This boutique restaurant is outstanding in every way! Truly one of the best meals of my life 😎 If you like for that puts a smile on your face... Then make it a priority to experience this place...
We booked it for dinner, and we were advised there was a large group booked for that night, too, which I thought very considerate. We decided on a 6-course tasting menu with a fish as main course. However, we were served 8 delicious morsels and...dishes before the main dish, which were all extremely tasty - my personal favourites were nettle-wild garlic-baby spinach soup and homemade gnocchi with capon. The amuse bouche to start was a homegrown olive with their oil and herbs - very minimalistic, but totally on point. We had several glasses of teran and pinot with our meal. The service was polite and well-paced, but not hurried. Lovely atmosphere as dusk settled in, with candles burning in every window. I recommend it to anyone enjoying great food in a romantic and cosy setting. Will return, definitely.More
But probably will not be visiting anytime soon... On sunday I woke up feeling a bit under the weather which later turned out to be rotavirus infection. It wasnt that bad until around 13:00 and we had our reservation at 14:30 so i was already...embarassed to call and cancel but i had no other choice. I called the bistro and after a couple of tries finally a lady picked up, or so o thought. After explaining, in my already pretty weak state, that unfortunately we couldn't make it on account of me being sick she just snarkily replied that people wait weeks for a table there and that it is because of sh***y people like me changing their mind last minute that ate ruining the experience for others... I suggested if i could come anyway and projectile vomit on their tables while paintint their floor with a fresh brown hue, but she kindly declined and threw down the phone before i could even remotely explain the situation... So there goes the hospitality and humanity✌️More
We had a great time! Delicious food, very friendly staff, great location, lovely atmosphere, great view.
A nice retreat from the drizzling winter rain. The bistro windows overlook the access to to the hill on which this picturesque medieval village is located but you need to order food in order to get access to these tables. Our drinks were ok, the...place has been restored just right and if the weather cooperated it'd be perfect.More
We had 3 course lunch. Everything was delicious, you can see the family is really trying to make the best experience for you, everyone is really nice and polite. They use local ingredients, 10/10.
I had lunch during the 'week of restaurants' as we were lucky enough to get a table just a couple days before. The place was packed but the waiters were still nice and made sure we were served on time. We decided to choose a...wine selection and desert on top of the 'regular' menu and it was a good choice. We had 9 course-lunch with 4 different wines in between. Each plate was perfectly prepared with the most amazing tastes combined in unique experience.More
We had a spontaneous romantic lunch here and it was super delicious. Also the place is really beautiful and the staff is more than friendly! Recommend 100%!
The restaurant is located inside of the Štanjel castle. The ambient magical and it blends with the castle structure perfectly. The presonnel, leading with Gaja, gave us unique insight in to food and drinks we were consuming. No words needed for the taste part, it...was very delicious. Thanks to the team, highly recommend!More
I couldn't have asked for a better entry into a culinary fairy tale. The magical service and food took me to the castles of authentic Kras tradition. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
The family team have created a wonderful menu in a pretty hilltop castle courtyard, with fairy lights. There are a few tables inside overlooking the stunning, rolling countryside - a little warm on a summer evening so we chose the courtyard. The menu is all...local and seasonal; we had the 6 course degustation. Highlights were silky pasta filled with local cheese and wild herbs, citrusy tartar, aged prosciutto which melted in the mouth, sea bass with samphire and peas, wild rabbit with peas and barley, risotto with local tomatoes and creamy desserts made with local fruits and yoghurt. All dishes were beautifully balanced and seasoned. The sommelier recommended two incredibly good wines - one honeyed with elderflower and peach overtones; the other drier and more citrusy. They were both delicious and incredibly reasonably priced. Front of house were very attentive, friendly and obviously passionate about the produce, cooking and entertaining. There were guests at smartly laid tables and also those enjoying a glass of wine at casual tables at the edge of the courtyard - all very relaxed in ambience. It was such a lovely evening.More
The service is very kind. The Restaurant is so aesthetic and the atmosphere is great. Also it is a family business that makes it even more likeable. The food is excellent and made with good practice! It’s lovely.
A really beautiful restaurant. The service is really friendly. The place is very cozy and nice. You’re in the middle of a castle, I was there in the evning and the mood was so great. The Food was delicious, I would recomend it to everyone...who likes regional food, special And fresh flavors. The dishes weren prepared so carfully and nicely. I specially liked the desert, it was an Ice with yougurt and berries. The fish was so nice and soft. Really nice restaurant👍🏻More
Really good food, made from domestic ingredients, innovative drinks and friendly staff. A bit pricy, but worth every penny.
