Meneghetti Restaurant & Bar

The story

Meneghetti Restaurant & Bar develops its cuisine through a close relationship with land, season and cultural heritage. Rooted in Istrian tradition, the kitchen follows a restrained and thoughtful approach in which ingredients lead each dish, while technique serves clarity and balance. This philosophy results in a contemporary culinary expression that feels confident, precise and deeply connected to its place of origin.

The menu evolves according to seasonality and true availability, with a strong focus on produce from the estate’s organic garden, trusted local producers and the wider Adriatic region. It changes naturally through the year, shaped by harvests and climate, while the wine list brings together Meneghetti labels and carefully selected national and international wines.

Forged in abundance

For centuries, Istria has been shaped by those who worked its soil, waters and hillsides. Farmers, fishermen, winemakers, olive growers and hunters learned to read the land through times of abundance and times of hardship, guided by seasons that demanded patience and resilience. Their rough hands, weathered and patient, forged a gastronomy defined not by excess, but by understanding.

This heritage continues to shape our approach today. Ingredients from our organic garden, local fields and surrounding seas are treated with respect for both origin and effort. Each dish stands as an homage to the land and to the hands that brought it to us, carrying forward generations of knowledge through a contemporary expression grounded in authenticity.

The Chef

Chef Ante Miletić leads the kitchen at Meneghetti Restaurant & Bar with a strong connection to place and season. His approach is grounded in local ingredients, respect for tradition and a clear understanding of origin. “For me, Istria represents heritage and legacy, expressed through the quality and honesty of the ingredients the land provides,” he notes. At Meneghetti, this philosophy translates the landscape into flavour, guided by nature and the estate’s organic garden.

His cooking is restrained and precise, focused on balance, texture and clarity of taste. Each dish follows the rhythm of the seasons, bringing together Istrian heritage and a contemporary, measured expression.
