Gault&Millau's review 2026

The beauty of the Brda landscape reveals all its charms at this idyllic homestead, where guests can also spend the night. Surrounded by vineyards and a fragrant lemon tree, it is easy to surrender to the pleasure of a glass of their excellent wine on the terrace, while enticing aromas soon drift from the kitchen. The daily menu is short, handwritten in chalk on a small board, yet no less promising for it. Traditional Brda dishes enriched with touches of the sea shine in a creative, contemporary interpretation, while the flavours remain harmonious and irresistibly inviting. As a welcome bite, they serve seasonal figs and melon embraced by slices of guanciale, all refreshed with homemade tzatziki. The daily soup, crafted by experienced hands, is enriched with cubes of swordfish, sun-dried tomatoes, and homemade parsley-infused olive oil. Kabaj’s homemade gnocchi with sausage never fail to impress - toasted cottage cheese dumplings scented with marjoram bathe in a luxurious ragout of homemade sausage and vegetables. For the main course, the English roast beef is a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Juicy slices of meat are artfully arranged into a rose shape and served with onion purée, Swiss chard, and a reduced red wine sauce that practically demands another bite. And then comes the sweet finale - a chocolate soufflé infused with orange liqueur and caramel. A masterpiece.
