Filo pastry coiled around savoury cheese, meat, spinach, or apple, baked in a round tin and cut into wedges. Sold by weight at Olimpija and Nobel from morning to past midnight; the most consumed Slovenian late-night food.
Burek arrived in Slovenia from Bosnia and the Ottoman Balkans, and after Yugoslav-era migration to Ljubljana from the 1960s onward became a defining Ljubljana street food. Olimpija on Miklosiceva and Nobel near the train station have served burek 24 hours since the 1990s, with the apple version (jabolcni) a Slovenian-specific touch.
