Golden Prawns – Adriatic prawns with Istrian truffles

In Istria it is said that the greatest treasures come from both the land and the sea. Golden Prawns is the dish where those two worlds meet: fragrant truffles from the forests of Motovun and fresh Adriatic prawns, served on traditional polenta that fed generations of fishing and farming families.

Truffle is one of Istria's most recognisable products and requires careful handling. It is never cooked – it is added at the end so it keeps its full aroma. Here its earthy, almost nutty note pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of Adriatic prawns.

Polenta is the bridge between past and present. A humble everyday staple becomes the base of a refined, fine dining plate. Golden Prawns is served at €25.00.

Guests who want the gastronomy of Istria on a single plate – sea, forest and olive oil – choose this dish regularly. It works beautifully with an aged Malvazija that can carry the intensity of truffle without overpowering the prawns.

If you are planning a tasting dinner in Poreč, Golden Prawns is a natural main course after lighter cold starters. Booking a table is recommended, especially during the summer season and at weekends.
