Beli labod – restaurant

Beli labod – White swan is a Chinese restaurant on Kolodvorska 20 in Ljubljana, owned by the Wang and Feng families. We went there with our colleagues for lunch, which meant a 10 minutes walk. We sat outside in the winter garden, where the space is well heated by a gas stove. Otherwise, they have their own delivery and option via Wolt. The menu includes classic Chinese dishes, which is a varied choice.

Between 10 am and 4 pm, in addition to the main course, you are entitled to an appetizer, salad and dessert for the excellent price of € 7.9 (otherwise the main course is more). I take sour spicy soup for appetizer and Mongolian beef for the main course, next to it are fried bananas for dessert (2 pieces). I was more than full in the end and I am quite happy with the whole experience.

We are served fast enough, the food is delicious enough, the portions are plentiful, I add chili to my main course. So if you are nearby at lunch time and you enjoy Chinese food this is the right choice. There are also disadvantages, Mongolian meat was served on an ordinary plate, staff has problems with Slovene language, the quality could be improved, but probably not for that price.

Today, in addition to the location on Kolodvorska, they also have locations on Miklošičeva (poke bowl), Slovenska (dumplings) and Jurčkova (restaurant).

Update 9.3.2026 – White swan Dumplings, Slovenska

I headed to the beginning of Slovenska cesta for a snack. They’re quite busy, mostly students from nearby faculties. I ordered dumplings with beef. I pay €8.5 for 15 pieces. Since it’s crowded, I wait for quite a while. When it was my turn, a table was freed up so I could sit down. The price is reasonable, 15 pieces for this money. However, the quality is not that great, a couple of pieces are a little burnt and each piece is quite small. A typical place for students.

Update 17.3.2026 – White swan Poke bowl, Miklošičeva

On Miklošičva Street, they opened another location. They sell here poke bowls. I chose one with tuna, cucumbers, edamame, and spicy mayonnaise sauce. A bit of a problem ordering as the staff didn’t speak English or Slovenian. I paid 13.9€ and took it to the office. The potion was not too big, taste was average.
