Kings of the Adriatic – from the sea straight to your plate
We specialize in fresh fish, scampi, lobster, and shellfish, delivered daily from the Kvarner Bay. Experience the aromas and flavors of authentic Mediterranean cuisine in its purest form.
Did you know? Kvarner scampi have been named the most delicious in the world!
Boškarin – the meat legend of Krk and Istria
Our menu is enriched with specialties made from Boškarin, the indigenous cattle breed of Krk and Istria. Tenderloin, cheeks, stews, and more – all prepared slowly and carefully, using traditional recipes.
Truffles & Homemade Pasta – Istrian gold on your plate
Fresh Istrian black summer truffles are delivered directly by local truffle hunters and served with handmade šurlice pasta, ravioli filled with local cheeses and tagliatelle prepared with our original recipe. Every bite is a perfect balance of flavor, texture, and aroma – with no compromises.
Desserts that take you back to childhood
Our desserts are homemade, with no industrial creams, additives, or powders. Each cake and cream is crafted like grandma used to make – with love and patience.
