Get to know the diverse flavours of the Mediterranean: fish and shellfish from the Slovenian sea, tomatoes from the southern slopes of Vesuvius, olive oil, basil and oregano, cheese, fleur de sel from the Sečovlje salt pans, as well as homemade pasta and Istrian truffles, char-grilled steaks, delicious desserts and cocktails.

In this part of the Strunjan coastline, Istria, with its wonderful view out onto the sea and the skyline of Piran, has a unique and authentic flavour.  A flavour that you will remember.

The best ingredients from a healthy Mediterranean environment, which are then carefully prepared, ensure our dishes are full of flavour. This is only added to by the charming location of the Pinija restaurant, situated right by the sea, offering a pleasant ambiance, aromatic air and the most beautiful sunsets.

The Neapolitan pizza is a culinary masterpiece that that was awarded UNESCO intangible cultural heritage status in 2017.

At Pinija we make this speciality pizza following a fixed set of steps and according to the highest standards of quality, using ingredients that have been awarded Protected Designation of Origin status such as San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino tomatoes, Fior di latte dei Monti Lattari cheese and Campana buffalo mozzarella.

Our restaurant is named after the trees in the unique avenue of 110 pine trees that line both sides of the road. It is a natural monument that expresses a warm welcome to everyone who visits Strunjan.

The avenue is a symbol of Strunjan, which is why we incorporated it into the Pinija restaurant logo.
