"Chef Jeffrey Vella's cuisine stands out for its strong personality, attentive appreciation of the local area, and the use of selected raw materials sourced within a 50 km radius. Its guiding thread naturally connects the flavors of coastal Croatia with the intense aromas of the hinterland. The menu, which the chef describes as a true "journey," guides guests through seasonal delicacies with tasting courses of varying lengths, allowing diners the freedom to craft their own gastronomic experience. Among the recommended dishes are the monkfish with mushroom sauce and the lamb – extremely tender, it melts in the mouth – served with a delightful fava bean-based condiment. The wine list is well-curated and structured: on one side, traditional labels, predominantly Croatian, and on the other, the "vintage cellar," a selection of great international crus from exceptional vintages, designed for true connoisseurs. The service is elegant yet informal, instantly putting guests at ease. The view over the old town crowns a truly high-level gastronomic experience." - Michelin Inspector
