What you will eat
The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Croatian dishes, with an emphasis on quality and balanced portions. For our part, we tried the pljukanci, homemade pasta with wild boar ragout, served with nice slices of grana panado. Even if the meat lacked a little tenderness, we appreciated the flavors of the sauce.

We ended our meal on a sweet note with the tiramisu, served deconstructed with cream, shot coffee and separate cookies. The pace of service is perfect, and we appreciated the simple yet aesthetic presentation of the dishes, accompanied by a variety of pretty crockery.
