Harkening back to simpler more relaxed time when locals used to while away hot summer days chatting under the cool shade of an olive tree, Stara Oljka, or the Old Olive Tree in English, offers traditional Istrian cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere right along the waterfront in the centre of Portorož. Fittingly, several venerable old olive trees still provide shade for diners on the large sea-facing terrace in the back. In addition to the wide selection of fish and seafood dishes, there are ample meat and vegetarian options on the menu, and the knowledgable staff can help recommend the perfect wine to compliment it.
