Gault&Millau's review 2026

Kamin focuses on what convinces most effortlessly: the sea, excellent ingredients, and a view that makes you want to linger at the table just a little longer. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a leisurely lunch or dinner without any sense of rush. The menu is rooted in fish and Istrian classics, yet enriched with just the right amount of creativity and contemporary flair. Freshness, local ingredients, and the house extra virgin olive oil with protected geographical origin take center stage. Among the cold starters, the trio of bakalar stands out - an outstanding classic. The crudo selection with scampi, sea bass, and tuna, complemented by sea urchin cream and caviar, feels fresh, pure, and elegant. Tuna tartare with wasabi and avocado impresses with precisely balanced contrasts. The warm dishes offer an abundance of flavour: narrow noodles with seafood are richly satisfying, as are the fuži with truffles. Seafood lovers will be especially delighted by the black risotto with shellfish or the seafood risotto, while special occasions call for the luxurious selection of fresh fish, scampi, and seafood platters for two. Polenta plays a beautiful dual role here - accompanying the Belvedere-style fish stew and appearing grilled alongside octopus from the grill. Even the meat section of the menu, including beef tagliata and steak, never fades into the background, while sweet bites provide the perfect finishing touch to the evening.
