  3. Kitajski Vrt

    Ptuj's only Chinese restaurant is almost opposite the Ribič and has a fair few vegetable dishes on its menu. It's not especially authentic but if you crave noodles, you'll find them here.

  5. Ribič

    Arguably the best restaurant in Ptuj, the 'Angler' faces the river and the speciality here is - not surprisingly - fish, especially boiled or fried trout. The seafood soup served in a bowl made of bread is exceptional. If the oil on the salad tastes odd (nutty, a little smoky), that's because it's pumpkin-seed oil (bučno olje), a speciality of the Drava Plain region. Make sure to have the dessert speciality: chocolate fondant with ice cream. There's live Slovenian folk music some nights.
