Our kitchen respects the rhythm of the seasons, embracing the authentic flavors that nature provides year-round.

Our terrace is the perfect place for this, offering breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea with the Alps in the background. So sit back and enjoy—spuntini in one hand, a glass of your favorite drink in the other.
CHEF
A FAMILIAR FACE FROM TELEVISION
Leading our passionate young team is Chef Marko Gorela. Despite his youth, he is already an accomplished and highly acclaimed chef. He honed his craft in prestigious restaurants along the Slovenian coast and has earned numerous international awards and accolades.
Additionally, Marko is a well-known face on Slovenian television, having been a finalist on the reality show Gostilna išče šefa (The Tavern Seeks Its Chef). However, despite his many triumphs and successes, he remains convinced that the best chef in the world is still—his mother.
