Generally, you'll be choosing to eat in either a restavracija (restaurant) or a gostilna, which is more like a tavern with down-to-earth atmosphere. If there's an accommodations attached to the tavern, it will probably be called a gostisce, making it a real "inn." Okrepcevalnice are snack bars where you can get in-between fillers or light meals. Meat (including horse) and fish feature heavily on the Slovene menu, and -- depending on where you are -- the cuisine shows some Austrian, Hungarian, or Italian influences; in Ljubljana there are a wide range of international dining establishments. Note: Like Italy, many restaurants in Slovenia charge a "bread and cover" charge -- in short, a 1€-to-3€ ($1.25-$3.75) cover charge (added to each bill) that you must pay for the mere privilege of sitting at the table. We have referred to this as "cover charge" in the dining sections.
