Capra Restaurant and café, Koper — Restaurant in Upravna enota Koper / Unità amministrativa Capodistria

Being new to the area, we came here based on reviews. We were immediately met and greeted. Soon after we were graciously seated and received the utmost attention from our waiter throughout. He was able to recommend a wonderfully balanced and exemplary Slovenian wine matched to our desires and food choices. The bread was brought to our table and proved to be fresh, still warm and delicately flavored with perfect crust and internal moisture and structure. My dish of fresh, handmade pasta with scampi and black truffles was not only a perfectly sized portion, but was out of this world! The scampi had a creamy texture without being too rich or fatty. The flavour created a perfect backdrop to the pasta (watch out grandma- I may have a new noodle love). The perfect amount of truffles created a flavor trifecta with the scampi, and pasta. And now to the desert... summer tiramisu arrived artfully presented and topped with ice cream hiding delectable treasures withing and coated solid chocolate. The tiramisu itself was surrounded in zabaglione and dusted with cocoa powder. It is now time for a nap....

It's a nice place and the waiter was just perfect for the place. It is understandable that they wish to offer something of a higher tier foodie kind of meals but since it's part of a trendy-type hotel, it could offer also more regular food besides the premium wanna-be things. Besides this place there is a pizzeria in the same complex, which is on the other hand the perfect mix of ambient and quality.

On the photo you can see the bruschetta meal, which made us laugh because we really expected something else, or better said, in different form and abundance entirely. We had to order some fries besides, not to remain hungry after this 9 eur dish (+ 4 for the fries).

We have to point out the embroidered forks and knives from a Spanish manufacturer - a very nice touch indeed. Not too fancy and very appropriate...

Not worth the money at all. Whilst the staff were friendly and the service fast, the food was extremely underwhelming. This is a pretentious restaurant where the quality of the food does not match the hype or flourish with which everything is presented. They insist on charging for bottled water despite numerous restaurants (including other higher end establishments) offering free tap water which is completely safe to drink in Slovenia. They also charged a table cover despite me not touching the bread which arrived at my table long before the food or wine menu did. For my main I was charged €16 for sardines on a bed of coleslaw with some tiny bits of potato mixed in. Completely laughable. If you think good food means high prices and fancy table settings then sure come here, because that's all...
