Immigrants bring with them characteristic dishes of their native cusine.
Influences are numerous.
The basic cuisine in Maribor is Central European or Viennese. However, there has been a noticeable influence in Maribor of eastern cuisine, as well as Dalmatian, Italian, and Hungarian. In spite of these manifold influences, the local cuisine of Maribor and, above all, the native dishes from the Slovenske Gorice vineyard hills and the Prlekija region, manage to assert themselves. It should be noted at the outset that the local culinary style is to enhance its dishes with cream. For example, cream is used in Styrian cream soup, in pork sour soup, and in mushroom soup.
