The view of the genuine Istrian environment is also a part of the pleasure, but above all, you will certainly be impressed by our offer.

But above all the master chef never ceases to amaze us. Different flavors, which you would have never thought possible to match, intertwine on the plate and blend into a brand new culinary experience.
