Restavracija Salicornia — Restaurant in Upravna enota Koper / Unità amministrativa Capodistria

We have been traveling across Slovenia and tried different places for eating, but Salicornia served us with the very best and unique experience in this country. They opened just recently and we found it just accidentally when looking for something to eat. From the outside it looks normal, the building does not indicate the top class restaurant inside, but when you walk through the door, you will notice a very elegant interior with toned well-chosen colors and beautiful wooden furniture. We were very pleasantly greeted at the entrance and served very nicely during the whole stay. Before serving the dishes, the waiter told us a few interesting facts about the Salicornia plant and we also had the opportunity to taste delicious ice creams. The main courses were just a concert of tastes. They specialize in fishes and sea food. Because they are located close to the sea, they always have them fresh. One of the dishes we tried was a tuna steak and it was amazing. We have never tried such excellent fish steak. I also find other dishes very tasty. Pasta was delicious and dessert was just great. If you are in Slovenia, and you expect a very nice place with amazing food, good wines and nice, professional service, this restaurant is a must and we fully...

Salicornia is a hidden gem just outside the bustle of Koper, offering a serene and intimate escape paired with extraordinary cuisine. The setting is peaceful and elegant, perfect for those seeking a private, elevated dining experience rooted in the soul of Istrian and Adriatic culinary traditions.

The food is superb—fresh, locally inspired, and beautifully presented. Each dish tells a story of the region, and the expertly curated wine pairings bring out every nuance with effortless grace.

But what truly defines Salicornia is the service—nothing short of exceptional. It goes far beyond First Class, reaching a level of warmth, attentiveness, and refinement that is truly rare. A heartfelt thank you to Jan, whose gracious presence, deep knowledge, and intuitive care turned a wonderful evening into an unforgettable one. His service was elegant, effortless, and made us feel both welcomed and genuinely valued.

It’s no wonder Salicornia has received Michelin recognition for its service—every detail, from the first greeting to the final farewell, is delivered with quiet perfection.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that combines culinary excellence with world-class hospitality, Salicornia is an experience not...

Superb medditerain cusine, with a touch of creativity, and that is what makes this restaurant different than other generic seafood or fish restaurants. Do not be sceptical as the restaurant is in a bussines zone and i got to admit it is quite unusual for a restaurant of this level to be in the bussiness zone, but once you enter the restaurant they will take excellent care of you, i highly recommand a visit. And the place is a must go for the winelovers as well as they have a wide selection of local wines, most of them can also be on the glass. For those who know the slovenian coast has been missing a restaurant of this kind since Za...
