About Monte
Monte is hidden in the stone-walled courtyard of chef Danijel Đekić’s family home, at the foot of the Church of St Euphemia in Rovinj, and in 2017 became the first restaurant in Croatia to earn a MICHELIN Star. Led by Danijel and sommelier Tjitske Đekić, the kitchen follows the land, the sea and the seasons of Istria, with creative tasting menus of great precision. A family story that began in 1985, it remains a warm, personal place. Book well ahead, and climb to St Euphemia before dinner for the view.
