Tastes of Istria

Foods that write their own story

„He who wants to truly experience and understand this land, should not read books about it, but should … eat!“

This old Istrian wisdom rings ever so true. The local cuisine is heavily based on tradition and local ingredients.  Top chefs know how to combine all this with healthy Mediterranean cuisine. Imagine these juicy, colourful and varied dishes making you crave for more.

Our cuisine is based on local natural products, the highlight of which are salt, olives, fresh fruits and vegetables, rich wines and other delicious gifts from the sea and the hinterland. To top it all off, we are happy to add a pinch of indigenous Mediterranean spices and condiments.

Explore and enjoy masterpieces of flavours, found anywhere from prestigious restaurants to exquisite local inns with a rustic touch. They can’t wait for you to discover them!
