Chef's Restaurant
When castle elegance meets the sea, the result is a culinary experience shaped not only by the plate, but by the setting itself. The castle, transformed many times throughout the centuries, captivates from afar with its majestic Renaissance appearance. It is embraced by a beautiful park and often serves as the venue for weddings, concerts, and other events. In such surroundings, dining takes on a special character: calm, refined, yet still pleasantly relaxed. In the kitchen, this impression is elevated through fresh seasonal ingredients, local herbs, exceptional seafood specialties, and carefully selected meats. The chef emphasises natural flavours and the quality of the ingredients, ensuring that every course of the tasting menu leaves a lasting impression. The starters are light and elegant, while the main courses offer fish, seafood, or locally sourced meat. A chocolate dessert with salted caramel provides a satisfying and graceful conclusion to the meal. The octopus carpaccio is thinly sliced, delicately seasoned, and garnished with pieces of orange, citrus gel, tiny flower petals, and saffron. The roasted monkfish is another excellent choice, accompanied by roasted artichoke and sweet potato purée. All of this is complemented by wines from Primorska winemakers, each glass revealing the richness of the region’s wine heritage. The staff ensures that the experience remains pleasant and relaxed, free from unnecessary formality.
