Cap Aureo Signature Restaurant

This restaurant undeniably stands as one of Croatia’s best and most beautiful restaurants. My husband and I visited it for the second time and were just as delighted as we were two years ago. We had a 10-course menu with a wine pairing and the food, wine selection, service, ambiance... everything was great. We’re looking forward to come back.

The restaurant will surely be earning its first star soon. Based on all of the 1, 2 and 3 Michelin star restaurants we have eaten at, we have no doubt this one will receive the recognition it deserves. The menu allows a choice of 20 tasting courses. We opted for 10 with the wine flight. We allowed the chef to choose for us, based on some information provided on what we like food wise. The front of house is well rehearsed, acting as one. They maintained a friendly, professional, informative and efficient approach throughout the evening, with nothing being too much trouble. They even prepared a pasta dish for our son with nonalcoholic wine to make sure he was included. Thank you. The sommelier was outstanding. His love and knowledge of Croatian wines was clear. And despite the 10 course wine flight our heads were ok the next day (attributed to the biodynamic approach used across Croatian). The courses were all presented well with an excellent commentary, including suggestions as to the best way to eat them.. personal favourites for us were the corn and lobster courses. Finally, the location of the restaurant, being set within the beautiful grand park hotel, has breath taking views of the town and marina. We will be back on our next trip to the beautiful Rovinj when I expect a star will have made it to the door.

A treat for all the senses, perfect setting, superb service, a sommelier (Andreas) with such an extensive knowledge of local and regional wines took us on a wine journey around Croatia and we just loved it. We were at awe. The menu is somewhat puzzling, a lot of options and you do not know how to approach it. The food was creative, different, few times overcreative - in certain dishes they overplayed their hand- some of the dishes made no sense (e.g. raw Brussels sprouts in a caccio and pepe sauce really to die for - it would make more sense with a local pasta (e.g. pljukanci reinvented)). To sum up, a dinning experience not to be missed if you are a foody and willing to go overboard in terms of cash:-).

Extraordinary and Unforgettable!!! Incredible food, service and setting. Stunning. We had the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing and loved taking a journey through Istiran cuisine with each course and learning something about the heritage and provenance from the really genuinely passionate staff. A night we’ll never forget.

By now we visited the Cap Aureo twice. The first time we enjoyed the large menu, the next time a smaller one. The staff is incredibly courteous and attentive. The compositions of the dishes are a real treat. We also liked the reference to regionality here. The icing on the cake of this culinary journey is the wonderful view of the old town of Ronvinj. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will be back.

Superb dining experience.Mostly vegetable-based but well-executed.The wine pairing was spot on.The sommelier was amazing—friendly and knowledgeable. Service is phenomenal. 🌺must visit ℹ️credit card accepted but bring cash for tip as you cannot add it to the bill

An unforgettable evening. Great service, amazing food. The chef’s selection of 7 dishes was delicious. Special compliments for the sommelier, who not only had great pairings to the dishes, but was also a very cheerful friendly guy.
