"The resort's most luxurious hotel was designed in 1912 by Austrian architect Alfred Keller. The property's gourmet restaurant is now named after him, whose terrace offers a splendid view of Čikat Bay, an ideal setting for a fine dining experience. In the kitchen, Austrian chef Michael Gollenz enhances the best local ingredients with modern and creative dishes that are always balanced in taste and harmony. The technical base is French, but there is no shortage of international influences. Along with a small à la carte selection, tasting menus are offered in the evening. Among the most interesting dishes is the scallop with kohlrabi, hazelnut and pineapple, served with a buttermilk vinaigrette, lemon juice and herb oil – a technically complex dish executed with great precision." - Michelin Inspector

In the tranquil embrace of Čikat Bay, the Alfred Keller Restaurant - Alhambra Hotel offers a dining experience that seamlessly blends the art of fine cuisine with the stunning natural beauty of its surroundings. Michelin-starred chef Michael Gollenz prepares sophisticated creative creations, drawing upon the finest local ingredients blended with refined global influences, resulting in Michael's distinguished signature cooking. The dishes are a testimony to his culinary mastery. Each plate is a harmonious expression of infinite technique and creativity, with flavors that are delicate yet profound. The Tuna Tartare is a striking example - its freshness elevated by a subtle balance of seasonings, allowing the quality of the fish to speak for itself. The fresh Seabass, beautifully grilled and paired with lemon fregola sarda and island herbs, is a sublime representation of the region’s maritime bounty, while the Bouillabaisse is a aromatic homage to the sea - its depth and complexity unfolding with every bite. The Scampi Thai Ceviche offers a captivating contrast of heat and sweetness, a perfect example of how Michael marries tradition with innovation, a unique firework of flavours. The service under Anton's leadership and Anthony’s attentive support, transformed the dinner into a wonderful experience. Anton’s approach is both relaxed and precise, with professional confidence, offering insights into the nuances of the menu. The restaurant itself offers an elegant yet relaxed setting, with sweeping views of Čikat Bay. Seated on the terrace, only meters from the water, the beauty of the surroundings enhances the sense of serenity, creating a perfect atmosphere for an evening of fine dining. Chef Gollenz’s Michelin-starred talents created a dining experience that is memorable and transcendent - an exemplary reflection of the very best that Lošinj has to offer.

Everything was beyond beautiful here... The servers were very accommodating and kind. I've picked and tasted The Signature Menu... The food was very appealing to the eye and very pleasant tasting. I enjoyed the scampi tartare the most. The way the chefs combine the different flavours to make a complete dish was amazing to experience. Their wine pairings were especially pleasing to see. All in all I'd consider this restaurant and the dining experience the absolute zenith of culinary and service arts!

It was an amazing experience. My wife and me had a 5 course manu dinner and every course was so tasty. Best restaurant in the region for sure

Great experience, super good food. Just be aware that other guests are smoking around you, which unfortunately are putting an end to the fine delicate taste that the chef Michael brings forward in the food. For the perfect experience, ask for a non smoking area, if you consider going here.

This is a very nice restaurant with relaxing outdoor terrace, good view and lovely ambiance. Very professional staff. Had the innovation menu which started off excellent. Beautifully presented and plated tasty bites. Pretty good raw fish. Very nice goose liver and tasty rombo filet. We were not too impressed with the beef short rib, neither the overal taste nor cocophony of herbs as we found it out of balance with dill overpowering it all. Nice deserts. This is a very good place but expected just a bit more.

#1 Restaurant on the Island! An absolute must-visit! Marko is an exceptionally professional and polite waiter, making our experience even more enjoyable. Chef M. Gollenz delivers incredibly tasty dishes — every bite was a delight. The value for money is outstanding. We’ll definitely be back soon to visit and review again.

I am a coffee lover and this was the only place in Losinj where I could have a decent coffee. This is a high end Michelin star restaurant with a lovely ambiance, beautiful view and good quality service. There is a nice lounge where you can enjoy a peaceful moment either with the family or as a couple. A nice touch of the place is the relaxing background music.

An exceptional service with unbelievably tasty food, and a very pleasant atmosphere. You could tell, the signature wine pairing menu was tailored for a warm summer evening with refreshing and lightly spiced ingredients, and the wine was carefully picked to complement every bite. Overall 10/10.
