TEXT: Restaurant Rog is situated on the edge of cultural center Rog, on banks of river Ljubljanica in Ljubljana center. The idea of restaurant is to reminiscence old times of Yugoslavia when this part of the city was strongly marked with the former Rog bike factory, employing a big percentage of Ljubljana inhabitance. Its subtle sketches of imaginary bikes are present on walls of the cafe and are a friendly reminder to those who remember. The floor, furniture and back wall are black, creating a cosy atmosphere, wrapped in soft beige/gray ambience with benches for seating and wooden cafe chairs. Interior is accented with Tom Dixon lights, making a connection to past time, when coffee was made and served in copper pots.
