Korak

Surrounded by centuries-old linden trees and the rows of the family winery – which provide a backdrop for outdoor tables in fine weather – Bernard Korak has shaped a cuisine that is deeply tied to the land and seasonality. After important experiences alongside Three-MICHELIN-Star chefs such as Ana Roš and Massimo Bottura, the chef chose to enhance the traditions of the Plešivica region, where mountains blend with rolling hills covered with vineyards. His proposal consists of a single eight-course blind tasting menu, sometimes flanked by a shorter five-course version, to offer an intense and surprising dining experience. Creative recipes, but always focused on taste: a simple seasoned radicchio leaf becomes an explosion of flavours; the frog legs on spicy almond cream are delicious, as are the snails accompanied by bruscandoli and seasonal mushrooms. Rounding out the experience is impeccable service entrusted to Vera, the chef's sister, who is attentive and thoughtful in every detail.
