A terrace on the coast with a beautiful Koper sunset, a hotel dining room with the most attractive restaurant in Koper, and a glass promenade pizzeria with (arguably) the best pizza in Koper. Restavracija Capra is the main star of the modern hotel, which has once again become the centre of this modern coastal city, therefore the hotel isn’t just for tourists in the same way that Capra isn’t just a hotel restaurant. Whether it’s crispy sardines with a goat cheese filling or a fish ritual that is associated with the sea, holiday and comfort, your visit should definitely end with desserts that bear distant names but will be so familiar to you.

Olive grove

In the elegant dining room, the ‘marble’ tables do not need tablecloths, but that is why they are separated from breakfast with fine plates. On the terrace, whitewash separates the restaurant from the pizzeria; and the fine tablecloths are separated from the classics by bottles of olive oil with Capra’s logo.
