Hi\u0161a Franko kicks off the new season with three red and one green Michelin stars for the first time. Following a brief winter hiatus, which provided Ana and her team with additional energy and fresh impetus, they have announced the opening of the 2024 season!<\/p>

During the closure, they took the opportunity to stylishly refresh the restaurant, accentuating its character even more, where homeliness and ample space for art abound. However, rest assured, the recognizable and characteristic red walls remain, continuing to narrate the story of love, passion, and determination. This theme extends to this year’s menu, which Ana has aptly named “50 Shades of Red.”<\/p>

Frida Kahlo once said, <\/p>

‘I never painted my dreams. I only painted my reality.’ Fifty years ago, Frida Kahlo was a painter. Today, Ana Ro\u0161 is a chef. Fifty shades of life continue with fifty shades of red. Red embodies love, passion, and determination. Passion for cooking, creating drinks, and the hospitality passion. Passion for art. The colors of Hi\u0161a Franko intertwine in various shades of red. Many beautiful artworks hang on its walls,”<\/em><\/p>

This is how Ana explained the theme and name of this year’s menu.<\/p>
