This romantic hotel-restaurant occupies an elegant stone building in a typical small Istrian village just a few kilometres from the sea. Take a seat in what was once the wine cellar or outdoors on the summer terrace, where you’ll enjoy well-crafted, creative dishes that are full of flavour and made from top-quality local, seasonal ingredients, with a choice of meat and fish dishes, as well as a 5-course vegetarian menu. In autumn, the menu is enhanced by delicacies such as truffles, mushrooms and game. Guided tastings of the restaurant’s own extra-virgin olive oil can be enjoyed in the oil bou

Although a few meat dishes feature on the menu, it is fish and seafood that has cemented this restaurant’s reputation. Its dishes are traditionally prepared with an emphasis on simplicity in order to allow the quality of the fish to shine through. Scampi features widely, while the “Badi” soup, breaded sea bass and various “na buzaru” dishes (stewed in white wine with parsley, garlic and breadcrumbs) are among the house specialities.

Situated in the green heart of Istria, this long-established, family-run hotel-restaurant boasts a welcoming dining room plus an attractive summer terrace looking out at the countryside. The regional cuisine served here closely follows the seasons, with game, mushrooms and truffles making an appearance in autumn, and vegetables and fresh cheeses in spring. Throughout the year, you can enjoy delicious Istrian hams and homemade pasta, including the tasty asparagus-filled ravioli served with grilled asparagus.
