Some food from Portoroz
As Nico has been making lots of advertising for two of our (admittedly not many) seaside resorts, here come some culinary pictures to go with them 
A fairly nice seafood / grill restaurant on the promenade first - they do wonderful grilled meats as well as delicious fish and other assorted seafood.
Starting with a simple sepia risotto, one of my absolute favourites. I guess I should have taken the picture first but only got around to it when most has already been devoured 
And going straight to the main - a halibut shaped fish (my pescatorian knowledge of English being basic, at best), done in an oven with potatoes and vegetables. 1,4kg live weight for two diners ensured we were not up for any courses in-between or after
So few ingredients necessary for a truly delicious meal, I find
Next up a new Istrian tapas place, where you can get the finer type of 'fast food'. Some beef tartare, branzino tartare, cod pate, local cured meats, sardines with jam (much better than it sounds) and poached and truffled egg
This was followed by some fritto misto, which was a very simple but good choice. Something I could get used to having regularly
Finally, some nettle gnocchi with prawns and vegetables. The nettle taste is an excellent addition and nettles have traditionally been used in our cuisine as a substitute for spinach (and they can be prepared in similar ways).
As the little one was ready for her afternoon nap, the dessert was missing but I'll add a watch picture instead

See your photos
at 12:20 was not a good idea, especially seeing what my wife is preparing (please keep this words reserved!)... Congratulations also for the last picture! Best, massi
My lips are sealed :)
Happy to take you there next time! Not been for a while but the last two weeks allowed us to reacquaint ourselves with where to go to eat Bon appetite!
That whole region in and around Istria has amazing food and wine stops.
Whichever country you happen to fall into in the region, there is always some undiscovered gem of a tiny place with wonderful food. Every time I go there, my local friends take me around to new places. Anything from spit-roasted goat to seafood, from Bosk...
Given where you are...
I am sure yours will be delicious, too Too bad I cannot join you tomorrow... Bon appetite!
I suppose it's getting the right time for food slowly?
If you\'re East Coast? Nothing like a little nudge before lunch, no? Thanks for the comments - it was very tasty indeed
If you ever come over...
There are tens of additional restaurants to sample, both on the Slovene coast as well as across the border in Istria (Croatia) Will gladly have you as a guest!
Of course :)
While this restaurant does not have its own fishmonger, I cannot imagine emptying it, no matter how many of us. If you are in the area, do let me know!
You could combine it into a Vienna...
Slovenia & Croatia trip - we will take good care of you
