Monte’s cuisine

Chef Danijel Đekić builds his culinary expression on seasonality, local produce, and a bold interpretation of the Istrian terroir. Each dish functions as a small composition—a balance of flavours, textures, and colours that weave into an experience closer to an artistic performance than a classic tasting menu.

Radiating warmth and modern elegance, Monte offers a dining experience that consistently exceeds expectations. As the first Croatian restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star, it remains a symbol of creativity, dedication and top-tier gastronomy.
