21. Restaurant Marina
$$$$ | |On the first floor of what looks like a typical family house, this seafood restaurant has a surprisingly elegant and stylish interior. Husband-and-wife duo Marina and Davor don’t have a fixed menu; offerings are recited by the young owner. The food is delicious, fresh, and innovative, with four-, six-, and eight-course tasting menus to choose from. Don't confuse this place with a restaurant in the town's marina—Restaurant Marina is just across the street from the marina.

22. Restaurant Zigante
$$ | |This family-run restaurant/truffle shop is 3 km (2 miles) from Motovun and is not simply a gift shop filled with truffles, truffle products, olive oil, and wine (as with other branches in Motovun and Buzet). Here in their renovated villa, you can sit down for a delicious meal of gilthead carpaccio with white truffles (gilthead being a type of sea bream) or thin palačinke (crepes) filled with white-chocolate mousse and finely shaved black truffles. This place is warm, elegant, and modern, with wrought-iron streetlamp-style lights, stone walls, and wooden beams overhead. They even have cozy rooms to rent.

26. 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.

The locally inspired menu is extensive and includes specialties like nettle gnocchi with salmon, steak in black-truffle sauce, branzino al forno, and hand-rolled pasta with foraged mushrooms. A good choice of veggie dishes makes this place popular among vegans, too, as does the wisteria-covered terraces and everyday brunch options served in the summer season.
