Discovered this incredible restaurant by luck after we left the Aura Distillery in Buzet. From the moment you pull up to Old River Restaurant you can sense that it will be a wonderful experience. I can't say anything that we had was less then 5 stars. My son had eggs with white truffles shaved on top, upon his first bite you saw he melted into the dish. My husband had deer meat lasagna as an appetizer followed by grilled veal. The deer meat lasagna he stated was one of his best dishes he has ever experienced and the veal was like cutting into butter so soft and delicious. I ordered their herbed chicken with a salad and the herbs that were infused into the chicken I dont have words to describe how delicious it was. For Dessert they gave us a lemon dessert on the house. My husband and son devoured it and said it was rich and tangy. Overall wonderful experience.

Five-Star Dining Experience!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Old River restaurant and it was truly exceptional although we came without reservation and we stayed only for a short time ( not to mention we were 3 ladies which is usually a sign for not drinking and less eating but hours of talk ).
From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm hospitality and attentive service.
The food was the real highlight—beautifully presented, packed with flavor, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish we tried was delicious, but the standout for me was the genuine homemade Prosciutto and Cheese platter for two ( with some homemade sausage and bacon) which is mostly hard to find in better restaurants and istrian Maneštra, perfectly cooked and bursting with taste.
The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it perfect for a relaxed evening out or a special occasion. I also appreciated the thoughtful menu options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices.
Overall, I can’t recommend Old River enough. It’s a place where the passion for great food and excellent service truly shines. I’ll definitely be coming back!
