The Best Restaurants with 3 Falstaff Fork(s) in Istarska županija
The search for creativity never finishes in the gourmet restaurant. Based on ingredients from small local producers, Danijel Dekić's dishes have an international flavour. The menus are available with meat, fish or vegetarian options. Danijel's wife recommends excellent wines to accompany them.
The Monte is the Dekić family's well-known main restaurant, just 30 metres below is the Cave Lab in the former wine cellar. Small and cosy, it can be booked for groups of up to 14 people. The same applies here: the best freshest products from the region, top craftsmanship and highly creative.
The elegant setting above the rooftops of the city is the ideal backdrop for the modern cuisine - based mostly on local ingredients and Istrian flavours, which chef Jeffrey Vella brings to the plate with unparalleled perfection. Service and wines round off the experience.
Dine in style in the beautiful vaulted room with a view of Lone Bay. Fine dining is achieved with seafood cuisine, such as white fish tartare with pea cream or braised octopus on sweet potato puree. Carefully selected wines round off the overall experience.
The all-round indulgence programme appeals to all the senses, with very cosy seating between rough stone walls and an open fireplace. Olive oil, sea salt, crusty bread, tomatoes and top-quality fish and seafood are just a few of the cornerstones of the kitchen line.
The hotel, which is housed in a historic building, is home to a top restaurant. Many of the ingredients, such as the olive oil, are home-grown. Each course of the tasting menu, which is accompanied by Croatian and international wines, is creative and full of flavour.
Every elegant detail is perfectly realised in the romantic country house, surrounded only by idyllic nature. Fine wines from the hotel's own vineyards are paired with the creative dishes. Example: vegetable starter with cashew and black olive powder.
Head chef Pavo Klarić captures the flavours of Istria. He creatively realises traditional dishes and attaches great importance to regionality and sustainability. Fine wines come from the wine cellar. The stone house with its elegant flair offers a sauna and pool - a cosy place to spend the night.
At the southernmost tip of Istria, this small konoba has been synonymous with great fish cuisine for two decades. The composition of the dishes is a testament to class; the appetiser platter is full of flavour and the main act is the fish of the day caught by the chef himself.
Cosy atmosphere with a view of the marina and the sunset. Chef Marina stands for top produce and maximum creativity, focussing on fish and seafood. Depending on the season and market conditions, the tasting menu offers many surprises. Great wine accompaniment!
The house with its beautifully landscaped garden, through which barbecue aromas waft, impresses with its quiet location. The cuisine is down-to-earth yet sophisticated. Don't miss the pasta with white truffles and whole grilled beef. The wine selection is also very good.
Truffle lovers end up in the Zigante family's upmarket restaurant, where new ideas are constantly being created - such as the fried fish with truffle and olive sauce. Great importance is attached to the best local produce, such as olive oil and cured ham, which reflect the Istrian tradition.
This charming hotel, which also houses a very good restaurant, is located in the historic centre of Bale. The best ingredients are used, many of them from the hotel's own garden. Fish, meat or vegetarian - with such intense flavours, it's hard to choose. Top wines!
As soon as the sun shines from the sky, people prefer to sit outside on the promenade. The pampering programme runs all year round: raw fish starters, scampi cream soup, the creamy risotto with porcini mushrooms and prosciutto is delicious. High-quality sparkling wines shimmer in the glass.
Istrian beauty is not only found here in the landscape, but also on the estate and in the classically creative dishes - all based on the best regional organic ingredients. Various prosciutti or steaks are delicious, pasta is served with beef ragout or truffles.
