Hiša Torkla

"The open grill at this restaurant is a regular feature, delighting guests with a wide array of top-quality meat dishes. From Tomahawk to chops, and fillets to picanha steak (the meat is sourced locally, as well as from further afield), the quality is always excellent, while the service is quick yet friendly and discreet. The large picture windows boast fine views of the surrounding hills, giving guests the pleasant sensation of dining outdoors. There’s also a second dining room with a cosy, minimalist feel, which is perfect for winter evenings. Local, seasonal ingredients take centre stage here, such as asparagus, which is served with fuzi pasta and scampi or grilled as a side dish, and truffles, which feature in a number of dishes, including deliciously creamy mashed potatoes." - Michelin Inspector

The MICHELIN Guide Slovenia: Culinary creativity of Slovenian Istria!

"Set amid the Slovenian hills in the heart of Korte, this friendly, welcoming restaurant frames meadows and natural landscapes through large picture windows and often hosts groups of friends and families—especially on Sundays—who come for a peaceful countryside day out. A large fireplace anchors a dining room lined with warm‑toned, photo‑covered walls, while since last spring chef Gradimir Dimitric has brought his culinary vision to this iconic address, aiming to surprise guests and draw visitors from the city and beyond. The seasonal menu focuses on local ingredients (plus produce from nearby Italy) and cooking over the grill, including meat roasted over a beechwood fire. Specialities include duck breast marinated for two weeks in Refosco wine with duck crackling, beans, soy and Madeira sauce, and home‑made fuži pasta served with white truffles or pumpkin oil and steak; seafood fans can expect raw Adriatic shrimp with a lime and blueberry syrup and cod paired with warm home‑made bread and local olive oil." - Sarah Scaparone
