Croatia continues to shine with its growing number of MICHELIN Stars

"Perched on the seafront promenade of Rovinj’s modern marina, this fine‑dining outpost channels chef Emanuele Scarello’s experience into two no‑a‑la‑carte tasting menus that marry Istria’s best ingredients with a sustainability mindset, all enjoyed on a large terrace with dazzling sea and islet views (and the church of St Euphemia illuminated at night); highlights loved by our inspectors included scampi, spaghetti with sea herbs, barbecued beef with almonds and an excellent lemon risotto with paprika, with sommelier Cristian guiding guests through top Croatian labels by the glass—from fragrant Istrian Malvasia and Dalmatian reds to a sparkling aperitif from Plešivica—for a thoroughly international yet local‑at‑heart experience." - Annalisa Leopolda Cavaleri
