Tipping is not traditionally a common practice in Slovenia although with the influx of foreign visitors it has become more accepted in recent years. Some restaurants and hotels will levy a service charge automatically on a bill and if not around 10% would be a sufficient amount to tip. Taxi drivers and hotel staff should be rewarded by one or two Euros for good service.

Goulash is perhaps the most popular dish, made of beef or lamb and slow cooked in a thick gray with carrots, mushrooms, potatoes and seasoning.
