The Best Restaurants in Pula
Surrounded by lush pine trees, you feel like you're in paradise close to the water. The kitchen serves beautifully prepared Mediterranean classics based on the best produce. Tuna tartare with lime and ginger or fish with pea cream and zucchini flowers provide explosions of flavour.
The family business has been focusing on hospitality and the genuine taste of Croatian specialities for 40 years. In addition to the seasonal daily specials, there are classics such as raw scampi with lemon and olive oil emulsion, Buzara-style mussels and grilled fish. Very good wines.
Located in the immediate vicinity of the amphitheatre, the kitchen prides itself on its selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes, but fish and meat lovers don't have to miss out either. The mixed appetizer platter is a success, with chard and potatoes paired with grilled tuna.
It is always a pleasure to return to this institution of classic flavours and warm hospitality. They grow their own potatoes, vegetables and olive oil. The catch of the day is accompanied by pasta, risotto and oven-baked fish, and the desserts are worth a sin.
In addition to the market, the atmospheric restaurant with its beautiful vaulted ceiling draws on the full range of products. Steak lovers will be delighted with the meat's fine roasted flavours. Octopus is braised in tomato sauce until tender, served with potatoes and grilled vegetables.
Sit comfortably on the terrace of this family-run restaurant and savour the fine wines or a cocktail. The menu ranges from steaks - with plenty of truffles sliced on top - to homemade pasta, seafood and fish.
Simple pleasures are the best, they say. Everything served in the cosy konoba has flavour: risotto with prawns and asparagus, homemade ravioli or tender braised veal. Creative salads and ham and cheese platters go well with the house bread.
Inconspicuous restaurant away from the centre, the terrace is cosy. The homemade white bread with a cheese crust goes well with small appetisers served on spoons. There are also delicious cold starters and fish soup. The delicately braised squid are excellent.
Clear shapes and pure design - this is how the modern restaurant right on the waterfront presents itself. The pasta variations are a gastronomic delight: with asparagus and bacon, with soft cheese and stewed tomatoes or with truffles. The braised octopus on creamy polenta is also delicious.
