For lunch bavette from the seabed or seasonal fuži pasta, and it’s also hard to resist the brodet-style fish soup. For dinner why not leave the choice to the chef, since he’s not exaggerating when he says: “Caught today, prepared today.” Polenta au-gratin, filled with cod, should definitely be alongside.

Oysters

Raw oysters only need lemon and champagne. The oyster on the steam of Malvasia needs even less, so only champagne. It’s that simple.

Pasta

Pasta with canestrels, scampi and prawns.

Fish broth

Fish broth with squid, mussels and cuttlefish and au gratin polenta.

Raviol

But everything, of course, is not just from the sea. Because we are in Istria, asparagus is mandatory in the spring, because we are by the sea, ravioli is still with fish.
