Konoba Malo selo
A bit off the beaten path, konoba Malo Selo beckons the wanderer seeking more than just a meal. The crackling fireplace and the visible hustle around the open-fire grill create an ambiance that's both intimate and authentic. A family run restaurant, Malo Selo is a rustic retreat, conveniently hidden from the well-trodden paths.
The truffle-laden welcome sets the tone for a menu that's not about reinventing the wheel but celebrating the tried-and-true. From homemade pasta boasting the earthy charm of truffles to meats grilled with an artistry born of tradition, each dish resonates with the heart and soul of Istria.
Service, taking a leisurely pace, aligns with the laid-back rhythm of Istrian life. It's not about a rushed dining experience, it's about letting the evening unfold at its own pace, complemented by sips of local wine picked so, that it sometimes feels like a conversation in a glass. Though, as of lately, also a Michelin acknowledged restaurant, the overall bill, surprisingly reasonable for an experience of this caliber, adds to the allure.
Not just a restaurant, but rather a narrative woven through Istria's hills and traditions. Malo Selo isn't seeking to impress with grandiosity; it's an invitation to partake in a humble yet genuine culinary experience. Malo Selo is an Istrian tale told through the language of food, where simplicity meets satisfaction, and every sip and every bite carries the weight of tradition from local wine to handmade bread that underscore an unwavering commitment to authenticity.
