  • 1. Konoba Batelina

    $$

    This quirky innovative restaurant is considered by many locals—and foodies around the world—to be the best seafood restaurant in Croatia. Run by a family of fishermen, Batelina is popular for its fresh-caught but totally delicious appetizers; specialties include fish tripe brodetto, scampi risotto, shark-liver pâté, bonito tartare, cuttlefish stew, and tuna carpaccio. The best way to experience Batelina's creative cuisine is to sample many of its unique tapas-style dishes. Don't go by the menu: just ask for a little bit of everything and let the chef be creative.

  • 2. Street Food Two

    $

    This fast food shack offers some of the most mouthwatering food in Pula, from modern takes on Istrian favorites to vegan plates of international flavors not easily found in the city. The small menu changes often, but you may enjoy a vegan poke bowl, chicken burritos, shrimp risotto, gluten-free panko tofu, and endless delicious sandwiches, pasta, stews, and smoothies. There are only four tables outside and four tiny tables inside so seats fill up fast, and they regularly sell out of items on the high-class street food menu. It's open until 10 pm in summer, but it's best to come for an early lunch to get a table. Takeaway also works well, and you can order by phone.

  • 3. Alla Becaccia

    $$

    Located in the village of Valbandon, close to Fažana, Alla Becaccia offers hearty meat dishes with an emphasis on game—the owner is a hunter. A huge fireplace dominates the dining room in the simple but tasteful interior, and the kitchen door is always open. There is a covered terrace for dining alfresco and a nice garden and play area for kids. Venison, snipe, woodcock, and wild boar are often on the menu, and regulars rave about the housemade pasta and sausages. Other dishes include T-bone steak from Istrian ox (Boškarin), various risottos, and excellent Istrian prosciutto.

  • 4. Café Galerija Cvajner

    $

    Stop at the chic but unpretentious Café Galerija Cvajner for morning coffee or an evening aperitif. Inside, contemporary art and minimalist boho-style furniture play off frescoes uncovered during restoration, and outdoor tables offer great views of the Forum square. Sip kuhano vino (mulled wine) from front-row seats to Advent concerts, light shows, and a holiday skating rink.

  • 5. Farabuto

    $

    In residential Pula, far from tourist attractions, Farabuto has a short menu of fresh and tasty seafood and just a few meat and vegetarian dishes, all based on what's available from Pula’s green and fish markets. The modern and innovative cuisine is well presented in Farabuto's small cozy interior or on the terrace. Service is friendly but can be slow when the restaurant gets crowded in summer. Regulars rave about the selection of cold seafood crudo. Other selections include homemade ravioli with Adriatic scampi, seafood risotto, and local fish like monkfish, branzino, tuna, and shark.

  • 6. Jupiter

    $

    Located on a quiet street a couple of blocks from the Forum, this is Pula's premier place for casual budget-friendly Italian fare. Try any of its more than 20 types of wood-fired pizza, grilled meats like ćevapi (small minced-meat sausages), or a plate of homestyle pasta as you sip a glass of house red wine at one of the rustic wooden tables on the rear terrace. It's ideal for families and large groups, with ample indoor and outdoor space.

  • 7. Trattoria Vodnjanka

    $

    One of the few restaurants in downtown Pula offering honest and authentic Croatian dishes, no-frills Vodnjanka is a short walk from the farmers’ market. Lunch is the best time to enjoy its flavorful unpretentious home-cooked dishes—a truly local experience that brings back the forgotten flavors of old times. Many chefs and restaurateurs in Istria make their way here for lunch before heading to their own restaurants. Depending on the season, dishes may include homemade gnocchi, meatballs, cod in tomato sauce, roasted veal, dandelion with hard-boiled eggs, and grilled sardines—the dishes Istrian grannies make.
