This high quality restaurant is of a unique and distinguished nature. Chef Emanuele Scarello has created three tasting menus: Godia, Istria and Rovinj. The use of the best produce is important, sustainability has a very high priority.
For a Caribbean feeling in a luxury resort, you no longer need to go overseas, the island of Brač can do that just as well. The cuisine of Ante Udovičić is accordingly upscale. Sea urchins, oysters and Brač lamb are served with excellent wines.
The flowery terrace has flair, and the staff is extremely attentive. Rudolf Štefan, who pays close attention to the provenance of the produce, provides very special gastronomic delights. The tasting menu has its price, but is worth every euro.
One of the most creative cuisines in Istria of the highest quality. Danijel Dekić combines fresh, regional market produce with a fine hand. You choose from three menus, one of which revolves around lobster, one is vegetarian. Danijel's wife Tjitske provides the best wines.
Located in the countryside with a view of the sea is this gem of fine dining. In the kitchen, the young chef Luka Goleš creates the finest Mediterranean cuisine, putting into play both the ingredients and the flavours of another era. Excellent wine pairings.
Danijel Dekić set milestones with Monte, and with Cave Lab he plays in the same gourmet league. The focus is on six top regional products, each served in three different ways as part of a six-course menu through to dessert.
A story between land and sea is written by the superbly composed dishes served on the fifth floor of the hotel. Fish cooked to perfection. Chef Jeffrey Vella is also very fond of seasonal vegetables. The wine list is comprehensive.
The beautiful heritage hotel scores with its unique bay location. Elegantly set tables, the cooking is without frills, but of a high quality. The scallops with celery cream and walnut oil are particularly delicious. The fruit tarts and cakes are also top-notch.
Nestled within the city's fortress walls, the restaurant's view is probably one of the most beautiful in the country. The wine list offers some 500 wines, while Marijo Curić conjures up delicacies such as scallop tartare with kohlrabi mousse, yuzu gel and tarragon oil.
In the top hotel, you dine under candlelit chandeliers in the polished vaulted ceiling. The cuisine is French-influenced, but the ingredients come from the region. There are courses like beetroot risotto with beetroot confit and goat cheese. Wine cellar with 250 labels.
