Not so many choices and bathroom is very unsanitary, but after all I must say I enjoyed the food, we didn’t wait long.I didn’t like were it took place, next to the road.

Lovely setting. Greeted by a folklore group who sang and danced throughout our stay. Group participation was tremendous which led to a splendid atmosphere. After a fiery apéro, the food presented was copious. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A great lunchtime!

We went there for lunch and had to wait quite a while. The reason was that everything was made fresh. It was well worth the wait. Fantastic Burger and also the other meals tasted nice and well prepared.

Drove past this restaurant a few times en route to our villa without noticing it but looks very modern and quaint. Whole family went there for a meal and we were so glad we did. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The menu has English underneath so easy to ascertain what you want (highly recommend the steaks).There were children’s food options on the menu which was great for our two children. The food was good sized portions and extremely tasty. The meat is locally sourced and the desserts are all homemade, even the ice cream. Will be back again before we leave.Thank you very much for the nice review. We are so happy you enjoyed your visit at 2. PERON. All the best!

This is a great find , it's rustic and has a local client base. We had a fantastic meal , the portions are substantial I brought mine home as I only managed to eat half of the delicious truffle and cream pasta .The bill was more than reasonable and we will be visiting again , before our holiday ends

Agroturizam Ograde

Reviewed By jinox

No visit to Croatia is complete without a traditional "peka" (at least that's the name in the south, I think it may have a different one in Istria, probably with fewer vowels). A classic dish of meat (typically veal or chicken, occasionally octopus) and potatoes, cooked under an iron dome with hot coals shoved on top for several hours. And if you're in Istria, Ograde seems like one of the best places to find it. You'll need to book at least a day ahead, and preferably take a group of 6 or more to get the full experience. The place is nestled at the end of a windy, leafy lane - on the way in you'll pass a couple of cute little holiday homes, which are also fun to stay in if you want to hang around. Arriving at the solid-looking old farmhouse, you'll be welcomed into a snug, cosy dining room with rough wooden tables, feeling very rustic and comfortable. Your feast will probably be sitting in the fireplace finishing off, the coals on top still glowing after 4-5 hours. The momma who runs the place has all sorts of awards for traditional cooking, and is a delight to watch as she clears the coals and reveals the dish in front of her guests. If you go for a starter, it'll probably be some simple homemade bread with superb ham and cheese to nibble on while they put the finishing touches to your main meal. Then comes the main event. It's simply served in a big bowl, maybe with some salad or something as an accompaniment, little more than meat and potatoes with a few tiny herbs or berries. In our case, we had "boskarina", which seemed like beef ribs (apparently it's a local ox breed). The meat was satisfyingly shreddable, but the potatoes are the real joy, awesomely rich and oozy from the juices. With a simple table wine flowing along, the feast is complete. Desserts, in our case some interesting little biscuits, are just there to give you time to recover before you have to head home.

Driving back from Pazin to Porech on a very wet day we came across this restaurant run by a young couple.Their attitude was quite faultless. The young lady spoke prefect english and was able to translate freely to her partner.We had a simple snack lunch of sandwiches and coffee both of which were freshly prepared and really tasty - just what was needed. As we were there an American lady entered asking for directions. Again, the response was wonderful and clear directions given. This restaurant, as is the norm in Croatia, is spotless. It is a little out of the way but a wonderful stop off on your journey .This young couple deserve a return for the friendship and courtesy they who.

Rotonda

Reviewed By CMS_Osel

We loved the pizza bianco (made with a cream base instead of tomato sauce). We ordered one with truffles and thinly sliced mushrooms and another with proscuitto and rugula. Combined with glasses of the house red - a flavor explosion! I had never been a particular fan of truffles up until this point - but now, WOW! I'm a convert. My husband somehow managed also to consume (and enjoy) a dessert of chocolate filled palaczinta (sp? crepe-like pancakes). All that and two schnapps came to about the price we would pay for a single pizza back home. The Rotunda cooks its pizzas in a wood-fired oven. The service was just perfect the evening we were there - quick and friendly. The decor isn't great, the lighting is a bit harsh and there's a TV running all the time, but those are minor drawbacks. We will definitely return - probably tomorrow. I think I might try the homemade gnocchi they advertize..... with truffles, of course!

We had the local beef pasta. It was delicious! Kids were also well catered for too. Our fussy 13 year old had grilled chicken straight off the fire! The outside balcony has a lovely view, although as it as so busy we had to eat inside!
