The best restaurants in Zadar
In summer, the terrace of the historic building offers the best view of the sea. The creative, elaborate menu includes five or eight courses, and a vegetarian menu is also offered. The wine list includes some excellent Dalmatian wines.
A stylish restaurant, perfectly capturing the flavours of Dalmatian cuisine. But Chef Marijo Čepek takes it to a level all of his own. The play of colours in the fried fish fillet on a bed of creamy polenta with pea puree is certainly lovely.
This comfortable, smart hotel owned by the Pavin family is located directly on the sea and scores with its very attentive staff and fine restaurant. The appetizer plate with fish pâté and scampi carpaccio is outstanding in taste. Extensive wine list.
Modernly furnished restaurant, in the summer you sit on the large terrace. The extensive wine list offers the best accompaniments for grilled fish or meat dishes. The fish soup and triple chocolate cake are intensely aromatic.
The elegant setting is very appealing, and the cuisine can keep up well. The dishes are given a creative touch, such as the beef tartare with raspberry jelly pearls. The pasta with spicy octopus ragout is delicious. Very good value for money.
A charming, rustic and elegant ambience with a very friendly staff. The restaurant is also open in the winter and it's a popular meeting place for the locals. The pizza is excellent. Signature dish: the roasted ribs.
The friendly chef speaks German, and her staff is also on their toes. The portions are pleasantly sized, and the tender grilled steaks with roasted potatoes, the fluffy pizza, and the lasagna are especially recommended. The red house wine goes well with them.
Very popular with young guests. It's casual, the urban style with lots of design details is appealing. With a view of the sea, diners are delighted with giant burgers, but they're also tempted by light dishes like mushroom pâté with cheese sauce and walnuts or chicken fillet on a crisp salad.
A typical stone house on the coast, furnished in bistro style. The cuisine is proud of its intense flavours, preserving Dalmatian traditions. Tuna pâté and marinated anchovies are fine, as are the cevapcici and chocolate cake.
This nice pizzeria offers a successful mix of Dalmatian and Mediterranean cuisine. As the name suggests, the focus is on toasted white bread, topped with tuna and mascarpone. Gnocchi or grilled steaks are also on the menu.
"Tinel" means living room - and that applies to the cosy, youthful atmosphere. The menu has been designed accordingly. There is pizza as well as mussels, fish and steaks. The lamb crowns are tender. Regional wines, all also by the glass.
