Five gastronomic signatures for your list
Travelling through Istria remains in the mind thanks to its scenery, as well as for a series of precisely crafted flavours. In restaurants in Rovinj, locally sourced ingredients, seasonality, and varying creative signatures blend together, interpreting Istrian and Mediterranean cuisine in a contemporary manner. Cap Aureo, Agli Amici Rovinj, Tekka by Lone, Riva Lounge and Adriatic Brasserie are among them.
The sea, the forest and Istria’s fertile interior provide chefs with a wide range of ingredients, from fish and shellfish to truffles, olive oil and seasonal vegetables. When all of the aforementioned is joined by thoughtful techniques, precise service and attention paid to every detail, each of these restaurants weaves its own story about the same area.
Located in the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj, Cap Aureo brings offers an innovative approach to food and is the holder of the prestigious Michelin star. Chef Jeffrey Vella constructs his menu around seasonality, locality, and taking a creative approach to vegetables. Many of the offered courses alter according to the microclimate and the availability of fresh ingredients. Agli Amici, the holder of two Michelin stars, is located nearby. It combines the signature dishes of chef Emanuele Scarello with local and seasonal ingredients.
Tekka by Lone, a restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide, brings together traditional Japanese techniques with Istrian and Mediterranean ingredients. In Hotel Lone’s green garden, or alternatively within its designer interior, sushi, sashimi and nigiri take on local accents, without losing the precision that defines Japanese cuisine.
The Riva Lounge is located in the Adults Only Hotel Monte Mulini, which is also a restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide. Italian style, Istrian soul and Mediterranean rhythm form the menu of local delicacies and dishes intended for sharing, from pljukanci (hand-rolled Istrian pasta) with truffles to fish platters. In the case of more intimate occasions, the same story continues in the more exclusive setting of Riva Privée.
The French-inspired Adriatic Brasserie in the very heart of Rovinj rounds off this offer. A different perspective on the destination’s gastronomy is provided by each of these restaurants, leaving enough room to choose an experience that suits the occasion, company, and rhythm of the day.
The concierge team is at your disposal for detailed information about restaurant concepts, as well as for choosing a venue according to the occasion.
