Spring in Slovenian Istria is marked by wild asparagus – one of the region’s most characteristic and prized seasonal ingredients. Its distinctive flavor attracts lovers of authentic Istrian cuisine every year.

From March 27 to April 12, selected restaurants and inns will offer creative dishes where wild asparagus takes center stage – from light starters to rich main courses and surprising desserts.

In Ankaran, you can visit Bandima restaurant and Villa Andor, where chefs combine local ingredients, seasonality, and a modern approach to traditional flavors.
