Gault&Millau's review 2026

Local stone, characteristic wooden shutters, and an enclosed courtyard sheltered from the powerful bora wind create the image of an authentic Karst homestead, deeply connected to both place and tradition. This philosophy continues onto the plate, where the chef confidently builds a bridge between Karst heritage and the Istrian hinterland. Local ingredients are transformed with a strong sense of aesthetics, harmonious colours, and flavours that are both intense and beautifully balanced. A warm, crusty sourdough loaf is delicious alongside butter and a foie gras spread, while the salmon gravlax is cured with beetroot. A wasabi cream brings sharpness, while yogurt ice cream adds refreshing lightness. The red ravioli, coloured with beetroot, conceal a rich goat cheese filling, while a beet glaze gives them a glossy appearance and rounded sweetness. Sea bass fillet rests on a rich lemon butter sauce, accompanied by homemade mini gnocchi. Succulent pork belly is slowly cooked at low temperature and served with a silky celery purée whose root-like freshness beautifully complements the dish. Dehydrated kale contributes crisp texture and gentle bitterness, while fermented black walnut ties the flavours together. Through the chef’s personal interpretation and carefully selected wine pairings, the entire menu tells the story of two landscapes - the Karst and Istria - united in a new and unforgettable experience.
