About Restaurant Zigante

In the village of Livade, below Motovun, Zigante is devoted to Istria’s truffles, which are found in the oak forests of the Mirna valley. The cosy gourmet restaurant shares its home with a specialist truffle shop, so you can taste and then take home oils, sauces and fresh truffles. Order beef carpaccio or home-made pasta with black truffles, or come in autumn, when white truffle season brings the year’s most prized dishes. The restaurant opens every day from 10:00 to 22:00; book ahead in season.
