Restaurant Zigante

$$

This family-run restaurant/truffle shop is 3 km (2 miles) from Motovun and is not simply a gift shop filled with truffles, truffle products, olive oil, and wine (as with other branches in Motovun and Buzet). Here in their renovated villa, you can sit down for a delicious meal of gilthead carpaccio with white truffles (gilthead being a type of sea bream) or thin palačinke (crepes) filled with white-chocolate mousse and finely shaved black truffles. This place is warm, elegant, and modern, with wrought-iron streetlamp-style lights, stone walls, and wooden beams overhead. They even have cozy rooms to rent.
