Sunday Opening – restaurants in Primorsko-goranska županija
Located in the countryside with a view of the sea is this gem of fine dining. In the kitchen, the young chef Luka Goleš creates the finest Mediterranean cuisine, putting into play both the ingredients and the flavours of another era. Excellent wine pairings.
The elegant restaurant is located in a luxury hotel, from the terrace you have a spectacular view. The kitchen celebrates purity and the pure taste of local produce. You can also expect a lot from the wines.
This design hotel is perched on the coast like a kind of futuristic bird's nest. Tino Sinožić captures the region and its ingredients through his delicious dishes: fantastic shrimp scampi, asparagus, porcini mushrooms, oysters and fish.
On the plate comes the highest quality, only the catch of the day, sometimes even the hour. Dragan Jurdana skilfully reduces seafood and fish to their pure inherent taste. Sole is poached, accompanied by a broth of fins and skin, and there is no garnish.
A magical location, in the fairytale port of Volosko. Daniela Kramarić plays the perfect hostess and is also a wonderful sommelier. The plates are a delightful feast for the eyes and mouth. The Mediterranean cuisine, from the classic dishes to the creative, will bring a smile to your lips.
Perched high above the sea with a breathtaking view over the Kvarner Bay. Fish and shellfish come prepared in a classical and upscale fashion. If you're in the mood for meat, try the grilled lamb shank or the venison stew.
The tranquil mountain village of Kastav looks like something out of the Middle Ages. In the kitchen, Nenad Kukurin has passed the scepter to his son, who is fully committed to traditional dishes and flavours. Nenad still selects the wines.
Picture book konoba with a shady vine terrace, which is hot in the summer. The kind owner lovingly takes care of the guests, succeeding with raw fish starters, grilled calamari with a potato and vegetable side dish or pasta buzara.
The restaurant was completely rebuilt and shines in new splendour, matching the marina. The best view is from the huge terrace on the upper floor. The classics remain the same: marinated fish starters, grilled meats and homemade truffle pasta.
Fantastic location on a hillside, which gives a view over the whole bay. Under new management, chef Denis Beganović is still at work. His fine fish cuisine combines tradition and modernity. The pizza from the wood-fired oven is delicious.
The pretty rustic house with stone walls and wooden ceiling above the Volosko harbour is inviting, the wooden terrace is protected by tall trees. Many locals appreciate the Istrian cuisine with excellent fish and meat dishes.
A cosy terrace and a view of the harbour. The food is certainly a feast for the eyes. Wonderful starters: warm octopus salad and crostini with a tuna mousse. A large choice of fish served either fried or cooked in tomatoes and olives.
From the elevated terrace you can enjoy an excellent view of the main square and the sea. Black risotto is served in a large shell, grilled fish on chard and potatoes and pasta with ragu is a classic. Very fine dessert selection.
After a steep climb you are rewarded with an overwhelming view. Cooking is done according to traditional recipes and with regional produce. A successful start are ham and cheese platter and truffle pasta, squid from the peka and Štruklji are top.
A lovely and elegant restaurant with white and grey toned decor, and an airy feel under the covered terrace. The burgers and potato wedges entice the younger crowd, while the grilled meats delight with their mouth-watering aromas. The fish soup with mussels is also quite good.
The smart house with a stone terrace by the sea is a popular place to go, offering fine seafood cuisine with a creative touch, such as Parisian-style shrimp. For dessert, you'll be delighted with curd cheese or apple strudel. The wines are also very good.
Set in a beautiful pine forest, this restaurant, which has been around since 1972, is known for keeping to tradition and using old family recipes. Fish soup, crab salad, and lamb from the stone-oven stand out on the menu, as well as savoury crêpes filled with spinach and local cheese.
A little jewel hidden in a grove where it smells of pine trees. The staff are very friendly and recommend the right wines. You'll be spoiled with fresh fish, pâté on toast, risotto with raw scampi, and delicious desserts.
This countryside estate is a jewel inside and outside. The terrace with its pretty potted flowers is lovely. The team in the kitchen makes inspired and reinterpreted regional cuisine. High quality products, excellent meat dishes and a wonderful wine selection.
You sit romantically in a vault with a wooden ceiling that has aged gracefully. What goes on the plate is not decided until the fishermen deliver their catch in the morning. Tuna steak in sesame crust or mussels taste wonderful. Great ricotta pie.
