In 2015, a wave of gourmet burgers began to spread across Slovenia. Žiga Antolin and Klemen Bassanese asked themselves why there were still no good burgers in Kranj, composed according to their taste. They rolled up their sleeves and started making burgers at home. And so Projekt Burger was born.
Once satisfied with the result, they presented the project to people of Kranj and the success story began. At first, Projekt Burger was a modest market stall, later Žiga Antolin and his team moved into a wooden container. It was moved around the city, and then in autumn 2022, it took root in new premises in Jelenčeva Street.
Watching Žiga Antolin as he concentrates on making the buns, it is clear that everything in this Kranj-based project has been meticulously planned. The flour used to knead the buns each day is carefully selected. The beef is Slovenian, the tomatoes too. They make their own sauces.
Projekt Burger was mentioned in the Gault & Millau Slovenia 2021 culinary guide as a POP place.
That’s not all: potatoes are selected from local farmers, then cut, boiled, fried, frozen and then – when a guest orders fries – fried again in the kitchen. You’ll be hard pressed to find such fries anywhere else!
This is how Žiga Antolin looks to the future: “We would like to expand our menu and we want to introduce Kranj to a modern, relaxed steakhouse, where we will roast meat in a hundred and one ways, in addition to burgers.”
