City Terasa

Visiting experience -House of Adriatic Cuisine (2025)

Gaze at the Drava river and the Pohorje mountains and order something from the sea! When it comes to fish, first take a look at how wild, big and shiny they are, and as for the lobster, you can just pull them out of the large pool yourself! City Terasa specialises in what others only take pictures of.
