Also, our chef Marin Pleše has been awarded "Michelin Special Award for the young chef" given to exceptional individuals who contribute to making the guest experience unforgettable through their passion and skills.

Here is the original quote from Michelin Guide: "This young chef exudes overwhelming energy and surprising maturity in the kitchen. Tasting his many dishes immediately suggests his talent has still a long way forward. The secret to his success lies in his ability to showcase rare and authentic local products, while treating them with refined, cutting-edge technique. Each dish on the menu tells a story of local tradition, innovation, and pinpoint precision. A dynamic and constantly growing talent."

We would like to use this opportunity to congratulate all the fantastic restaurants included in the Michelin Guide Croatia 2026! It is an honor to stand alongside such incredible culinary talents in our country.

Izuzetno smo ponosni što je Restoran Vila Rova i ove godine ponovno dobio Michelinovu preporuku! Također, naš chef Marin Pleše Marin Pleše nagrađen je priznanjem "Michelin Special Award za mladog chefa", koje se dodjeljuje iznimnim pojedincima koji svojom strašću i vještinama pridonose tome da iskustvo gosta bude nezaboravno.

Originalan osvrt Michelin vodiča: "Ovaj mladi chef zrači nevjerojatnom energijom i iznenađujućom zrelošću u kuhinji. Kušanje njegovih brojnih jela odmah sugerira da je pred njim još dug put. Tajna njegova uspjeha leži u sposobnosti da predstavi rijetke i autentične lokalne namirnice, tretirajući ih profinjenom, vrhunskom tehnikom. Svako jelo na jelovniku priča priču o lokalnoj tradiciji, inovativnosti i preciznosti. Dinamičan talent koji neprestano raste."

Iskreno hvala cijelom timu na predanom radu, ustrajnosti i doprinosu ovom uspjehu.

Meet Petar - the face behind the service at Vila Rova.

For Petar, hospitality has never been just a job. Growing up alongside Vila Rova, surrounded by restaurant service, conversations about wine, and the daily rhythm of the hotel, he learned from a young age how warmth, attention to detail, and genuine service shape the guest experience.

Today, as the Restaurant Manager, he brings years of experience from Croatia and Austria, having built his career through all levels of service—from waiter to managing Restaurant Vila Rova.

After completing his degree in gastronomy, he further specialized in wine and wine pairing, earning his Sommelier Level 2 (HSK) certification. This winter, he honed his service skills at the Noel restaurant in Zagreb under the mentorship of Kristijan Harjač. The next step? Sommelier Level 3.

What brings him the most joy is creating experiences that keep guests coming back—because of the atmosphere, the attention to detail, and the feeling that they have arrived at the right place.

Upoznajte Petra - lice iza servisa u Vili Rova.

Za Petra, hospitality nikada nije bio samo posao. Odrastajući uz Vilu Rova, uz restoranski servis, razgovore o vinima i svakodnevni ritam hotela, od malih je nogu učio koliko toplina, detalji i iskrena usluga oblikuju iskustvo gosta.

Danas, kao Restaurant Manager, iza sebe ima godine iskustva u Hrvatskoj i Austriji, a svoj je profesionalni put gradio kroz sve razine servisa - od konobara do vođenja restorana Vila Rova.

Nakon završenog studija gastronomije, dodatno se specijalizirao za vina i wine pairing te je završio Sommelier Level 2 HSK, a ove zime usavršavao je servis u restoranu Noel u Zagrebu pod mentorstvom Kristijana Harjača. Sljedeći korak? Sommelier Level 3.

Ono što ga najviše veseli je stvarati iskustva kojima se gosti vraćaju - zbog atmosfere, pažnje prema detaljima i osjećaja da su stigli na pravo mjesto.

Every journey begins with a single step, and at Restaurant Vila Rova, it starts with our 4 unique amuse-bouches.
We believe that all extraordinary flavors start with high-quality ingredients. That is why each of these bites has been carefully crafted to represent the 4 main sources of all the local ingredients our guests will find throughout our tasting menus:
THE SEA: Salted anchovies choux
THE PASTURE (DRMUN ): Istrian ox (Boškarin) tartare
THE GARDEN : Bean salad
THE FARM: Cracker with cow's milk curd
-
Početak svakog putovanja kreće s prvim korakom, a u restoranu Vila Rova, ono počinje s naša 4 jedinstvena pozdrava iz kuhinje.
Vjerujemo da svi izvanredni okusi kreću upravo od vrhunske, kvalitetne namirnice. Zato je svaki od ovih zalogaja pažljivo osmišljen kako bi predstavljao 4 glavna izvora svih lokalnih namirnica koje gosti mogu pronaći u našim degustacijskim menijima:
MORE : Choux sa slanim inćunima
DRMUN : Tatar od boškarina
VRT: Salata od graha
FARMA : Kreker s kravljom skutom
