Six courses. Five glasses. One evening that begins when the Adriatic turns to copper and ends with a dessert you will remember by name.
Inside Hotel Ambasador, a single room opens to the bay. White linen, walnut, brass. A candle, a glass, a knife placed precisely where it should be.
Cubo is the gastronomic stage of Liburnia Hotels & Villas — small on purpose, ambitious by design. The kitchen does not chase the menu; the menu chases the season. Kvarner sea bream, Istrian olive oil, herbs from the hills above Opatija, a few hands that have cooked together for years.
Adriatic octopus, slowly braised until it gives way to the spoon. Laid on a velvet of Istrian white beans, pak choi just kissed by heat, a single charred lemon and a stroke of green oil.
"Unusual, but unforgettable — a dish worth returning for."— Stilueta, 2024
Each tasting menu is composed by chef Marin Šarić in dialogue with the season. Wine pairing available for + € 55.
A cellar that reads like a love letter to Croatian wine. Istria, Slavonia, the Pelješac coast — chosen glass by glass to follow each course of your evening.
Full pairing flight available with every tasting menu — + € 55
"Every plate is a page. I'd like the season to write it, and the guest to remember it."
Trained between Istria and Italy, Marin leads a small brigade that cooks with the patience of an old house and the curiosity of a new one. The team treats every reservation like the only one of the evening — because, in a 32-seat room, almost is.
The room holds thirty-two seats. We answer the phone personally, every day. We'd be glad to keep one for you.
