My sister and I both got the vegetarian menu and everything was delicious! I would recommend it just for that, but it was also so much fun. The staff were delightful and knowledgeable about the food and wine pairings. Definitely get the pairings!

I have eaten at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants around the world. Monte was one of the best. The food was amazing from the avalanche of the first course (or was it just a pre-course of several small bites?) to the bread course and on through the...dessert. Every dish was interesting and tasted great. Flavors were amazing. The wine pairings were perfect and very generous. Also very well explained. As a bonus, the wines were local and unique.
The service was perfectly timed. I had to take phone call to the USA so they slightly sped up the rhythm of the meal but it did not feel rushed at all.
And the dining room itself was lovely. Not pretentious at all. Felt very friendly.
FYI, the restaurant at the time had three different optional tasing menus (Red, Green and Blue). I was very happy that one of them, Green, was vegetarian.
And the pricing was very reasonable for the quality (and quantity) of the food and the wine.
I highly recommend Monte.More

We enjoyed a great blue dinner with a lot of side dishes. The selected wine matches perfectly with the dishes. Furthermore the service staff under the direction of the owner did a marvelous job. Present if needed but never intrusive. In summary an unforgettable experience

Superb food with a local istrian touch. Great service and accompanied with amazing Croatian wine. Fully on par with Michelin restaurants elsewhere.
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and not too formal. I'd love to eat there again some day.

One of the best restaurants in Istria, in my opinion, this Michelin restaurant does everything right! From the moment you enter, you are in for a truly special evening. The ambiance is modern yet warm; the service attentive and friendly, and the food creative, without...being fussy - which is sometimes a problem at Michelin establishments.
If you happen to be in Rovinj, I highly recommend spending one evening at Monte. Just make sure you make reservations in advance.More

Fabulous special meal at Monte’s while visiting Rovinj. From the top notch service to the impeccably timed delivery to the food presentation everything was A+++. We really felt the individual attention and service. Every dish was delicious and of course recorded with a picture. Unfortunately...when the dessert arrived I forgot to take a snapshot because we were too excited to devour the petit fours. Love the fact that it’s family operated!More

A 5 star experience.
Friendly, efficient staff.
Beautiful setting.
Food (the Red menu) was exceptional.
Wine (a different local wine with each course) was some of the best we've had.
Recommended!

We were verry well received. Every thing was okay and prepared. Guests coming in after each other and not all at once. The menu was creative with a lot of choice from fresh ingredients. We eat a fish meat combination (blue).
Every dish served in...beautiful porselein. Work of art on your plate good designed. The tastes were wonderfull, starting with the amuses till the desert. We were here before, the quality is again improved. A place to come back.More
