lunch, the istrian way

    lunch, the istrian way

    Marenda is the traditional midday meal Istrian farmers have eaten for centuries — simple, filling, and shared at a long table with whoever else turned up hungry.

    The Experience

    What to expect

    Marenda is the family friendly lunch Istrians have always eaten between morning and afternoon work. A small daily menu chosen carefully by the kitchen, served at long shared tables under the trees. You come, you see what's on, you eat.

    It's food-only, no farm tour, no animals to visit, no set courses. Just a proper Istrian midday meal, a glass of local wine if you like, and the easy company of a shared table or the peace of taking a picnic blanket to find some shade. Come hungry, leave slow.

    • Take a seat at one of our long shared tables or grab a picnic blanket
