Beštija

"In the inner courtyard of a building in the town centre is this simply styled bistro, frequented by a young and varied clientele, which is also reflected in the background music with a "cool" feel. The culinary offerings are not extensive (as is the wine list, offset, however, by a small selection of cocktails), and are based on market ingredients and local produce. Both meat and fish dishes on the menu are Mediterranean-inspired, designed to enhance taste and a certain indulgence." - Michelin Inspector
