Restoran Kaštel

Inconspicuous treasure.

Lovely, not too crowded place. Very good food & service.

We came here when visiting Motovun for the day. We’ve been a group of 5 people + 2 dogs and despite not having a reservation we were able sit in for dinner. The place doesn’t seem too popular, as it was not as busy as the restaurants at the main street, but it definitely is a gem!!

The have a garden area and a small terrasse with a view upon the the valley, which is absolutely stunning. (However, as it was a bit narrow so we decided to sit in the garden area).

Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable upon allergens and the menu, swift and attentive.

We had very good white wine (Malvazija) and food. We had homemade pasta (some with truffles and some with a creamy mushroom sauce) and beef steak with black truffles. Each dish was a generous portion, well balanced in spices and herbs and was nicely arranged. Ingredients are fresh and of very good quality, they were made to order waiting time was reasonable.

The waiter informed the chef about my dietary requirements, and precaution was taken to avoid cross contamination and prepare the dishes to suit my needs. Everyone except myself ordered some dessert (none of it would meet my requirements) and the chef especially prepared a small dish for me so I wouldn’t be the only one of our group left out on something sweet. This never happened to me ever before and I am grateful for this gesture and generous offer, the dessert was exquisite!

Everyone was satisfied and happy with their meal, we enjoyed a lovely dinner and I recommend visiting this restaurant when in Motovun!
