Monte restaurant in Rovinj has been granted the ultimate culinary accolade, becoming the first restaurant in Croatia to be awarded a Michelin Star. Announced in the tweet below (yeah, that's Dubrovnik in the picture) the annual Michelin guide is the most hotly anticipated gastronomy guide in the world - so it's a pretty big deal. There were also 12 recommendations for restaurants in the Istrian region.
For the first time Michelin has made a restaurant selection for Croatia!
