Castle of Socerb

(G) PARADISE WITH A VIEW

The castle stands on the cliff above Socerbo, overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. And behind thick limestone walls and heavy iron doors hides a restaurant. Small, with soul and heart. Just as the master Milan Graj used to skillfully spin the "records" in a disco as a DJ years ago, today he spins around the kitchen and between the tables on an hourly basis. The offer is diverse and imaginative, from seafood to meat and vegetable dishes. The advantage of the offer is that it does not have a fixed menu, but rather it is a reflection of the current situation on the market. So the guest is pleasantly surprised again and again. Prince Albert of Monaco was also impressed. Dishes from the sea, prepared in a way that will please any seafood lover, certainly deserve attention. Well-balanced additives add that little bit more to the already rich taste of fish and crabs. Sea bass carpaccio with honey dressing, fresh Adriatic shrimp on toasted zucchini, octopus carpaccio on toasted arugula with the addition of truffles, and fresh Adriatic shrimp topped with olive oil. Of course with a glass of wine from the richly stocked castle cellar. So much in a nutshell that you're drooling. A visit is recommended at any time of the year, now that winter is approaching and the gale will be howling around the walls, but certainly in summer, when you can sit in the castle garden and listen to the roar of the wide Adriatic Sea.
