Trivia
Interesting facts and delightful tidbits about Istria's rich culinary heritage.
Perfect for foodies and wine lovers curious about the tastes of Istria!
Istrian Pasta
The oldest known recipe for pasta was written in China, 2000 BCE.
According to this recipe, pasta was made from wheat flour, eggs and water, and it was served with poultry. This fact is not very well known today, even though pasta is one of the most important symbols of Mediterranean cuisine - and thus of Istrian cuisine as well.
Peasant life in old Istria was most greatly marked by cuisine and dishes that have been prepared on the peninsula since ancient times. Of these original dishes, an important place has always been held by traditional Istrian pasta, which changed its form and name on the way from Italy to Istria.
Made with white flour, a pinch of salt, a bit of water, and sometimes a home-raised egg, Istrian pasta was made then as it is today - with great skill and lots of love.
Istrian Autochthonous Wines
Istrian wine is a poetry of taste and fragrance.
It is an inseparable part of the Istrian man, his passion and love, his deepest intimacy and most open pride, a lavish gift from the rocky land and abundant sunshine.
The history of wine and of the local people is an inseparable story which has lasted over 2000 years, since the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius brought vines to the warm Istrian soil.
From the golden Malvasia (IQ) to the ruby Teran, from young light wines coloured by the autumn to the full and elegant flavours of ripe barriques, Istrian wines offer a multi-layered story that has just started to be discovered.
Istrian Truffle
The Black Diamond of Istria.
In the hinterlands of Istria, among the dark, dense forests surrounding the medieval towns of Motovun and Buzet, deep in the clay, an underground truffle mecca can be found.
These are some of the richest grounds for uncovering the black diamond of Istria, better known as the truffle.
There is yet another interesting fact about Istria. This is where a local caterer and truffle hunter, and his dog, dug up one of the largest truffles ever found weighing 1.31 kg, on 2 November 1999 not far from Buje.
The Guinness World Records listed this truffle as the largest in the world.

Derya Akman
It was our first time here and I can only recommend it.
Great service, very friendly staff, very good food.
Günter Steinadler
The food was excellent, and the service was very attentive.
Beautiful location right on the water.
Prices are a bit steep, though. It's worth it if you're there.
The charcoal grill gave the calamari a great flavor.
I find it a bit inappropriate when the waiter smokes in full view of the guests.
Alexander Henn
The food was delicious, it was definitely worth it even though the portions were quite small.
I recommend it because the atmosphere, place and service were great.
Mixarz Gier

Very friendly staff.
Highly recommended!
Frank Ratert
The restaurant has enough tables and a large terrace.
The service was nice and fast.
We had calamari for which we waited about 10 minutes.
The food was tasty, but the portions were smaller, especially the ligne on the grill, and the side dish was small!
More expensive, but overall we rate it positively and recommend it!
