Gault&Millau's review 2026

The name of the inn is no coincidence – the location proudly flirts with the famous wind, which cleans the air and opens up a view of the sea. The inn is housed in a stone house surrounded by a lush garden, and its homely interior conjures up the warmth and authenticity of the Istrian hinterland as soon as you enter. Under the new management, the kitchen remains faithful to the tradition in which land and sea meet. The plates are dominated by produce from the garden, fresh catch from Piran fishermen and top-quality meat from local breeders. The preparation of food is based on respect for basic flavors, where olive oil, salt flower and Mediterranean herbs only emphasize what nature has already created. Each bite carries a part of the local culinary tradition – from homemade fuži or gnocchi with beef or venison goulash to T-bone steak, ombolo and tagliata with baked potatoes and crispy seasonal vegetables. Fresh Adriatic fish and delicious shrimps also have their place. Not even grandma's croquet can be skipped. Crispy butter dough with velvety lemon cream gives the dessert a freshness that pleasantly awakens the taste buds after a rich Istrian meal. The Bura is the right stop for all those who are looking for authentic contact with Istria, its tastes and people – in an environment where time really seems to pass a little slower when the Bura gusts.
