Lovely place with a great atmosphere. We came around lunchtime and had to wait about 30 minutes for our order — but it was totally worth it! Huge portions, everything was super tasty, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!
Den D — Google review
its a great place overall, we ordered 4 different pizzas which were very delicious and nicely presented, the waiting time was a little longer than usual because the place was very crowded, but the waiter reassured us a couple minutes before, that our food was arriving. this place also has a variety of pancakes to choose from, which are served in big portions and are also really really tasty. i highly recommend this place if you want to eat something good at a reasonable price 😋😋
Bibek — Google review
I'm a frequent customer in Jupiter and I've also recommended this family-owned restaurant to countless friends and guests that visit me in Pula. All the feedback I got went something like this: "wow, that was amazing", "that was a great place", "the food is so good and service is great", "the quality-price ratio is unbeatable", "the pancakes are killers haha"... I can confirm all of those and highly recommend this place. You won't be able to make reservations tho so you have to show up and often wait to be seated a bit, but that just speaks to how much people love this restaurant. Come on foot because you can't park in the old town.

Amazing service – very kind and fast. The food arrived in under 20 minutes, was warm, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I came with four of my friends, and everyone was very happy with their meals. The drinks were also excellent, especially the Hugo Spritz. The lemonade was refreshingly sour, with a real, natural taste – no added sugar, which I personally loved. The place itself feels very cozy. Since it’s outdoors, it has a wonderful atmosphere with lots of flowers and decorations that create a beautiful vibe. If you’re worried about the weather, don’t be – they are fully prepared. On my visit, it was sunny when I arrived, but after I finished eating it started raining. I didn’t even notice at first, because all the umbrellas had already been opened. Overall, I can highly recommend this place – both for the great food and the welcoming atmosphere.

Restaurant
Trattoria Vodnjanka is a renowned restaurant with over 60 years of tradition, located just a short distance from Pula's market. The owner, Moris Civitico, mentioned that the menu features ingredients found at the market that day and sources many items from local producers. This family-owned eatery offers a limited but high-quality selection of traditional Istrian dishes, including specialties like manestra, pasta, and various seafood options such as brudet with polenta.
Very nice ambience full of plants and super sweet crew. We ate 3 fish dishes and everything was very fresh and nicely prepared. The dessert was specially good and seasonal. The house wine very good. Looking forward to going back!

Reliable place, just not very inspiring. Sure, you'll get very decent food at restaurant experience price and there will be no mistakes and it's deffinitely no scam, but no thrill either. Routinely boring. I wish I could go back in time to visit Vodnjanka again.

We went there because of the positive critique online. Unfortunately all three of us were quite disappointed. Extremely overpriced for symbolic portions without a taste to remember. Quality was good and the service too. Ambience is ok at the best. There’s no terrace, inside only. All in all we do not understand the hype on this restaurant.

Pizza restaurant
Pizzeria Tivoli is a popular spot in Pula, known for its delicious pizzas and a special garlic oil condiment available at every table. The pizzeria offers a wide variety of savory pies, including jumbo-sized options for those with big appetites.
this was one of the best restaurants I've ever visited. we had a reserved table, the waiter seated us immediately upon entering and brought us the menu. we ordered drinks which he brought in 3 minutes despite the completely full restaurant. there were enough waiters so they had a good division of work and no one waited long. the pizza was simply great. there were olive oils with garlic and chili on the table that went well with the pizza. the restaurant was completely full but we felt very comfortable there. we will come again 🥂🇸🇰

Anja R — Google review
We recently had lunch at this cozy pizzeria and overall, it was a very good experience. The pizza was quite enjoyable – the dough wasn’t the traditional Neapolitan style, leaning more toward a bread-like texture, but it was still satisfying. The ingredients were fresh and decent, though nothing particularly stood out. One small letdown was the garlic in oil – it would’ve been much better with olive oil for a richer flavor. On the upside, the chicken salad was a pleasant surprise – flavorful, fresh, and nicely balanced. A great option if you're looking for something lighter. What really made the experience stand out was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal, making us feel very welcome. All in all, it’s a solid choice for a casual and enjoyable lunch. While the food isn’t groundbreaking, the warm service and relaxed atmosphere definitely make it a place worth visiting. Recommended!

Good overall pizza with a big variety of toppings. The pizzeria offers delivery and and to eat inside the restaurant. It has enough space for small groups and even for big groups of over 15 people. The variety of toppings for the pizza is really good and everyone can find something he likes. The pizza with Rucola and tomatoes I ordered was good, but it definitely has also room for improvement. Personally the crust could be a bit more fluffy and the used offered olive oil was not the best

We dined at Epulon three times during our vacation in Pula, and each visit was fantastic. The service was top-notch, and the flavors were exceptional. Our favorites were the tuna, oven-baked octopus, and the steak with truffles—simply exquisite. The restaurant has a cozy yet modern atmosphere. Highly recommend Epulon for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Pula!

Dining at Epulon Food and Wine was a fantastic experience. We were welcomed with a complimentary starter and enjoyed an exquisite white wine recommendation that paired perfectly with our meals. I had the fish, and my sister had the tagliatelle with zucchini and shrimp. Both dishes were outstanding, showcasing fresh ingredients and excellent flavors. The attentive service and superb cuisine make Epulon Food & Whine a must-visit. Highly recommended!

It was not crowded when we were at Epulon so service was excellent, friendly and respectful. My husband had the fish fillet with vegetables which were cooked perfectly. I prefer not to eat fish or meat so I was happy to have the vegetables with pasta dish. The kitchen also served us an olive pesto with a dollop of soft cheese on top and slices of a whole grain bread. Their wine selection was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant with a retractable roof.

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had in my life! The raw seafood platter was divine. The fish soup was a lot thicker than other soups I've had in the region and filled to the brim with seafood (more like a stew or gumbo). Can't miss this when visiting Pula.

Nice cozy restaurant hidden from main tourist routes. The decor is very nice and the moment you step in you know your gonna get good food. We tried seafood and it was delicious. If your looking for culinary treat, that’s the place to go. However expect the waiters to be lost sometimes. They could not help us with the right wine and the service was slow and not professional. If you want good food and don’t mind long lunch/dinner and remind waiters to bring you your drinks, this is a place to go. Expect A+ good 👌

Bistro Alighieri is a popular restaurant in the heart of Pula, Istria. It serves traditional Istrian dishes and small snacks, as well as wine and cocktails. You can dine inside or outside on the square.
Really great experience at Bistro Alighieri, offering more traditional Croatian cuisine. The menu has plenty of different options; there's seating area both inside and outside. The servers are very friendly, helping with decisions and presenting chef's meal of the day. Price was right for the location (almost near centre of Pula).

The place is nice and the staff was super friendly. We came just to eat a dessert, and we could sit outside, next to the fountain. However the Tiramisu was a huge disappointment. The cream had no flavor, overall I would not recommend it to anyone. The lemon cheese cake was a bit better. Water was quite expensive as well. Overall paying 19 euros for water and two cakes, which weren't amazing, makes it that I can't recommend it.

Alighieri was an absolute highlight of our time in Pula! We went all in and tried a variety of dishes — from the fresh and flavorful seabass carpaccio and octopus salad to the perfectly crispy fried squid and rich sea trio. The scampi spaghetti and veal Milanese were both standouts, and the beef steak was cooked just right. Sadly, we were too hungry to snap photos of everything — only managed to capture the pasta before diving in! We wrapped it all up with a classic tiramisu that totally hit the spot. The staff were super friendly, the drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere had just the right buzz. Huge shoutout to our Airbnb host for the recommendation — this place was honestly amazing. A must-visit for anyone in Pula!

Farabuto is a slightly formal yet unpretentious restaurant located in the southern part of town, tucked away in a quiet residential cul-de-sac. The menu features Istrian-style Italian-Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on risotto, ravioli, local prosciutto, and an abundance of seafood such as mussels, squid, octopus, tuna, and bluefish.
Very good experience. The place is extremely quiet and cozy, the atmosphere is very relaxed elegant and informal at the same time. The menu is short enough to ensure high quality food, but wide enough to allow the customers to choose between a solid variety of dishes. Our waiter spoke both in English and Italian, we appreciated it. She also explained perfectly the dishes when brought to the table. Home made bread was a nice surprise too. We came here to eat fish, we ate fish and we were happy about it. 85€ in three people, amazing price-quality ratio. We also ordered the cheesecake, honestly it wasn't great, but that does not ruin an amazing dinner.

One of the only two fine dining restaurants worth visiting in Pula. The food is superb (try the sea platter for two as an appetizer) and the staff is just perfect. Most of the menu changes regularly, so it is hard to recommend a particular dish, but if you see octopus or a shell risotto for two, don’t skip!!

Everything was amazing! This restaurant was recommended by our airbnb host :) Just when we sat down we were already served fresh homemade bread. For drinks we’ve had the open house wine which was really good. We’ve had the fish soup as a starter which was great. As the main course we’ve shared the mixed mussels and the baked fish covered with pine nuts and almonds which was really really good. As a desert we’ve shared a lemon cheese cake which was - again - amazing. Staff was friendly and the location is nice and quiet. The wait for the food was a bit longer than we were used to in Croatia, which we didn’t mind since it was a good sign that everything was freshly made. Would definitely recommend eating here :)

Grear experience if you'd like to visit a restaurant closer to the residential area of Pula. We had ordered the octopus stew, the tomato soup, the fried fish with potato salad and 4 glasses of wine. In addition to that they brought us free homemade bread. The bread was brilliant, warm and very tasty. The wine was extremely cheap and also really good! The food was not cheap. The service was excellent. Would probably revisit for their bread and wine.

Batelina is a renowned family-owned restaurant in Banjole, Istria, known for its specialization in blue fish like anchovies and sardines. The restaurant, which has been visited by celebrities like Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsey, offers a limited seafood menu that is always made with fresh ingredients of the day. With just 24 seats inside during winter and 50 on the waterside terrace in summer, Batelina provides an intimate dining experience.

If you're a fan of incredible seafood and love trying new things, Batelina is an absolute must-visit. We were spoiled for choice, but thankfully, the fantastic waiters made decisions easy by whipping up several delightful little appetizers for us to start – each one was a winner! The focus here is truly on fresh, daily-caught fish, and it shows. For the main course, they bring the catch of the day right to your table, allowing you to pick your perfect fish – a wonderful touch that ensures you're getting exactly what you want. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. And you cannot leave without trying their chocolate muffins with chili and olive oil. Seriously, they are to die for! We visited last year, came back this year, and will definitely be back next year too. Just a heads-up: make reservations and remember it's cash only.

As the very first fishermen’s tavern in the area, it radiates a warm, welcoming vibe of family and togetherness the moment you walk in. From the very start, the incredibly kind and attentive hostess guided us through the evening, suggesting the perfect wine pairings and explaining each dish with genuine passion. We started with a stunning variety of cold appetizers, each one a little masterpiece for the eyes, nose, and palate. This was followed by a divine lobster pasta and ravioli filled with parsnip in a delicate amberjack sauce, both showcasing incredible balance and depth of flavor. Then came the highlight – the grilled scampi. Though prepared in the simplest way, they were hands down the best we’ve ever had, pure perfection on a plate. And, as the saying goes, save the best for last. The desserts were imaginative and absolutely delicious, especially when paired with a glass of fragrant Muscat. The evening came to a perfect close with a traditional moka coffee, a warm and authentic final touch. Prices are, to say the least, more than fair considering the outstanding quality and experience. We cannot wait to return to relive this unforgettable evening!

I’ve been so excited to try this restaurant and all I can say is that I can’t wait to go back! The food is all homemade and so incredibly fresh! The selection is what was caught that day and there is so much to choose from. Drinks are great and priced well. The staff is amazing, attentive, nice and friendly but also so knowledgeable. The terrace where we sat was so lovely, the view of the gardens and flowers around makes you feel at home. Desserts were mind-blowing (I don’t usually care too much). This might now be my #1 fish restaurant in Croatia! I didn’t even mind that it was cash only. And the value for money was really good!

We have been in Batelina few times already, that was the reason we wanted to come back. After 7.5 hrs drive from Split we "kiss the door" of the restaurant finding note at the gate that they are on vacation till 18/08. Anniversary ruined big style.

Absolutely loved this place! Unfortunately, we only discovered it at the end of our vacation — if we had found it earlier, we would’ve come every single day! Luckily, we still got to enjoy it for the last three days, and what a great experience it was. The wine is fantastic, but what really made it special was the service — especially the guy who’s (maybe?) the owner. Or if he’s not, then the guy with the amazing energy and passion — absolutely top! Thanks for everything!

First ever visit and it is a very quiet Sunday afternoon in mid September. A lovely interior with nobody inside...not even a staff member!!! ( They were actually working out back and took my order very quickly ). We sat on the large front patio opposite Riva restaurant with 14 other guests. The back terrace/courtyard is much bigger. Norma and Liza shared a large 0.2l rosė 6.20€ Paulicarus and Madge a large Ožujsko alla spina for 4.60€. I know it gets busy and serves burgers ( meat, fishy, veggie etc. .. and a breakfast menu ) but a very peaceful drink for us.

Kantina Restaurant is a classic Mediterranean eatery located in the heart of Pula, housed in a historic 19th-century building near the Arch of the Sergii. The restaurant offers a terrace dining experience and serves a variety of seafood, meat dishes, and Istrian delicacies. With its focus on showcasing Istrian wine and produce, Kantina provides carefully presented food with truffles featuring prominently in many dishes. The contemporary decor adds to the overall dining experience at this lovely terrace restaurant.
Dining at Restaurant Kantina in Pula was an absolute delight from start to finish. The whole fish I ordered was nothing short of spectacular—fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with authentic Mediterranean flavors that truly showcased the quality of local seafood. What made the experience even more memorable was the impeccable service. The staff delivered a level of fine dining hospitality that felt both professional and warmly personal.

The food was absolutely delicious! We had traditional Istrian dumplings filled with ricotta and served with tomatoes and creamed parmesan in sage sauce. For a starter we got some cream cheese with truffles. House wine was also top. I highly recommend this restaurant to try some local dishes

Kantina Restaurant was a very beautiful surprise! We found the restaurant based on other very good reviews and we were more than satisfied. The restaurant is located a few hundred meters from Paula's center, and is very easy to reach. We had a full meal based on truffle dishes that were delicious. The waiter was extremely professional and kind and, in addition to our order, we have received a starter and a small amaro at the end of the dinner. Highly recommend!

HIDDEN GEM - found this lovely restaurant on Google maps and decided to give it a go. It was a quiet Monday in April, so we didn't need a reservation. Our meal started with a lovely whipped cream cheese and truffle served with fresh homemade bread and a beetroot and balsamic drizzle. It was delicious. Next was the Istrian sausage. Presentation again beautiful served with rocket, walnuts and dried fruits (apricot and dates). This was finished with the thinnest of dried threads (think vermicelli) of chilli. Main courses were traditional pasta of Pljukanci with Smoked Gilt-Head Sea Bream and Adriatic Prawns / Pljukanci with Boškarin beef giravolta and goat cheese. Both again 10/10. It's a shame it's our last night here as we'd definitely be visiting again!

Restaurant
Konoba Boccaporta is a charming family tavern that has been serving delicious Istrian dishes since 2014. The cozy atmosphere, complete with a roaring fireplace and wooden beams, sets the stage for an intimate dining experience. Here, you can savor succulent Boskarin beef and fresh octopus prepared under hot coals, accompanied by seasonal vegetables. The menu offers a wide selection of traditional Istrian meat and fish dishes, all prepared according to local recipes.
So we came to this konoba in Pula after seeing a TikTok video recommending the lamb cheeks with homemade gnocchi and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Absolute foodgasm from the first bite🤯 We also had the rumpsteak tagliata served on a bed of fresh homemade rucola with perfectly grilled veggies. And let’s not forget the homemade bread they served us which was still warm, crusty outside, soft inside. Everything was bursting with flavor and clearly made with love. We had just come from the beach and weren’t sure if it was okay to go in all casual, but the staff welcomed us with open arms. So kind, so warm like we were family. The waiters were honestly amazing, made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And the grand finale was the tiramisu. Probably the best we’ve ever had (and we’ve tried a lot!). Creamy, rich, and HUGE, definitely big enough for two people, but so good you’ll want to keep it all to yourself. Overall? 100 out of 10. We’ll absolutely be coming back and recommending this gem to everyone we know!

Highly recommended! We only ordered main courses, and each dish was absolutely delicious – perfectly seasoned, well-prepared, and generously portioned. You can tell the chef really knows what they’re doing. The service was excellent – friendly, fast, and very professional. We felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. There’s also a large parking area in front of the restaurant, which is a big plus. However, the place is very popular, so it’s hard to get a table just walking in – we definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. We’ll be happy to come back again – next time, we’ll try more from the menu!

We arrived around 1800 without a reservation. As others have mentioned the staff seemed irritated that we didn't make a reservation, but they were practically empty. We were seated immediately nonetheless. After a little bit of frustration with the waiter we ordered quickly. I got the gnocchi with beef cheek and my partner got the truffle pasta. Both dishes were very good. The red house wine was okay and the white house wine was quite good. We ordered the tiramisu and it was incredibly good. I don't like coffee at all and I didn't get the slightest hint of coffee. The cream was astonishingly light and fluffy with a nice sweetness. I would recommend making a reservation to avoid the annoyance from the staff.

The taste of the food was really good but the amount definitely scarce for the price paid. The restaurant is far from the touristic zone of the city and this is good, but the surrounding area doesn't look very attractive. The service was good and the waiters patiently waited for our table to get complete. If money is not a problem for you or you don't have a large appetite, this is definitely recommended.

Restaurant
Ribarska Koliba restaurant in Pula boasts a rich tradition spanning over a century, earning it the moniker 'The Taste of the Sea.' Situated at the beginning of the Verudela peninsula, this establishment offers a stunning view of the marina from its terrace. Specializing in Istrian, Mediterranean, and continental cuisine, Ribarska Koliba prides itself on using seasonal ingredients and fresh seafood sourced from local suppliers.
My husband and I celebrated our wedding night dinner at Ribarska Koliba and everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was excellent. We were well taken care of for the entire evening. Our server was kind, friendly, and professional, and had good suggestions for a wine pairing with our seafood dishes. The restaurant was very in tune with our celebration and made our special day even brighter with amazing food and an homage to our homeland of Canada with a Celine Dion soundtrack in the background! The food was simply delicious and a true reflection of our proximity to the sea. The view of the marina from the dining room was gorgeous. I highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic setting with incredible service and food.

This restaurant is the perfect choice for those who want to sit right by the sea and enjoy a beautiful view and an intimate atmosphere. No crowds, no noise, just pure enjoyment and relaxation. The food was outstanding – fresh and high-quality, perfectly prepared. The fish was succulent, and the side dishes were light and perfectly complemented the flavors. The staff was incredibly professional and discreet, giving us plenty of privacy. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Mediterranean experience with an emphasis on fresh fish and a relaxed atmosphere.

Michelin recommended restaurant is judged in the different categories than my normally visited places, that should be clear 😃 Black risotto I enjoyed a lot, perfect fit with olive oil and seafood. Traditional Croatian pasta with tomato sauce, ricotta and 6 shrimps - hmm, not in the same level of taste, presentation and experience, but same price as black risotto. We needed to wait sone time for a bill and card terminal, but it was just because of a lazy Sunday. In general - nice place, worth visiting.

This is not a high quality restaurant, it's rather Istrian avarege+. We booked a table for our anniversary and because of the Michelin recommendations. It was good, a bit different than everywhere else where you have the same menu. Nice to try, yet still really nothing special. The service wasn't great, the waiter seemed like he needs to rush everytime he approached our table, even though there were just few tables to serve. Saying this I'd come back, but I'd rather come without any "Michelin expectations".

I travelled to Vietnam and Malaysia in June of 2025 and engaged in a hunt for every Michelin starred and nod eatery so I’m Asian geared for Michelin restaurants.

Located in the heart of Fazana, right by the sea, Restaurant Korta offers a delightful dining experience. With a picturesque view of the Brijuni islands national park, this charming eatery serves up an array of local cuisine including fresh fish, seafood, and quality regional wines. Open from mid-April to late October, it's a perfect spot to savor traditional Istrian dishes such as 'buzara stew' with crabs and grilled polenta in a relaxed atmosphere.
We stopped here to grab a bite after visiting Brijuni, and we loved it. The food was very tasty and delicious, we had pizza and some drinks. The staff were very friendly and kind, overall atmosphere was very cozy. It’s a great and chill place to relax and enjoy the food.

We pulled into the harbor across the walkway from this restaurant after boating around the Brijuni Islands and lunched at this perfectly located restaurant. Relax and enjoy a plethora of fresh seafood options whilst people watching and enjoying the fresh sea air. Their salt crusted sea bass was the best I've ever had as well as the largest lobster pasta dish that easily fed four people. Highly recommend stopping here if you find yourself in Fazana!

Amazing experience at Restoran Korta in Fažana! The food was delicious and fresh, with a great variety of options—including a fantastic gluten-free pizza that was one of the best I've ever had. It's not easy to find good gluten-free options while traveling, so this was a real treat. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable about dietary needs, and the cozy atmosphere made the whole evening even better. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area—especially for anyone looking for great food with gluten-free choices!

Gaucho Steakhouse is an Argentinean restaurant that offers a wide selection of freshly prepared dishes and refreshing drinks. The menu features delicious salads and perfectly cooked meat, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and love. The service is described as awesome, personal, kind, and friendly. While seafood is no longer available, the focus on perfecting the meat menu compensates for it. The location is nice and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great.
We really loved it here! The food was absolutely incredible — we had the Australian ribeye, and it was so tender it practically melted in our mouths. We made a same-day reservation, but from what we saw, the staff are great at finding tables quickly. Friendly service and an amazing meal!

We were looking for a good steakhouse in Pula and came across Gaucho Steakhouse through a flyer where we were staying. After checking it out on Google Maps, we immediately decided to give it a try and it definitely surpassed our expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, the meat cooked perfectly, and the service was outstanding. We were a group of 4 adults, each with a baby, and the staff were incredibly attentive to us. At one point, when my baby got a little impatient, what I believe was the manager kindly offered to take her for a little walk so we could enjoy our meal in peace – such a thoughtful and sweet gesture that really stood out to us. We didn’t even get the chance to take a picture, as having babies with us kept us busy. But that only shows how much we were enjoying the moment. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, the service top-notch, and the food simply amazing. If I could suggest one small thing, it would be to lower the music just a bit inside the restaurant, as it was a little loud at times. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Gaucho Steakhouse to anyone visiting Pula. We’ll definitely be back before the end of our vacation! 🥩✨

We booked here based on Google reviews and were sorely disappointed with the quality of the steaks and prepared vegetables. The servers were fantastic- they were courteous, friendly, personable and had a good sense of humor. Ordered pizza’s for the kids which were good. Our friends ordered burgers which also were good. We ordered the plate for two looking forward to the pecanha, amongst other other items coming in the plate. The salsiccia was burned on the outside and dry/overgrilled, the meat was tasteless and incredibly tough. Even the picanha was overgrilled and charred on the fat which is usually my favorite part. There was chimichurri and a white sauce and a bowl of raw red onions as condiments. They saved the meat somewhat. Of positives - the ribs were perfect, fall-off-the bone and very nice, not overly smoky BBQ sauce and the potatoes were also good. I ordered a side of asparagus with Parmesan and the asparagus were boiled to obliteration, limp and very chewy. I think they forgot the salt here as well. Recommendation for improving consistency and flavor of meat would be to marinate and salt well. It’s not difficult to make amazing steak 🥩 but unfortunately this meal failed terribly. I told the server regarding the asparagus that it might not be a bad idea to actually steam them «al dente» next time.

Anna V — Google review
We've read about this place as being one of the top dining experiences Fažana has to offer, and being somewhat of burger enthusiasts, we were eager to pay them a visit, or maybe even a few during our stay. However, the experience was underwhelming. The place itself is a few minutes' walk from the bustling town center, so it already has a nice calm vibe. Adding to that is that it has beautiful outside seating in a lovely unpretentious Mediterranean backyard, with plenty of space between tables. The background music playing was 80s Top 40. All these things show they do care about creating an ambiance, but let's also see about food, right? They have a reasonably expansive drinks selection with an accent on, naturally, craft beers, both local and international. The burgers come in variety of Black Angus, local beef and boškarin patties, along with the regular accomplices of fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc., and if your date isn't into food all that much, there's salads. Unfortunately, one of our party has a diet restriction and is not allowed to have any dairy or soy in their food. We talked to the waitress, she was knowledgeable about which meals were made with these ingredients, and helpfully suggested a burger with lettuce instead of the bun, seeing the buns were made with milk. Having our order sorted with the helpful waitress, we were pretty excited about the food, as it was a long day and were really hungry. Though the place has only about a dozen tables, we waited for more than an hour to get our food. And, on the specially ordered non-dairy burger - a big slice of cheese proudly melting on the patty. Of course we complained, they apologized, but then again we had to wait for another 20 minutes to get the burger, with no lettuce 'buns' and practically no sides. We had our food, it tasted nice, but we were just not in the mood any more to enjoy it. The dairy incident aside; it was a mistake, it can happen to everyone, we do not really hold it against the establishment; it still leaves the issue of very slow service. It seemed that the place was understaffed, and the long wait times were really diminishing the experience. Overall, this place does have great food, the atmosphere is wonderful and if they find a way to speed up the service, I'd be more than happy to upgrade the number of stars.

A must visit! I definitely will. I had the Miss Daisy burger (double cheese and an egg) with Bura Optimist beer. Great combo. We were a pretty demanding crowd of people going to dinner after work but the staff was kind, nice, helpful and didn't mind the repeated requests for an additional glass of water (be smart and hidrate when you drink) or helping us take the group picture for the 10th time with yet another one of our devices.

Of course, there is indoor seating, but you don't want to miss out on the view. The food could be better. Black and shrimp risotto are amazing (!), but we were disappointed by the pricey steak salad. The meat just wasn't high quality which you would expect for a "Yacht" restaurant near a 4-star hotel. The wine list is alright. Staff is okay, but could be more friendly.

Great atmosphere, portions somewhat small and no bread. Music was quite loud and annoying- not fitting the location in my opinion. Cocktails were good, prices rather high for the level and amount of food. Still recommend the place for the location and food quality.

Stunning views of the water. Great seating for the person coming out of the water. The shrimp was delicious. The waiter was kind enough to help get the meat out of the shell. The chicken with vegetables was OK, just a little dry. Yummy iced coffee.

I happen to visit Yacht during weekend with a friend We chose this reataurant for its friendly staff and stunning beachfront location, it did not disaapoint The ambience is unbeatable we enjoyed our meal with the soothing sound of waves. The restaurant's décor is casual yet chic, perfectly complementing the relaxed beach vibe. The service was excellent. The staff’s warm and welcoming attitude made our experience even more enjoyable. Yacht offers a perfect blend of delicious food, excellent service, and a stunning beachside setting. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special dining experience, this place is a must-visit. We left with full stomachs and wonderful memories, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A pleasant seaside dining spot, this restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere with great views of the sea. We visited for an early dinner as it closes at 8pm. Seated near the swimming pool, which added to the casual feel. ​The food was good—I particularly enjoyed the Rissotto, which was fresh and well-prepared. The prices were reasonable for the quality. However, the service was a bit slow, and we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks and main courses. ​As we were finishing our meal, the staff began cleaning, with mops and cleaning supplies appearing in our dining area. It was a bit distracting and felt like they were in a hurry to close, which detracted from the experience. ​Overall, it's a good spot for a casual meal with a beautiful view. If you don't mind a leisurely pace and the possibility of some early closing preparations, it's a solid choice.

Portion size is small, we had to order 3 dishes to our family (2 adults + 4 years old) and it was just enough food. Food quality was pretty low, octupus was very chewy, way worse than the average person can cook at home. Calamari was chewy as well, but not as bad. Čevapćići was good. Soft drink prices were fine, if you order the larger bottles. The view is amazing, one of the best you can get.

The first time we came here the waiter put an extra dish on your bill. We let it slide , as a mistake and we paid . The second time we came back we found a METAL thing in the food . We waited so long for someone to take the plates and when we told them about it , we had to wait again a long time and no one came back to apologise at least , till I decided to ask for the bill. The last waiter asked us how was the food and we told him about it , he apologised and offered a coffee, that was the only one who seemed to care . The view it’s nice and the food wasn’t that bad , but after founding that in the food , we are definitely not coming back here .

Konoba Istriana is a must-visit restaurant located in the watersports hub of Pomer, known for its expertise in preparing boskarin ox, scampi, and the famous peka lid. The slow-cooked seafood and meat dishes are a highlight, often prepared on hot coals with an advance order required. The restaurant takes pride in offering homemade pasta, locally sourced prosciutto and vegetables, as well as authentic regional cuisine.
Was there last week before it closed now for this year. The food tasted super good. The place is very nice and dogfriendly. The waiters were pleasant and could tell what was gluten-free/non-gluten-free food. Otherwise, it says on the menu what is gluten-free. I especially liked the cheese from the grill as a starter and together with gluten-free bread. It was my favorite.

Too expensive for simple fries with small piece of meat (between 20,- and 35,-). No vegetables or other creative and tasteful supplements, that would show some love for what they offer to their guests. Even if you want Ketchup or Mayonnaise it is 2,- euro each. Spezi with postmix cola is 8,-. Location plus view is not even very interesting. They only want to make money.

Very nice place with very decent prices. 8 euros for a pizza, 12 euros for fried calamari. Big portion difference between the fried and grilled calamari, fried is bigger and more tasty in my opinion. Probably the most cheaps, fair quality price place in the city center.

We had lunch here, 2 people. The location was not full,so we got the table fast . The food is decent . Can't say tasty, as the servings were simple. Calamari and fries, fish and grilled vegetables . Wirh the service was a bit of issues even the waiter tried to be nice. The confused the sides first. Then took back to the kitchen and changed to correct way ( thanks for this). I asked for a glass of water as in every restaurant/cafe/ bar in Croatia you can get it for free. But here they refused, you either buy a bottle which is 4 times more expensive than in the supermarket, or you don't have water in the middle of the summer when it's+40 outside. It felt strange. All in all you can get lunch here with the reasonable price as the quality and taste of the dishes are the same level, not impressive.

The restaurant was simply good, but not the greatest. The staff was friendly, however there was one server that was visibly starting to work so he was a bit messy. The food was also ok. My grilled calamari were a bit too long on the grill, but they were good anyway. However, the fried calamari were mediocre. From other dishes the pasta di mare was very tasty, the pizza was also just ok, same as cevapi. The spot outside was very nice, and the inside of the bar is one of the very few places in the world where you can still smoke inside.

We've always enjoyed this restaurant - we typically dine here in the winter, and the meals have usually been delightful. However, our recent visit was disappointing. The amuse-bouche was a dry tuna pâté served with a dry tortilla, which lacked flavor and did not set a positive tone for the meal. We started with the beef tartare, a dish we've enjoyed in the past. Unfortunately, this time it was poorly executed. The tartare meat was mixed with an excessive amount of mustard and other flavors, completely masking it. It was so poorly executed that it felt like an insult, especially given the restaurant's reputation and price point. We hope this was an isolated incident, but it definitely was enough for us to lose confidence in the restaurant.

With the limited restaurant options available in the local area we thought we would give this restaurant a try. Coming from the heart of London we are no stranger to expensive restaurants and fine dining. Upon entering this restaurant we weren’t greeted with a smile, but with a face of disgust almost. Like we didn’t belong there. Before sitting us down at a table the waiter made us look through the menu hinting that we might not be able to afford eating there. After 5 minutes she came back and asked us if it was okay, we politely said yes and she took us to the table. Upon being seated at the table we were again handed the food menu to look through. Only once we had requested a drinks menu was one handed to us. To our surprise there were no wines listed on the drinks menu. When we requested one, we were told that it wasn’t available due to “the wine list being busy”. I had to look through the website online to find a wine and stopped the waiter to ask her to order the bottle we wanted. She said that she had to check if they had the wine available and diss appeared into the wine cellar for what felt like 10 minutes. In this time we had no water at the table and when she did re appear from the wine cellar she left our bottle on the side and attended another table. Many minutes went by with our wine sitting there getting warmer and with no water on the table we had no choice but to leave and asked another waiter to cancel our order. Unless you are from the local area and speak the language or have a reservation we wouldn’t not recommend this place as we felt so unwanted and uncomfortable.

Sounds like a classic case of a restaurant with “elite ambitions,” where the atmosphere seems to matter more than guest comfort 😄 If the weather is bad and you don’t show up “in a white collar”, they won’t seat you right away — first they’ll hand you the menu to flip through, maybe to check if you can even afford their restaurant 😂😂 The meat was delicious, the octopus was rubbery. Since we were dressed in casual, sporty clothes, they seated us in the back room where we were alone — and only turned on the music about 10 minutes later The presentation of the dishes was great, and the complimentary starter from the chef was a nice touch

The staff behaved in a shameful, almost aggressive way.

We came in as a group to get drinks for our elderly parents, one of whom is in a wheelchair, so they could cool down on a hot day. The plan was to sit with them, step out briefly to walk the street market, and return in 20 minutes to enjoy more drinks together. Before we could even place our order, the waiter immediately assumed we were trying to misuse the space. He rudely told us we couldn’t “just sit and leave,” even though we were in the process of ordering and explained our plans. It felt like he was making assumptions based on how we looked — and it came across as clear racial profiling. When I ordered an iced coffee and asked a simple question, he spoke to me condescendingly, as if I didn’t understand. The drink was overfilled, and when I tried to insert the straw, it spilled. Instead of helping, he blamed me and started lecturing me on how to drink it — seriously. When I expressed how unfair and disrespectful his behavior was, he tried to excuse it by saying he’d had a stressful day and that “even people from his own country” do this — further revealing his biases. To top it off, they only accepted cash and didn’t tell us until the end, even though other reviews say card payment is accepted inside. It felt dishonest. We didn’t finish our drinks. We paid and left. If you’re a tourist or a person of color, I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. You deserve to be treated with basic respect

Had a wonderful dinner at cosy and rustic Osteria Gina. Being warmly welcomed by the Chef he offered us three choises from fish and meat list. I chose pork neck and filet while my partner had fish. Both choises were delicious, as was also the red and white wine. We left happily after grappas from the House and interesting discussions with the Chef.

Today we chose Ošteria Gina for dinner and did not regret it. I was amazed by the concept of the restaurant with an authentic design. Very nice staff and most importantly delicious fish of different types. Thank you for the evening

Went there in summer 2024, very small but very comfortable and with a wonderful view. Since its only a one man Restaurant the seating is very limited so we would recommend to call in beforehand. The Cook/Server/Owner prepared a fresh fish plate with potatoes and bread. The variability of the fish was more than satisfying and everything was on point. Overall it was a very unique kind of experience. Would definitly go there again if we happen to come by.

This was an extraordinary experience in the sense that one cannot find such an experience elsewhere. Max provides a personalised experience to every customer and works in his unique ways. He only uses fresh catch of the day and thus the menu varies. The food is simple and designed to let the natural flavours of the produce speak for itself - which is delicious. The homemade lavender ice-cream is perhaps the best one could ever have. The restaurant’s ambience is quite cosy, with nice views. The only downside (for some people) is that you have to invest both time and money.

The most unique place I have ever dined in. The owner cooks, serves and is so personal. Only dines a couple guests in his home and need a reservation to eat but worth it. One of the most memorable and amazing dinners I have ever had. If you love unique places, great food, and amazing atmosphere. Everything is designed by Max himself!! 100000000/10

Best barbecue in Istria - always delicious meat and great quality ingredients. Love the kajmak that is swimming in cheese, and the potatoes and thinly sliced onion are a great addition to the meal. Highly recommend!
Grill Campo has it all - lovely atmosphere,super nice staff and delicious food! We had the mixed grill for two, because we wanted to try a bit of everything and we were very happy with the choice. Everything was delicious including the “pekarski krompir” - the potatoes. For dessert we had campo cheesecake and it exceeded our expectations. The portions are generous and everything was served with a smile on our waiter’s face. Overall 10/10 experience,we will definitely come back again!

I had the Campo steak, it was very good though not excellent. It was very rare, not even close to medium, also very salty and the pepper sauce was full of lumps. Raw onions on the side is not really a common choice for serving a steak. Also it is very strange that there is no serious wine available per glass, only in bottles. You need a few sommelier-selected wines for the steaks. As you have a great steak selection and aged meat, I would expect some more sophisticated approach. Nevertheless, it's still a great place with high quality fresh food!

The seafood restaurant BACKYARD Dinner&Breakfast was an amazing experience! The best octopus I've ever had and the vegan dish my girlfriend had was also superb. It's a bit more expensive than other restaurants, but it's definitely worth it. The service is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect. I would highly recommend visiting this special place!
It was an amazing experience at Backyard: we tried three “short” menus. Every combination of flavour was made with fresh ingredients, skills and knowledge, in a not obvious way of cooking. 3 menus = 150€ more or less + the lobster. The staff was super kind and on point. You should go there.

Last night we were there and it was a perfect experience, whatever we ate and drank! We took small menu, started with on the house 3 small starters (delicious) then ceviche, seabass with sweet potato and beans, and then 2 different deserts (I liked the ice cream one more!), Malvasia wine and Sur lie Chardonnay were cherry on top 🍒 Staff was very friendly, explaning and sharing details we asked.

If there were an option, I'd give this restaurant a 15/10, but would not know where to start when it comes to our impression! Antonija and Petar, these creatures of heaven that served us, managed to make our evening delightful, relaxed and the most enjoyable experience in Pula. Apart from their warm and positive energy that erased the formal distance between a host and a guest, they managed to gently keep us in the loop regarding each type of dish we were consuming at that moment, as well as to why that specific wine selection is paired with the said dish. They even managed to find a red wine I really enjoyed, and I was up until that point a white wine girl! You could definitely distinguish their impeccable taste in food and drinks, and also their ever growing experience in hospitality industry. This restaurant and its staff really make the 'fine' in the fine dining!

Backyard Trattoria is a wonderful (the best of Pula) restaurant near the arena of Pula. For people loving gastronomic food, this is the place to be. We took the degustation menu, however you can also choose for two smaller menu´s. Also the wine is fantastic. The sommelier knows his wines and listens very carefully to understand your expectations to serve you the best wine. For me, they deserve a place in the Gault Millau or Michelin!

This was our second visit to the restaurant. After the first visit, I usually don’t leave reviews, as inconsistency in service throughout the seasons is often disappointing. However, I can say that since our first visit two years ago — which was already worthy of an excellent rating — this time our experience was even better. The service was excellent, and the food just as good. The extremely friendly staff made it possible for us to enjoy a relaxed and outstanding dinner. We chose the 3-course menu with an additional lobster dish, and it was more than enough for us — the dishes were flawless and perfectly executed. The wonderful young waitress gave us excellent wine recommendations, and when we were choosing what to eat, we also enjoyed some freshly prepared lobster. For the amuse-bouche, aperitif, 3-course menu (we each chose different dishes so we could try as many as possible), lobster dish, wine pairing, and digestif, we paid €199.50. A fair price. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone in Pula looking for a special culinary experience.

If you're in Pula and love seafood, this restaurant is an absolute must. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the scent of the sea in the air and a view that made the experience even more special. The fish was unbelievably fresh and perfectly cooked — each bite was bursting with flavor. You could truly taste the quality and care that went into every dish. The octopus was tender, the brancin was flaky and juicy, and the presentation was just as beautiful as the food itself. And let’s talk about the wine — wow. The local selection was exceptional, pairing so well with the meal that it elevated everything to the next level. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and recommended the perfect bottle to complement our dishes. Service was attentive but never intrusive, and the passion for good food and hospitality really shined through. This was more than just a meal — it was a highlight of our trip. I can't recommend it enough. If you’re in Pula and want an unforgettable culinary experience, this is the place.

This place is great for brunch, as it offers a variety of salads and sandwiches. I've tried the falafel wrap and it was delicious, filled with lots of vegetables and salad. The service is friendly and talkative, and the food is quickly served and always fresh. The only downside is that the restaurant has relatively few seats, so you may prefer to take your food away instead. Overall, this place is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for some good brunch options!

A small places with 5-6 chairs along the wall, food is fresh and very tasty ( even our avocado 🥑 checken wrap didn't have any avocado... we still liked it very much). Great for fresh light health food. If you have only small hunger this is a great place for you since you can order small or big sized dish. It would be better if they also can sell hummus as a dip, so far it's always in a big bread more as a sandwich.

Very good and honest cuisine, the place has been going for decades already and it’s always trusted. They know what they do and they do it well, at very good prices, with large portions and proper “restaurant service”. This week they were serving as a dessert for the day gnocchi with plums, and I swear they were as good as my mother in law’s. Does not get better praise than that!

Food was great - we’ve had scallops as a starter and then shared the tris di calamari which was delicious. However the service was mediocre. Waiter did not really pay attention and was very often uncommunicative and seemingly unwelcoming. Wait time was long, even for getting the receipt and getting change we’ve had to wait some time. We had to pay 3€ for bread that we didn’t order, which was brought at the start (which we thought was complementary, like it usually is).

Bonaca Restaurant & Lounge Bar offers a stunning view of the Adriatic Sea, making it a unique dining experience in Pula. Located in the Verudela complex, this restaurant serves fresh Mediterranean specialties such as grilled lobster and classic steak. The modern, all-glass venue provides excellent cocktails, tasty bites, live music, and space for group gatherings. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the sea and beach while savoring their meals.
A quiet, delicious lunch overlooking the sea. I had the white fish of the day, my wife (vegetarian) had the hummus, and we shared a couple of vegetable sides. All was excellent, and despite the other reviews, the service was also excellent - attentive but not in your face - The perfect balance. Our dog was also welcomed and cared for... The desserts were a lovely way to end the meal... Honestly, I can't fault it in any way - the view alone is worth 3 stars, but the whole experience merits 5...

True Oasis on the Coast ​A short, rural walk on a blistering hot day brought us to what felt like a little oasis. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely welcome that matched the incredible views. The restaurant is built into the cliffside, with steps leading down to a flat rock beach. Terraces on numerous levels that offer plenty of space to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. ​On our first visit, we only stopped by for drinks. We were immediately taken with the atmosphere, and the dishes we saw coming out of the kitchen looked so appealing that we knew we had to return for a proper meal. ​We returned on a busy Sunday evening without a reservation, and after a short wait, a table was found for us. It was clear the service was busy, so a bit of patience was needed, but with views like these and in such a calming environment, it was easy to just sit back and enjoy the moment. The atmosphere is quiet and low-volume, with no background music. The only sound is the gentle lapping of waves against the rocks below, which creates a truly serene dining experience. ​The food did not disappoint. The steak and the fish of the day were superb. Children's menu is limited but extremely well prepared at around €11. Dress is smarter than most other resturants nearby and with the menu €28 to €48 for a main, but is 100% worth it With people smiling everywhere tells us Bonaca has got it right.

It's very nice. Not a particular ambient, being in a mall, it is quite a simple restaurant, but the pizza is great and interesting - some flavours we've never tried before. If you like very traditional pizza you might not be as interested, or take the capricciosa, but if you are up for experimenting with taste, take one of the Italian specialties - mortadela salami and pistachio pesto.

Great pizza! We asked for double prosciutto and they gave us a LOT of prosciutto so that was very much appreciated. Good fluffy dough, I believe it’s sourdough as well, good amount of choice but not overwhelming. It did take quite long to come, nearly an hour, which for a place that small was a bit of a surprise. However if you’re not in a rush then it doesn’t matter. It’s convenient next to the mall too.

Very bad experienced. The lady waitress with the Red Hair was not approachable at all. She gave me wrong order of pizza. The coffee was served cold. She was mad when I ask for ice. She never go back in the table to check if everything is fine. The bill is takes time to come even the restaurant is not that busy. No condiments served. She was totally rude and she never come back in my table. I ask for the bill 3x and she ignored me. And she let me wait inside to pay You need to improve your Guest service. Not value for money. Not recommended. Thank you for the Guy who assisted me so I can pay I bill.Thank you brother

Pizza restaurant
Pizzeria Little Red Rooster is a popular counter-serve chain known for its specialty in roast chicken, burgers, chips, and salads. In addition to these offerings, the restaurant also serves coffee, breakfast items, and delectable pizzas. Despite being located on a bustling tourist-filled main street, it's often overlooked by many visitors. However, this hidden gem offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff and owners.
Delicious pizzeria located on one of the lovely old town streets. The man who took our order (probably the owner) was very friendly and gave the place a special vibe. A simple spot, but with a lot of charm!

The pizza looks average, but tastes amazing. The sauce has a little spice kick to it and really made this pizza great. The service was quick and they are dog friendly. Highly suggest this unassuming pizza place for a quick bite!

Great breakfast! I had the red rooster but they have more varieties. They all come with coffee/tea and some orange juice. I think it’s a great combo for the price! And the place is nice, the music is cool and the staff are very kind. I recommend it 100%!

Today I visited this amazing, picturesque place that my wife and I stumbled upon, and it really surprised me. The prices were very reasonable, the pizza was excellent, and the service was absolutely wonderful. The gentleman was very helpful, kind, and most importantly, humble. I recommend it with all my heart and would love to come back next time.

Great place to have a nice and big breakfast before a day at the beach. For about 10 euros, you get a meal including a cappuccino and fresh squeezed orange juice. The service was very friendly and attentive. Loved the decor and feel inside.

Good pizzas and good services! All the pizzas had the same prices and the weren’t many options on the menu, two good signs for a proper pizzeria! They had some breakfast dishes that seem to be served all day long and some Bosnian desserts. The interior was cozy even though the space and the dining tables were small. It’s overall perfect combination of Italy and Bosnia, in the heart of Pula!

Haven't tried the Cocktails because they seemed to be overpriced compared to their other local drinks. We tried the local malvazia and local muscat. Both were really good!

We were looking for another restaurant and had trouble finding it, so ended up here instead. Felt like we were eating out of someone's house and served by a grandma, which sounds like it might be nice. However, it felt very disorganized. We weren't even offered water. The food was just mediocre. And it was expensive.

Perfect hidden restaurant with very good prices for the sea food. We found it on our way to another restaurant which was rated with 5* but when we saw the waiter there we turned out and tried this Romantic Alley and it was the best decission! They have a daily menu (you can choose either fish menu or meat menu: soup,main course and desert). We had fish menu - they are offering fried sea food with french fries but we asked if it’s possible to make it grilled and with salad and there was no problem with that at all. Also we wanted a beer but draft, first we ordered Karlovačko but it was only in a bottle and the waitress was also so kind and told us she will bring us draft beer - it wasn ´t a problem either!😍 Overall we paid (for 2 menus,2 draft beers and 2 coffees with milk) almost 60€ what is a perfect price nowadays in Croatia. The food and the service was excellent!!!

Really nice little cafe/bar which has a hidden gem of a roof terrace overlooking the arena. We visited during daytime, and were the only ones there. I feel it could be advertised more that the place has a beautiful roof terrace, as its easy to walk past without noticing. The barman was very friendly, and offered suggestions re: cocktails. Every cocktail was great. View was great from the terrace and I'd imagine it's really nice at night. Lacking a bit in atmosphere due to time of day and lack of customers however to be expected during off-peak season and daytime. We didn't eat here so can't comment on food.

Came in for a hot chocolate to escape the rain, but ended up staying the rest of the night with many more cocktails! The rooftop bar was lovely when the sun peeked out at golden hour, and the place transformed into an elegant bar by night.

I would highly reccomend this to anyone visiting Pula and we are looking forward to our next visit again.

Everyone there is smiling – both the staff and the visitors. We met some wonderful people there 🙂. Best regards from Poland 👋🤝 P.S. Your Croatian version of an Americano, for Polish visitors, is the best in the region 🫶.

interior without identity, discreet service, poured drinks for everyone except one. The octopus with tentacles too long and hard. They asked us to taste their Croatian oil but one of the two bottles at the table was empty. The room was set up for breakfast, too bad we were supposed to have dinner on the night of August 15th. The breakfast refrigerators were behind the tables. The only positive note, the little oil in the bottle was very good, even the bread. It was supposed to be a great dinner and with a great chef in the kitchen, but it was a disaster. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️

Monachus Distillery, located at the tip of the Istrian peninsula, is a sustainable distillery founded by a husband and wife. Their main product is gin, but they also offer other distilled spirits for tasting. The design of their bottles caught the attention of many visitors, drawing them to this unique distillery. Visitors can take a behind-the-scenes look at gin distilling and learn about the history of gin and the story behind Monachus Distillery.
I found out about Monachus on a design blog and immediately fell in love with the design of their bottles. So while on my trip to Croatia I knew I had to visit the Distillery. Before the tasting, we got behind the scene look of gin distilling, and along the way, we learned about the history of gin, and the story of Monachus Distillery. Anja & Luka were wonderful hosts, ready to answer any questions we had, and you can really tell that they poured their hearts into creating the distillery and the spirits. The gin, which is made from local ingredients that grow on the Istrian peninsula, was delicious and the other spirits we have tried were just as good. If you find yourself on Istria I highly recommend you visit the distillery and I assure you after the tasting you will want to bring some bottles home just as we did. Thank you again to Anja & Luka, we really had a great time. Hopefully, we will be back for some more :D.

Finding Monachus distillery at the doorstep of our holliday home was a true revelation. It is not only for their well thought recepies and meticulously distilled spirits - they are one of a kind, but they encompass the wholistic concepts of locally and ecologically sourced ingridients, use recyclable materials, and follow the zero waste idea too. And this means a lot, especially placed in a magnificent nature of Cape Kamenjak, the home of the sun, sea, wind and herbs. Their gins (and other spirits) in the nature of Kamenjak, presented with love by charming owners Anja and Luka, please all of your senses. The beauty is that you can relive all that little moments again and again once back home ;) Would definitely recommend to visit if you are in the vicinity!

By far the best gin I've ever had with some amazing other spirits. I wouldn't say I was a gin drinker but after having a taste Monachus Gin at a cafe bar I was sold. One of the only gins I'd drink straight. I went over to their craft distillery in Premantura with my father (a retired sommelier from New York) to have a tasting with a bit of history and a walk through the distilling process. We were both blown away by everything there - it's now my father's favorite gin too. I highly recommend it. A big thank you to Anja & Luka - we are looking forward to more.

The attentive service and complimentary honey liquor add to the overall wonderful dining experience.
We just had dinner here and it was above and beyond what we were expecting. We had a few dinners in Pula that were just okay but this was amazing. Arian gave excellent service while handling a huge section and a wait. We tried the scallops and local cheese for an appetizer. The scallops were perfectly prepared and the cheese was all local. Now for the main dishes. My better half had the lamb. Completely drool worthy, while I on the other hand had the truffle steak with the hand made pasta. Look no further! This was the best steak I have ever had. If we lived here we would come every week. The biggest issue is now I feel like I need truffles in every thing!

We visited this restaurant twice whilst on a city break to Pula. The staff are polite, welcoming and efficient. The first night we had seafood which was outstanding and amongst the best we’ve had anywhere in the world. The second night we had steak - perfection.

We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, if you are in Pula you MUST visit. The honey liquor is a must. Thank you for two wonderful evenings in your family run restaurant.

I can order expensive food. But this particular instance, the food was average, and the attitude of my service was like to a poor man. I wanted to have steak maybe, but settled for a starter and shrimps first. The vibe I got from the service was that of an annoyance. A little warmth towards guests goes an long way.

Agrippina Street Food is a cozy place with fantastic service that offers a variety of delicious options. The menu includes vegan burgers and tacos, as well as fries with cheese and truffles that are described as out of this world. Customers have praised the excellent burgers and salads, emphasizing the high quality of the food. Some highlights include the tuna tartare, which is highly recommended, and the soft fish steak inside the burger.
For shorthand: 100% recommend. Been there twice - both times it was absolutely brilliant. Personally I can recommend the Ox burger (exquisite) and Cheesy Claudius. Phenomenal taste, portion size is enough even for the biggest chowhounds! Smiling, helpful and patient staff. The prices are also fully justified for the quality provided and location.

A Vibrant Feast at Superb Agrippina ​If you’re looking for a restaurant that’s buzzing with energy and flavor, put Agrippina at the top of your list. This place is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the incredible atmosphere—it's trendy, it's cool, and it's popular for a reason. ​Yes, you'll likely have to queue, but don't let that deter you. The line is a testament to the restaurant's popularity, and every minute of the wait is absolutely worth it. The decor is fantastic, with a design that's both modern and inviting. With only outside seating available giving you the vibrant energy of the busy pedestrian street. ​The service is just as impressive as the atmosphere. Despite how busy it gets, the staff is attentive and friendly, making sure you feel well-cared for. But the true star of the show is the food. They claim to have the best burgers around, and they absolutely deliver. Each bite is a testament to their dedication to quality, and for a main course price of roughly 16 to 21 euros, it feels like a steal for the quality you're getting. ​Superb Agrippina is the kind of place you have to make a point of visiting. It's a lively spot with a phenomenal vibe, top-tier food, and service that makes you want to come back again and again.

A superb culinary experience in the right location and great service. We both wanted something tasty and easy and this turned out to be perfect. The owner was such a cool guy, offered lots of great special hot sauces and took time to discuss our Croatian experience, which, once again, has been exceptional in every way. A great restaurant, big thanks to all the staff! Highly recommended if you want a feast of a burger with plenty of extras and a lovely cold beer.

What an amazing place! We were there with two adults and a kid. We were all more than satisfied with our food. Taste, fresh and direct from the grill. The staff is very welcoming. But if you want to make sure you have table, make a reservation upfront a day before.

We were here twice and the food was astonishing. I suggest to book before 7:00 pm to skip the queue, after that time you can't book and you have to do the queue at the entrance (I'm writing this review in Summer, I don't know if you can book after the 7:00 pm in other seasons). The hamburgers and tacos were absolutely delicious and incredibly satisfying. Each one was served with a side of fries. But the real surprise of the meal was the apple pie. It was, hands down, the best I've ever tasted, even if you're full, you have to order it. It's absolutely worth every bite and you won't regret it.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Agrippina Street Food, and I can confidently say it was a standout experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional—fast, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The staff managed to balance efficiency with warmth, making the entire visit feel both smooth and personal. As for the food, it was beautifully presented, almost too pretty to eat (but of course, I did!). Every dish that came out of the kitchen looked thoughtfully plated and vibrant, with a clear attention to detail that you don’t always expect from a street food concept. But it wasn’t just the looks—the flavors matched the presentation. Bold, fresh, and incredibly satisfying, each bite was a reminder of how great street food can be when done right. It’s clear the team at Agrippina takes pride in both their craft and customer experience. If you’re in the area and looking for a quick bite that doesn’t compromise on quality or service, Agrippina Street Food is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

We came here twice this past week. Everything was amazing, the staff was extremely kind and helpful, and the food was absolutely fantastic, literally the best burgers I have ever had! The burgers are big and filling and each comes with fries and a sauce of your choice. I also recommend to buy their apple pie, it’s really astonishing! If you visit Pula I strongly recommend to come here, it’s really worth it!

Best meal we’ve had in years. Just let Sara take care of everything. We had our own ideas about what to order but she made suggestions for a much more memorable meal. The seafood is so fresh! Starting with the best calamari complimented by the fish combination appetizer followed by the fig wrapped delectable Branzin and the best seafood pasta I think I’ve had… this meal was incredible. Save room for dessert! We’ll be back!!!

Every moment since we approached this place was absolutely perfect. The people, the food, and the view. The service was attentive but not too attentive. They were warm and kind. It’s what ultimately made us decide to eat here. The food was just a plus. I recommend the homemade pasta, the ćevapi, and the homemade iced tea.

Piazza Nove was fantastic! Our server Sara provided excellent service and helped us choose the absolute best dish. First class fish for the day (Sea bass) was incredibly fresh and flavourful. Seasonal vegetables were well seasoned and grilled, calamari, king prawns and shrimp were perfectly cooked. Panna Cotta was lifechanging A little bit pricy, but worth it for the meal.

Mediterraneo is a restaurant in Pula that serves up some of the best seafood dishes around. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is great - perfect for a relaxing meal after a day of exploring the city. The prices are also reasonable, making it a great option for those on a budget as well.
This is right in the main shopping strip in Pula. We sat outside and got to admire the beauty of it all as our first meal in the country. What a great pick! The servers were some of the friendliest of our entire trip. They had fantastic food and at the end of the dinner they treated us to a round of Istria’s own blueberry liquor shots. It was actually my favorite alcohol tasting while in the country. 10/10 if I make it back to the country I will eat here again.

Mediteraneo in Pula offers a pleasant dining experience with delicious food and a great central location, perfect for enjoying a meal close to the city’s main attractions. The wait time for food was relatively short, which added to the overall positive impression. The dishes were well-presented and flavorful. The staff, while friendly, seemed a bit disoriented at times and there were a few mix-ups with the orders. However, to our surprise and delight, we were offered a complimentary blueberry liqueur at the end of the meal, which was both tasty and a thoughtful gesture that left a great final impression.

This is the best service ever in the food industry. The server Eddie was phenomenal and offered food selections that were not on the menu. He was extremely knowledgeable, polite, patient, and professional. If you are visiting Croatia, this is the best spot to lounge and take a load off your feet. To all Jamaicans and my Caribbean crew, please try the Spicy Ginger Beer-SUPERB❤️❤️❤️’! 52100 Pula

We had dinner in another restaurant before, which was okay, and then got dessert here in Mediterraneo. I ordered one chocolate cake and one crêpe. The chocolate cake was absolutely amazing! We also checked the menu and saw the main dishes. From what we saw on the menu and also on the neighbors’ tables, we were so impressed that we will come back in a few days again. I can really recommend this place for any meal. Their chefs and also service are very good, and the restaurant itself is also very nice to sit in. Well done!

As a vegan, the bulgur meal was a pleasant surprise in the heart of Pula. The presentation was lovely and the portion was very filling. Finding vegan food in Pula has been quite difficult, but the staff were very helpful and there were other options on the menu! We also got chips on the side which were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Staff was unfriendly. They were impatient and didn’t want to wait for everyone to go through the menu. Some dishes on the menu weren’t available at all. Food was good but nothing special. But to be fair, we didn’t try the seafood (what’s supposed to be their specialty). The drinks were awful (but we only tried the mojito). The food was fair priced, but they charged 2€ for ketchup and 5€ for water. It was not possible to pay separately!!

A relaxed waterfront destination featuring traditional regional fare and terrace seating. The menu features a variety of seafood, Mediterranean, European and Croatian cuisine. The restaurant also offers lunch and dinner service as well as late night options. Reservations are recommended, and there is outdoor seating available. The restaurant serves alcohol, has a full bar and accepts credit cards.
I had the mussels as starter with a friend. It was amazing, the sauce was great and no mussels were closed. Also the grilled squids and grilled vegetables were great.

Given the relatively high price, I had quite high expectations for this restaurant. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to them. To start with the positive: the service was actually very good. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening, which I really appreciated. However, when it came to the food, I was left disappointed. The dishes were just not as impressive as I had hoped — both in terms of flavor and presentation. For the price, I expected something more refined and memorable. Instead, the food felt rather average and lacked that extra something that makes a meal truly special. In short, while the service was commendable, the food simply didn't meet the high expectations set by the pricing. A disappointing experience overall, unfortunately.

Totally overpriced. Waiters are not friendly and look like they don't feel like it to work. Families with small children are also not welcome. Simple main courses 21€ without side dish. Side dishes such as fries have to be ordered separately for €6 or salad for €10. Wine costs 5€ for 100ml. Not recommended. Tourist rip-off. Better to eat outside the old town.

So we were hungry and waiting for a concert nearby, so we walked in to this restaurant. The staff were very polite and friendly, no issues at all. The food was insanely flavorful and fresh. The prices are a bit higher than usual but thats why you must pay more money for more quality food. Extremely recommended for dinners.

I had mixed feelings about this restaurant. The steak was excellent – perfectly cooked and made with high-quality meat. However, the carbonara was disappointing. While the ingredients seemed fresh, the dish lacked proper texture and was almost completely flavorless. Great place for meat lovers, but I wouldn’t recommend the pasta based on this experience.

Kod Kadre is located on a peaceful street near the Pula Arena. They serve generous portions of traditional Balkan meat dishes, accompanied by various accompaniments. While their prices may be slightly higher compared to local corner grills, customers can expect better quality in terms of salads, ajvar, and overall comfort. Additionally, their menu offers a wider selection including schnitzel and mixed grill options. The restaurant provides wheelchair accessibility and outdoor seating as well as takeout services.
Excellent restaurant! The food is great and the stuff is awesome. The prices are adjusted to reality, between 10 to 15€. Of all the places to eat that I visited in Pula this one is the best!

The food was great, very tasty meat, juicy chicken. We ate here twice during our stay and both times they were super consistent. The service was very good as well. The only comment that I have is the terrace that looked very sterile; You could add some plants and warm lights just to make it look more atmospheric.

We walked in with high hopes since this is suppose to be the number one Čevapi in Pula. After reviewing several Čevapi places throughout croatia this ranks fairly high. First, the meat was good really good. Ranks among the top we’ve tried. Maybe slightly more heat into the Čevapi to make number 1. Second, The bread. We were dissatisfied of the bread. It was a bit to soft on the brink of being soggy. What makes up for it is that the kind tattooed waitress offered to redeem the bread with new bread. + for this. Third, The onion. The onion was good but it could be slightly larger pieces to better combine the Čevapi. To summarize this Čevapi experience at Kod Kadre. The service was really good, price was right but the onion and the bread could improve slightly to reach a 5 star. If I could give 4.5 I would. Here on google I will round it up to a 5.

Simple but delicious. Great place just above the Pula Arena. Huge outside terrace, loads of space, but regardless it’s always packed with people which is a great sign! The Cevapcici are amazing, so is the bread and the mixed grill. Would come here at least once a week for a big protein heavy post workout meal.

Restoran Kuglana in Pula offers a wide variety of delicious food options, including an impressive fish plate for two and great pizzas. The prices are fair, and the restaurant's location with a terrace adds to its charm. The staff is known for being polite and attentive. While it may be located within a hotel complex, the quality of the food makes up for it. Dishes like Vongole and Frutti di mare are particularly recommended for their generous portions and reasonable prices.
We went here for dinner multiple times during, good service and good meals. The meals are quite large for the price. It can take a bit longer to receive the bill but everything else was perfect.

We visited the restaurant immediately after arriving at the accommodation. The first thing that surprised us was the Grandhotel-like prices. It doesn't matter. We ordered food, they brought us everything except the lasagna. After asking, the waiter told us that there is no lasagna, but it is here, his brain is not working, so he forgot to tell us. We gave them a second chance for the evening. Unfortunately, the service was wrong again, we waited for a long time for food and payment for almost an hour! Unacceptable. We do not recommend!

This was some of the worst food we had all holiday, not only is it overpriced but we came away feeling ill after. I ordered a pizza that was swimming in oil for no reason (I appreciate pizza is a greasy food but this was excessive) my partner ordered the mixed grill which lacked any form of seasoning. The saving grace of this place is the servers both were really lovely and chatty- the cocktails were really yummy also and is the only reason this place gets a 2 star
Maisie H — Google review
This place is okay overall. The biggest advantage is that it’s open very late, unlike most places around, which is convenient. The food is ok - big portions, a good selection of dishes, and a variety of wines and cocktails. However, the service is extremely slow. We waited about 40 minutes just to get menus, even though the place wasn’t busy. It then took almost another 30 minutes to order, and around 40 minutes more to receive the check and pay - and that was after asking twice. The waiters themselves are friendly and kind, but I honestly don’t understand why everything takes so long, especially when it wasn’t even the busy season and there were plenty of staff around. If you’re looking for a quick bite, this is definitely not the place. But if you don’t mind waiting and want a late-night option, it might work for you.
Nataliia — Google review
The food is quiet good, however the service is painfully slow. I only managed to get the bill on one night after asking 3 times, waiting half an hour and telling them I would be leaving if they didn't take my payment. As I type I have been seated, they have taken to order from a table that turned up 5 minutes after us, the waitress has taken our order only after we asked the waiter once, then tried to order inside. To top off the service she has gone from our table to 3 other tables that arrived after us taking their orders. It's painful to endure such poor service. I only recommend this as a last resort.
Tim T — Google review
We walked out of this place twice. First time it was busy and chaotic due to poor weather. We were seated quickly but after 30+ mins had not even been offered drinks so chose to leave. Decided to give benefit of the doubt and returned on a Friday night when we could sit outside. Were served relatively promptly but similar to another review here, paying the bill was an exhausting, painful experience. Asked two separate people for the bill, after 15 mins it arrived but without the card machine. After 30+ mins of being unable to pay my partner went to get some cash so that we could finally pay and leave. On top of this the food is mediocre and communication between the staff seems terrible, perhaps more staff are needed.
