This is a place with the most beautiful view, very tasty food and friendly staff. We tried leek soup, traditional pasta with truffles and chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Everything was amazing! I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Motovun :)

Highlight of our trip to Croatia! Absolutely wonderful family-run restaurant in Motovun. The food was all local, fresh, and incredibly delicious, paired with amazing house wine and the most gorgeous views. The service was warm and genuinely friendly — the best we’ve had in Croatia so far. We loved it so much we’d come back to Motovun just to eat here again. Truly unforgettable and highly recommended!

While visiting Motovun we came by for lunch. Although this venue is a bit more expensive, it's not overpriced. And the standards are higher, so well worth to pay a bit extra. We all had some nice dishes, of course with truffle. A very nice pork lion with truffle, vegetables and potatoes. Really enjoyed it!

I ordered the Istrian steak with polenta and i cant describe it in words how good it was the steak was cooked for 6 hours and was very tender and the sauce was the perfect topper to it(Of course you did not need to wait 6 hours for your order to come). Everything actually came pretty fast. The staff where very nice and the atmosphere was amazing. Very worth it!
