"Boasting a central location just a few minutes’ walk from the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, this is the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the capital; MICHELIN inspectors call it “a restaurant on the crest of a wave, with internationally inspired decor acting as a backdrop for superb dishes created by Goran Kocis, a prominent figure in the Illyrian gastronomic scene, who – while retaining his position as owner of the Noel – has recently handed over the reins in the kitchen to Bruno Vokal”. The talented young chef, with experience in a Michelin-starred restaurant in Dubrovnik, now leads the kitchen as executive chef, pursuing modern, imaginative and carefully considered cuisine that highlights top-quality local ingredients through two tasting menus (four or seven courses), featuring Strukli with Istrian truffles; white fish with beans, yuzu and clarified butter; pork with cloves and cabbage; and desserts like chocolate with porcini mushrooms and hazelnuts; the wine selection that accompanies each dish or menu is described as unsurpassed in Croatia." - Le Guide MICHELIN
