Amazing restaurant Veduta Bernardin, Slovenia



I was never a big fan of seafood. When I was little, my mom was usually quite upset when we went to a restaurant at the seaside. Everyone at the table ordered something sea-like, at least the seafood pizza if not a fish or calamari. I on the other hand wasn’t much of an experimenter so I simply went with the Wiener Schnitzel and fries (and I’m not even such a meat eater, haha).

I’ve grown up a bit since, but I’m still not a big seafood fan. However, every now and then I let myself be seduced by the things I usually don’t really like. This is how I got to eat the best calamari ever during the holidays at the Slovene seaside with my boyfriend.

Morska hrana nikoli ni bila moja najljubša hrana. Ko sem bila mlajša, se je moja mama na morju pogosto jezila, ko smo šli v restavracijo. Vsi so naročili nekaj morskega, vsaj morsko pico, če ne rib ali kalamarov. Jaz pa nisem želela biti razočarana in sem enostavno naročila preizkušen dunajski zrezek s pomfrijem (pa sploh nisem neki strastni mesojedec, haha).

Zdaj sem malo večja, ampak še vedno nisem velik ljubitelj morske hrane. Vsake toliko pa se vendarle rada pustim presenetiti. Tako sem med počitnicami s svojim dragim na slovenski Obali jedla najboljše kalamare ever.



Restaurant Veduta in Bernardin, just a few steps away from Piran and hidden from the hustle and bustle of Portorož, treated us really great, not only with the great food and impeccable service but also with the beautiful location, overseeing the sea and offering us the much needed shade in the hot lunch-time.

We hit it of with the seafood tris. On a beautifully prepared plate, we had quite a few bites of delicious octopus, enjoyed the tuna spread and mixed it up with sardines with pine nuts, onions and raisins. A blend of sweet and salty, creamy and slightly crunchy. A bit of olive oil and lemon juice to make it just perfect and voilà!
Restavracija Veduta v Bernardinu, ki je samo korak stran od Pirana in hkrati skrita pred bučnim Portorožem, naju je res odlično pogostila. Ne samo z odlično hrano in super strežbo, temveč tudi s čudovito lokacijo z morjem v ozadju ter senco, ki sva jo v tem vročem času za kosilo še kako potrebovala.

Začela sva z morskim trisom. Na lepo pripravljenem krožniku sva imela okusno hobotnico, tunin namaz in sardine s pinjolami, čebulo in rozinami. Čudovita mešanica sladkega in slanega, kremnega in hrustljavega. Še malo olivnega olja in limoninega soka in voilà!




The main dish? One word: calamari. I’ve never had my very own plate of calamari in my life. This time, the owner of the restaurant offered us a mix of grilled and fried calamari with fries. The smell of salt in the air, the hot weather and a bit of wind in my hair made me realize I felt ready to indulge into the sea atmosphere and take a leap of faith. It was amazing!


Glavna jed? Z eno besedo: kalamari. Priznati moram, da še nikoli v življenju nisem imela čisto svojega krožnika kalamarov. Tokrat nama je prijazni lastnik restavracije ponudil mešanico ocvrtih kalamarov in kalamarov na žaru s pomfirjem. Vonj soli v zraku, vroče vreme in malo vetra v laseh so me spodbudili k tej morski spontanosti in zaupala sem lastniku restavracije. Kalamari so bili odlični!




When you are at the Slovenian seaside, it is sometimes difficult to decide which restaurant to go to. They often seem rather similar to each other so at the end it is not just the meal that convinces you.

Great food aside, our lunch in Veduta was a very pleasant experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt as if we came to a friend’s house. The owner has welcomed us very warmly and discussed our wishes with us. The staff was very kind too and always served us with a smile. We will sure come back the next time we’re around. I think I’ll try one of their delicious seafood risottos then…


Ko prideš na slovensko Obalo, se je včasih kar težko odločiti, katero restavracijo izbrati. Pogosto vse ponujajo precej podobno ponudbo, tako da na koncu ni samo hrana, ki pomaga pri odločitvi.

Če o odlični hrani sploh ne govorim, je bilo najino kosilo v Veduti res zelo prijetna izkušnja. Od trenutka, ko sva vstopila v restavracijo, se nama je zdelo, kot da bi prišla v hišo prijatelja. Lastnik naju je toplo sprejel in se pogovoril o najinih željah za kosilo. Osebje je bilo prav tako zelo prijazno in naju je vedno postreglo z nasmehom. Zagotovo se bova oglasila naslednjič, ko greva na Obalo. Mislim, da bom takrat poskusila eno izmed slastnih morskih rižot…
