My sister and I spent three nights in Lake Bled, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. While Slovenia overall is quite affordable, Lake Bled is a touristy spot, which means food and drinks can feel a bit pricey. The good news is that there are still some cheap eats Lake Bled has to offer. Here’s my top picks so you can easily add them to a google maps list. These spots combined with some trips to the grocery store for picnic bits will get you through your trip to Lake Bled on a budget.
