Gault&Millau's review 2026
Selected
Back in 1896, the chocolate produced in the first Rijeka’s cocoa and chocolate factory was named Slon. Today’s Slon is a pastry shop near the Cathedral of St. Vitus. In the mornings, you can smell the aromas of freshly ground coffee and baked croissants, quiches and other desserts made in their workshop. They make them from natural ingredients and the finest Belgian chocolate, because the owner, Moreno DeBartoli, is an ambassador for Callebaut chocolate , which he uses in his cakes. Of the few desserts that do not contain at least a crumb of chocolate, we highlight the crostata with apples and vanilla cream, and the cheesecake topped with cherry jelly. It is difficult to single out one best cake because each is an experience in itself. However, we highlight the chocolate tart, a perfect blend of crispy crust and creamy filling. Desserts at Slon are divided into cakes, tarts and creams, and you can also buy the whole cake to take away. Delicious cakes and a great location are a good reason for a break in the city.
