KIKI’S

Flavour Fusion from the Middle East to the Mediterranean!

A recent addition to Luštica’s growing selection of eateries that line the Marina promenade, Kiki’s has already established itself as a favourite among many residents and visitors alike serving up a mouth-watering mix of classic Italian and Mediterranean flavours.

The best way to begin your visit to Kiki’s is with their signature Kiki’s Garden Cocktail - an incredibly refreshing mix of aged rum, fresh wild berries, watermelon, and soda to be sipped with complimentary bruschetta. Follow your drink with a fresh take on an Italian classic, the Caprese Salad. At Kiki’s, the Caprese Di Burrata is the perfect starter! The burrata is inserted into an incredible, ripe Montenegrin tomato and then placed on a bed of mixed greens and basil leaves! Pair this dish with a glass of Gavi di Gavi, a crisp, floral wine whose aromatic qualities compliment the Italian flavors perfectly. While you’re there, why not try a guest favorite, Homemade Trofie with Mixed Herb Pesto and

Stracciatella Cheese. The secret to this dish lies

in the restaurant’s pesto. While the traditional one uses basil as its main ingredient, at Kiki’s it combines rosemary, fresh mint, and parsley - a recipe that came about on a day that the kitchen ran out of basil and had to improvise with what was on hand!

Accompany this dish with chilled Chiaretto di Bardolino, a delicious Italian dry, crisp rose’ wine.

The main dish and star of the show is Kiki’s

incredible Seafood Skewers with Couscous

Tabbouleh. Having opened her first branch decades ago in Egypt, Kiki on this dish carried on some of the cultural blending. Delicious Mediterranean octopus, prawns and tuna fish are grilled on skewers. The dish is accompanied by a side of Couscous with Tabbouleh, a mix of fresh coriander, mint, and tomatoes!

Accompany this dish with Chablis a sophisticated dry white characterized by its crispness and purity! For dessert, you can’t go wrong with Tiramisu. Kiki’s combines the classic dessert with

mascarpone mousse, sponge cake dipped in espresso and amaretto syrup with fresh raspberries, transforming the dessert into something truly special!

FINESTRA

An Expertly Curated Selection

If it’s wine you’re after, then look no further than Finestra. Named Finestra - the Italian for window - in homage to the wives who would sit anxiously at the window, watching out to sea, waiting to toast the safe return of their sailor husbands with a glass of wine. This boutique wine store can be found on the promenade of the Marina Village and contains an expertly curated selection of more than 120 wines, ranging from crisp, clear whites to fragrant reds and everything in between! Finestra offers a truly remarkable selection of wines. However, if we were to pick a favourite, we would start with the Wine Trio Reserve 2010. A solid, fresh combination of three grapes - Merlot, Cabernet and Crow. With a ruby red colour and the aromas of red berries, and the velvety taste of overripe plums, this local wine is an excellent pairing to red meats or enjoyed on its own!
