; around €2.70), a layer of vanilla custard topped with whipped cream and sandwiched neatly between two layers of flaky pastry, and while Šmon may not be its place of birth, it remains the best place in which to try it.

Peking
This Chinese eatery opposite the Hotel Krim Bled has such favourites as hui guo rou (twice-cooked pork) and ma po doufu (spicy bean curd). They ain't exactly what you'd get in Chengdu, but this is Slovenia, after all.

Gostilna Mihovc
This place in Stara Fužina is a popular place - not least for its home-made brandy. Try the pasulj (bean soup) with sausage (around €5) or the beef golač (goulash).

Center Bohinj Pizzerija
This jack-of-all-trades just down from the tourist office is the only eatery in the centre of Ribčev Laz. It can satisfy all tastes (except very demanding ones).
