What Štruklji is

Rolled dough with cheese, walnut or tarragon filling.

Štruklji is listed as a dish in the Slovenia guide, where the index tags it mild and vegetarian. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.

Where to find Štruklji

Štruklji is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Slovenia. Markets and casual counters are the best value; the sit-down restaurant version is usually larger and more expensive.

The Slovenia guide also covers 6 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
