Kogo

Regional Cuisine

€€

Set slightly apart from the centre but easily reached by car, Kogo – “cook” in the Istrian dialect – welcomes guests in a modern and carefully finished setting: to the right of the entrance lies the elegant wine shop, to the left the restaurant, with its contemporary lines and design accents. The cuisine, firmly anchored in tradition, is presented with a current approach: alongside a generous selection of local and non-local charcuterie and cheeses, meat dishes predominate, with occasional forays into seafood. A sound wine list, available on tablet, completes the offering.

Regional Cuisine, Grills

€€

The open grill at this restaurant is a regular feature, delighting guests with a wide array of top-quality meat dishes. From Tomahawk to chops, and fillets to picanha steak (the meat is sourced locally, as well as from further afield), the quality is always excellent, while the service is quick yet friendly and discreet. The large picture windows boast fine views of the surrounding hills, giving guests the pleasant sensation of dining outdoors. There’s also a second dining room with a cosy, minimalist feel, which is perfect for winter evenings. Local, seasonal ingredients take centre stage her
