Gault&Millau's review 2026

In the heart of Slovenia’s largest marina, where the scents of the sea, salt, and sunshine intertwine, stands a restaurant that is far more than merely a stop for sailors. The spacious terrace invites guests to enjoy the maritime air and views of sailboats, while the refined interior provides comfort for intimate dinners, business meetings, or elegant celebrations. A true maritime exoticism appears in the marinated sea bass with passion fruit and mango. On the plate, outstanding local ingredients meet the chef’s creativity in a dish that feels light, fresh, and contemporary. The scampi soup is velvety smooth, filled with natural sweetness and minerality, free from unnecessary additions that might overshadow the star ingredient. The delicate scampi meat is only lightly cooked, preserving its juiciness and aroma. The roasted sea bass impresses with its exceptionally pure flavour and perfectly judged cooking, leaving the flesh juicy and firm beneath a delicately golden surface. It is served on a silky carrot purée whose natural sweetness beautifully complements the elegance of the fish, accompanied by crisp roasted baby potatoes and carrots. It is a proven classic that effortlessly wins over its guests. The culinary journey at Marina Portorož is completed by an extensive wine selection - thoughtfully paired to highlight the essential flavours of each dish and bring the entire experience into harmonious balance.
