[Upfront: this is our third or fourth review of Monte, but one for each year (we have two apartments in Rovinj)]Very happy to be back at our favorite restaurant in Rovinj--Monte! We'll just summarize the latest:Service: Glad to see the service is not only great as always, but even improved since the last time. We noticed that there is always an extra person (often the owner!) standing watch at the top of the stairs--if he or she notices something amiss, they are right on it. For us, we just had some extra questions about the delicious menu and my puzzled look brought someone to our table within seconds. We're glad to see the same sommelier there--he guided us through some new local vintages and very happy to explain in depth about the wines.It is very likely the owner will stop by your table--give her honest feedback, she told us how much she appreciates it. If something's wrong, we've seen her make it right immediately.Food and wine: World-class! We almost always go with the multi-course tasting menu with the wine supplement. I've attached a picture of our menu, but will only give a quick review since it since it is different every day depending on the availability of certain meats/fish/vegetables. In general, we can say that every single time was an amazing culinary experience. Monte will surprise you with their combinations! In this case, we loved the John Dory fish mixed with local mussels and potatoes. One staple we love each time is the pulled pork: out of this world! Although the individual courses may look small to American eyes, but this is a several hour meal that would likely fill two or more normal restaurant plates in the USA. Both me and my wife never leave Monte hungry.Be aware if you get the wine supplement (particularly if you are thinking of driving), you will get about six full glasses of different wines and won't be able to operate an auto after this meal. Finally on food: while we don't necessarily like the fact that everyone at the table must order the same tasting menu (blue-seafood, red--meat and seafood), Monte makes an exception for vegetarian/vegan with a "green" menu or people with particular food allergies. We understand why: the entire evening watching the staff is much like watching a symphony orchestra--they flow through each of the courses around the room in perfect synchronicity. Even that is beautiful to watch. But if you are adamant about NOT doing the full tasting menu, there is an alternative--separate individual course ordering (four courses) is possible but somewhat difficult since the choices are so varied, i.e. it is pretty difficult to know how they will all fit together. We suggest sticking with the full tasting menu--we've never been disappointed.Ambiance:Great for a romantic dinner or special holiday (for us-- our wedding anniversary). Be prepared to walk up the hill, to its location near the St. Euphemia Church, so older guests may want to start early.Summary:A Michelin One Star Restaurant that deserves its second star soon!

Roadside restaurant ... but on the side facing a small pine forest ... pleasant setting. Beautiful covered terrace and old room ... Exceptional food, gastronomic limit for a reasonable price. It's inventive, tasty, well served (hearty) and beautifully presented. The staff in the room is attentive. We went 3 times with the same satisfaction. A beautiful address & a nice surprise that we highly recommend.

Marina is not a typical fish restaurant with grilled fish and calamari but the place where you will find a cuisine d' auteur. Our philosphy is to get the best out of the ingredients (fish) we can!
