Drawing on traditional recipes, San Rocco serves creative Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist. The chef works with seasonal and locally-grown products that are typical for Istria, such as truffles, mushrooms, freshly caught Adriatic fish, ham, game, and herbs. The restaurant offers 6- or 7-course tasting menus, which vary according to the season. One of their most popular dishes is the potato cream with black truffles, on a bed of blackfish. As well as the homemade tortellini with Istrian oxen meat. Expect tasty traditional Croatian dishes, mostly prepared in an Istrian-style wood-fired oven. Next to their Istrian specialties and refined selection of local wines, San Rocco also offers a vast array of Istrian olive oils. Each seasonal menu comes with a recommendation on which olive oil to use with the dish of your choice. Good to know: the restaurant organizes wine tastings as well as olive oil tastings.
