Tucked away discreetly overlooking the serene olive trees, with a breathtaking panoramic view of the sparkling Adriatic Sea, Vila Rova restaurant on the captivating island of Krk offers an unparalleled fine dining experience that will undoubtedly gratify even the most discerning and refined palate.

Krk's Premier Dining Destination

Nope, we are not exaggerating! If you are looking for a fine-dining spot on the island of Krk – this is it. Led by the masterful hands of chef Marin Pleše, Vila Rova sets the stage for a culinary symphony, where the vibrant flavors of the region and the rich heritage of Krk cuisine take center stage. 

While the restaurant's ambiance alone is a precious gem, the tantalizing aroma of the cuisine will undoubtedly captivate your senses. Pleše's exceptional talent, boundless creativity, and discerning taste for exquisite ingredients have significantly contributed to Vila Rova's resounding success. This young chef not only honed his skills at the esteemed Michelin-starred Pelegrini restaurant but also refined his craft at ManO, Zagreb's most renowned culinary establishment. Now, at Vila Rova, Pleše's mastery reaches its zenith, flawlessly demonstrated through the irresistible tasting menu aptly named "The Bridge.''

The Bridge: Uniting Culinary Heritage with Contemporary Cuisine

Just like the Krk Bridge connecting this captivating Croatian island to the mainland, this menu flawlessly blends the past and the present, merging local tradition with inventive culinary techniques and international influences.

Each dish is carefully created to showcase the exquisite flavors of the region. From the mouthwatering Kvarner shrimp to the lamb tart adorned with jus and celery, from the tantalizing octopus ragout to the delicate flavors of tuna, every plate offers a gastronomic adventure that will take your taste buds to new levels. However, the pièce de résistance is definitely the extraordinary interpretation of "presnac," a local Krk cake infused with sheep's cheese, which will truly leave a lasting impression on your palate.

In addition to the exceptional food, the restaurant's wine list is a true celebration of the finest local Croatian wines, carefully curated to complement and enhance your dining experience. With each sip, you'll embark on a journey through Croatia's diverse and rich wine regions, discovering hidden gems and indulging in the flavors of the land. From the crisp and refreshing white wines of Istria to the robust and velvety reds of Dalmatia, there is something to suit every palate and preference.

Mediterranean Ambience

Nestled next to the sparkling swimming pool, the restaurant exudes an air of tranquility and relaxation. The enchanting atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of an olive grove, providing a sense of natural beauty and a subtle hint of the Mediterranean's rich agricultural heritage. As you take your seat, prepare to be captivated by the mesmerizing sea view and the breathtaking panorama of Kvarner Bay. The gentle breeze carries the scent of the sea, infusing the air with a refreshing and invigorating aroma. A perfect harmony between nature and gastronomy!
