1. Baracuda
$$ | |Many of the yachts that line the harbor unload their human cargo at this small restaurant, which enjoys a big reputation for fresh fish dinners. Tuna carpaccio, shark on the grill, and lobster na buzaru (cooked with wine) are all great. Carnivores will be pleased with a couple of land-based courses as well. The restaurant's terrace is lively and leafy. Baracuda's size, matched with its good name, makes an early arrival or a reservation advisable.
Priko 31, Mali Lošinj, Primorsko-Goranska, 51550, Croatia051-233–309Known For
- Fresh fish and seafood

2. Eva
$$ | |This modern Alpine-style restaurant is a breath of fresh air, thanks to its contemporary versions of traditional favorites including goulash, bear stew, grilled venison steaks, and hunter's dumplings. All are served in an elegant contemporary setting in a lush green forest environment. If you can, try the fried frog legs, venison risotto, or trout crumble, and finish with whatever flavor of homemade strudel they're baking that day.
Gorski Raj 4, Delnice, Primorsko-Goranska, 51316, Croatia051-270–500Known For
- Modern takes on local game
- Forest setting
- Homemade strudel for dessert

3. Ganeum
$$ | |This casual fine-dining experience is as relaxed and intimate as it is an enjoyable gourmet meal. When choosing the tasting menu, it is not hard to detect the passion for quality that has been invested into the selection of the produce and the selection of wines. The precision with which the food is prepared, such as marinated shrimp tails on a slice of Učka skut (ricotta-like cheese) served on a stone plate with dehydrated olives, reminds us of why we go out to eat. It is not just to eat, but in order to enjoy excellent food that has been prepared by experienced and masterful chefs.
Stari Grad 5, 51415, Croatia051-294-444Known For

4. Konoba Fiume
$$ | |Tucked away in an alley right next to Rijeka's fish market, quaint Fiume fills with locals at lunchtime but closes early (by 6 pm). Unpretentious and friendly with a small streetside terrace, the tavern serves mostly seafood but also meat and pasta dishes. Prices are pleasantly affordable, and it's an atmospheric spot for the family to enjoy.

5. Konoba Rab
$$ | |Tucked away in a narrow side street between Srednja and Gornja in Rab Town, this konoba is warm and inviting, with exposed-stone walls, traditional decor, and rustic furniture. Grilled fish and meat are the house specialties, and the menu offers a good choice of pastas and risotto.

6. Konoba Valle Losca
$$ | |In the neighborly village of Volosko, where old stone houses are fixed precariously close to one another and give shape to the one road, this restaurant justifies spending an afternoon or evening in a setting that is not to be missed. The intimate artistic atmosphere tells you everything you need to know about the owners and how sincere they are about sharing good food, much of which is produced on their family farm in Istria. Don't forget to take home a pint or two of their homemade pistachio or hazelnut gelato.
Andrije Štangera 2, 51410, Croatia095-580–3757Known For
- Intimate communal dining experience
- Good food at a good price
- Homemade ice cream

Rate Includes: Closed Mon. -
7. Nada
$$ | |Many locals consider Nada's outdoor terrace the best place to enjoy a glass of crisp Žlahtina wine, island cheeses, seafood crudo, and homemade bread on a late summer afternoon. The sweeping views from its cliffside perch are magnificent and the homemade wines are refreshing. Just across the street, the main restaurant offers a sophisticated indoor seating area and a front terrace lined with traditional wooden tables. But skip those and head to the top-tiered terraces, where views over the sea under billowing white sailcloth add an unbeatable level of romance. Don't skip the seafood risotto, tuna tartare, and šurlice with mussels.
Glavača 22, Vrbnik, Primorsko-Goranska, 51516, Croatia051-857–065Known For
- Excellent seafood dishes
- Cheese platters, prosciutto, and wine
- Cliffside terrace ideal for aperitivo

Rate Includes: Closed Nov.–Easter, Reservations essential -
8. Rivica
$$ | |This classic seafood restaurant has a long tradition of superior service and sophisticated dishes but lacks much of the pretense usually attached to such accolades. This is not a restaurant that rests on its past laurels, as is clear from the modern menu additions like the Tuna 2F, a fresh-fusion cold starter tuna tartare with sashimi and chips, or the duck mousse with caramelized onions on toast. The chef is clearly striving to ensure that the restaurant stays relevant by serving not just the traditional fresh fish classics that have won over diners in the past.
Ribarska Obala 13, Njivice, Primorsko-Goranska, 51512, Croatia051-846–101Known For
- Grilled lobster and crayfish
- Foie gras and duck fillet
- Warm professional staff

Rate Includes: Closed Dec.–Mar., Reservations essential -
9. Velum
$$ | |This family-owned restaurant offers regional and local Rab specialties, such as seafood risotto, homemade pasta with mussels and shrimp, seafood crudo, grilled meats, and locally caught fish. All are served with a friendly welcoming attitude in a cool modern environment.
Palit 71, Rab, Primorsko-Goranska, 51280, Croatia051-774–855Known For
- Perfect homemade chocolate cake for dessert
- Excellent grilled meat platter for two

-
10. Žal
$$ | |If you ask locals where to go on Krk for incredible seafood in a scenic setting, you'll hear this restaurant recommended over and over again. Located right on the water in the small fishing village of Klimno (the north end of the island), this family-run establishment combines delicious traditional dishes like whole brancin (sea bass), slow-roasted u soli (under salt), and šurlice with Kvarner scampi with gorgeous seaside views. Tables are right on the quay, and many diners arrive by yacht. Best to reserve a table, particularly if you want to dine during sunset (and you do).
Klimno 44, 51514, Croatia051-853–142Known For
- Fresh whole fish
- Quayside setting perfect for sunset dining
- Traditional island specialties

11. Bistro Mala Riba
$$ | |This cheerful bistro offers a delicious lineup of Kvarner-style tapas that are best enjoyed on the pleasant outdoor terrace. Seafood lovers will have a hard time choosing between menu items—including assorted fish crudo, sardines marinated in lemon juice, octopus salad, sea-snail salad, fried olives, barley, and squid stew—and will definitely find themselves coming back for more.
Ulica 43 Istarske Divizije 22A, Opatija, Primorsko-Goranska, 51211, Croatia051-277–945Known For
- Kvarner-style seafood tapas
- Bright and trendy atmosphere

12. Bora Bar
$$ | |Creative Italian dishes like tuna carpaccio with celery root and truffles are what you'll find at this friendly restaurant in Rovenska Bay. The dynamic owners—part Croatian, part expat—bring a joie de vivre and an eclectic style to the place that attracts curious foodies to their tables. Great attention is paid to the homemade pasta and local herbs, which are picked nearby and masterly infused in dishes by the Italian chef-owner.

13. Istranka
$$ | |With a delightful covered terrace flanked by a twisting tree, this small restaurant is Opatija's best option for fresh simply prepared seafood like grilled octopus and scampi risotto. But Istranka is also a winner for those who are not fans of seafood: taking its influence from the neighboring region of Istria, the menu features njoki, gnocchi with local ham and cheese, and of course, other local dishes with famous Istrian truffles.
Bože Milanovića 2, Opatija, Primorsko-Goranska, 51410, Croatia051-271–835Known For
- Traditional Istrian cuisine
- Affordable prices
- Friendly service

14. Jist
$$ | |This is the best—and perhaps the only—place to have steak in the entire Kvarner region. The high-quality and sophisticated menu offerings here are highly worthy of the extra effort it requires to find the restaurant. The location is well off the beaten path, but the lack of proximity to the center of Rijeka should not distract from the rare fine dining offered here. The name of the restaurant is local dialect for "eat."
Siroli 27, 51216, Croatia051-374–597Known For
- Steak tartare
- Degustation menu with wine pairings
- Duck prosciutto salad

Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. -
15. Konoba Santa Maria
$$ | |Although the medieval palace setting may feel a bit dramatic for some, others love sitting in this character-filled historic restaurant. You are perched in front of and upon massive wooden furniture in an old stone building in the heart of Old Town Rab. In the evening, the torch illuminations allow the background to take a backseat. Come for excellent grilled meat and fresh seafood dishes like shrimp risotto and mussels buzara.
Dinka Dokule 6, Rab, Primorsko-Goranska, 51280, Croatia051-724–196Known For
- Local seafood dishes
- Welcoming friendly service
- Medieval stone setting

Rate Includes: Closed Nov.–Apr. -
16. Konoba Tramerka
$$ | |Located in Volosko, just above the more famed Plavi Podrum, this small seafood tavern offers fresh creative seafood dishes in a cozy interior with exposed stone walls; a tiny streetside terrace has only a few tables. Locals rave about their bonito tartare, monkfish stew, and dirty calamari (baby calamari too small to be thoroughly cleaned before cooking, thus "dirty"). Order a little of everything for the ultimate seafood feast—just ask for smaller portions.
Dr. Andrije Mohorovičića 15, Volosko, Primorsko-Goranska, 51410, Croatia051-701–707Known For
- Fish tapas
- Creative food

17. Kukuriku
$$ | |This restaurant is quaintly situated in the heart of the old city of Kastav, which sits on a hill that overlooks the entire Kvarner Bay. In the same family for over a century, it has walked off with many an award for select offerings from the inland cuisine of Croatia. This restaurant is known for being one of the first gourmet eateries to offer a slow-food dining experience with wine pairings and a creative menu that takes great pride in heritage food. It is attached to the Kukuriku Boutique Hotel and has a quiet terrace tucked into the back side of the historical hilltop village.

18. Restaurant More
$$ | |This family-owned restaurant has an amazing location with seating right on the quay, especially attractive for those arriving by boat. The fish served here is caught by the owner, so the phrase "catch of the day" really means something. The upstairs terrace is more formal, and the slightly old-fashioned setting showcases the fantastic sea views and seafood specialties like lobster with pasta and truffles or fresh tuna carpaccio. The location and the superiority of the fish make this a romantic spot for a sunset meal.
Supetarska Draga 321, Supetarska Draga, Primorsko-Goranska, 51280, Croatia051-776–202Known For
- Lovely waterfront location
- Grilled shellfish
- Romantic setting

Rate Includes: Closed Oct.–Apr. -
19. Riva
$$ | |The colorful square on the edge of Cres Town Harbor is lined with many restaurants serving seafood, pasta, and risotto, and Riva is an excellent choice. Tables edge out onto the flagstones of the square, meaning the steady stream of strollers through the town will eye your plate with appreciative glances. A good selection of shellfish is up for grabs, including the seafood spaghetti, which is wonderful. It's a good idea to reserve a table in the evening.
Riva Creskih Kapetana 13, Cres Town, Primorsko-Goranska, 51557, Croatia051-571–107Known For
- Fresh seafood
- Harbor-view terrace
