Restaurants in Buje

A 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand holder in the Istrian interior, Konoba Malo Selo delivers open-fire regional cooking at a €€ price point that is hard to match on the Croatian coast. Order half-portions across multiple dishes, book a few days ahead in summer, and eat indoors by the fireplace in autumn. One of the most cost-efficient Michelin-recognised meals in Croatia.

Luciano holds two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024–2025) and a 4.4 Google rating across nearly 400 reviews — strong credentials for a Mediterranean kitchen in Istria's hill country. At €€€, it sits below the €€€€ tier of Croatia's coastal fine dining rooms while drawing on tightly sourced local ingredients. Book ahead; a few days' notice should be enough.
