A private, one-of-a-kind dining event, where our Tavérn becomes your home for the night.

PREMIUM STEAKS.
OPEN FIRE.

An Unforgettable Evening Awaits

A personal invitation from Ivan and his fiancee Petra 

Step into our Tavern, a hidden gem in the heart of Istria, built from love and legacy.

Designed by my father, a renowned Istrian builder, it was his personal project: a modern take on the traditional tavern, carved with precision, soul, and pride.

It became our family’s haven, and the place where my passion for the art of steak was born—eventually growing into a global steak education platform, and a community of thousands around the world.

And now, for one night, it becomes yours. No strangers. No staff. Just a roaring fireplace, a handcrafted space, and a cozy atmosphere tailored entirely to you and your group.

Please try book at least 2 days in advance. We host only one group per night and source everything fresh.

I’m Ivan Đukić, and for over 10 years I’ve dedicated my life to mastering steak.

That pursuit took me across the globe, from living in Argentina’s smoky parrillas, learning throughout Europe and the U.S., to teaching thousands through Steak Academy, my global education platform. 

For years I hosted private steak dinners in villas across Istria.

Now, with Petra by my side, I’m bringing it home to the one place where it all began, our Tavérn.

A space where global steak mastery blends with the flavors of our Istrian roots: truffle, olive oil, and tradition.

Come share a one-night escape with steaks kissed by charcoal, crafted just for you.

The Steak Journey That Built Tavérn

What Makes This Night Different

We host just one booking a day, tailored to what you love, and require a minimum party of 4.

For fewer, an extra charge applies to keep this special experience alive in our Tavérn.

Everything is sourced fresh for your group. Nothing is held over from the night before. The space is immaculately cleaned and prepared just for you.

This isn’t a restaurant. It’s our home.

Bring your own wine or drinks with no extra charge, or we can get them for you with details arranged once you contact us.

Your Night at Tavérn

When you book Tavérn, you're not just reserving a seat, you're claiming an entire tavern as your own.

A private stone-and-wood sanctuary with a long dining table, fireplace, fire oven, fully stocked kitchen, TV, big leather couch and complete freedom. Play your own music. Pour your own wine. Stay a little longer.

It’s not a restaurant. It’s your home for the night.
And at the heart of it all — a fire-led steak experience, tailored just for you.

If you're curious, Ivan will walk you through every step of his steak craft. From how he selects the meat to the secrets behind that perfect crust.
Ask. Watch. Learn. Or just relax and enjoy.
