Pri Mari

Our accommodation was on the ground floor with an entrance directly from the street. It was modest but cozy and equipped with everything we needed, including a drying rack for swimsuits. It also had air conditioning. What was great was that the room was just a few steps from the beach by the sea—literally, you only had to cross the street. Communication with the owners was excellent; they were very kind and accommodating. At the restaurant right next door, which they own and run, we truly enjoyed ourselves. They offer excellent dishes made from fresh fish and seafood. The accommodation is located in a zone where parking is no longer allowed unless you are a local. However, the parking garage was just a few minutes away by an easy path. The same goes for the town center, just a short walk away. We left absolutely satisfied. Thank you!

Possibly the best restaurant in Piran. Local fish and sea food along with fresh products make Mara's dishes a treat. Everything is absolutely delicious, especially when accompanied with Slovenian wine. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is decorated with fish, fishing gears and items, as well as all the many praises and prices they received over the years. It's a must stop in Piran.

When we travel (often) I spend a lot of time researching to find unique and special spots for dinner serving great food without pretense; not easy. Pri Mari is exactly the type of place we enjoy. It’s not very big and quite simple in terms of atmosphere. There’s no amazing seaside view but what it does have in abundance is fresh well prepared seafood and other local dishes. We began our meal by sharing a bowl of steaming pasta with fresh shavings of black truffles-delicious. For the main, fresh grilled whole fish, Branzino, for two which was expertly filleted table side and served with some sautéed spinach and potatoes. We shared a bottle of local white wine recommended by the server as well, which like the wine across Europe was very reasonably priced. Food was fantastic as was the chocolate (mousse) tart we had to finish off. The only knock is the lack of AC-even on a cooler day the small space can feel a bit close, so dress in lightweight clothing and you’ll be just fine. Absolutely superb overall and special spot oozing local-ness.

Fantastic place, I cannot recommend it enough. We had smoked tuna carpaccio, fish soup, fuži with spiced calamari, and what can only be described as a mountain of fresh seafood. Indulged in panna cotta and a bottle of house wine (they have it labelled as Pri Mari). Worth taking a detour from any journey in this region.

Usually it is very difficult to find table so book in advance. We visited twice, first time great calamari grilled and fried with potatoes. The other time we tried also mixed fish plate - fish was amazing! Fish soup was ok, average for me. Orada carpaccio amazing as well.

Wonderful restaurant! It has won awards for its cuisine and more than lives up to its reputation. It's a bit hidden, but if you like good food, you should definitely stop by there.

The food and atmosphere was amazing. We had fried calamari and turbot. Both dishes were delicious.

Excellent restaurant! Reserve. Everything fresh and tasty. The batter was too thick on fritto misto di mare. Everything else was simply delicious.
