The story
Overlooking the calm waters of Čikat Bay, Restaurant Alfred Keller brings a refined yet welcoming vision of Mediterranean cuisine to the island of Lošinj. Chef Daniel Skokić leads the kitchen with a philosophy rooted in purity: "Respect for the tradition without compromising innovation is my way to bring to Croatia the best dining experience out there." The result is a menu that lets Croatia’s finest produce, fish, and meat speak for themselves, sourced sustainably from the island and its immediate surroundings.
The restaurant has earned a Michelin star and 17 Gault&Millau points, recognition that reflects both technical mastery and a deep connection to local ingredients. Dishes are built around the true essence of each product, with techniques that highlight rather than mask flavour. The interior, with floor-to-ceiling windows and warm, organic forms, keeps the focus on the bay outside and the plate in front of you.
Sommelier Filip Veselovac curates a wine programme that balances respect for tradition with a progressive spirit. The list features prominent producers from Croatia and the Balkans, then expands to Old and New World regions, always seeking less-travelled paths. It includes a wide representation of well-established Bordeaux producers in standard and larger formats. This thoughtful approach has earned Alfred Keller the Wine Spectator “Best of Award of Excellence” title, marking it as one of the world’s top destinations for wine lovers.
Dinner service runs from 19:00 to 22:00, offering a fine dining experience that feels personal and unhurried. Whether you come for the French-influenced Mediterranean dishes or to explore a rare vintage from the cellar, Alfred Keller delivers a meal that stays true to its place—on the edge of the Adriatic, surrounded by the flavours of Lošinj.

History
High quality cooking
The view of Lošinj’s Čikat Bay, the unique scent of island herbs and pine trees, the elegant ambiance of a luxury boutique hotel and a fairytale terrace for dinner under the starry sky - truly create an unforgettable experience. However, beautiful places are best remembered for the exciting flavours of food and special wines. All of the above is offered to guests by the fine dining restaurant Alfred Keller. It is named after the Austrian architect of the luxurious century-old Alhambra boutique hotel, in which the restaurant is nested. Even arriving at the restaurant, especially if you walk from the sea promenade, is breathtaking and the best introduction to the outstanding gastronomic journey. For five years, the restaurant was run by Austrian chef Michael Gollenz (G&M Trophy Great Chef of Tomorrow 2022), whose modern cuisine was based on classic French techniques with a focus on local and organic ingredients, and fusion with flavors of the world. The creativity of the new chef and the culinary team of the Alfred Keller restaurant will continue to be most evident through an attractive tasting menu, in which the starting point will be fresh fish and top-quality meat. The tasting menu is available to guests in the evening, and an á la carte menu is also available upon request. The restaurant’s wine list is impressive, many labels are also served by the glass, and when pairing with dishes, an individual approach to the guest is cultivated. The service deserves special praise: unobtrusive, yet always present, well-versed in dishes and wines, they present the restaurant’s offer in the best possible way.
