21. 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

22. 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

23. Konoba Belona
$ | |This family-run restaurant understands the true meaning of making guests feel welcome. Meals are freshly prepared in a classic way that honors the treasures of Cres. Belona is both recognizable for its homey atmosphere and excellent food. The pepper steak is well worth a try, as is the freshly caught scarpina (scorpionfish) grilled over the fire.
Hrvatskih Branitelja 15, 51557, Croatia051-571–203Known For
- Pepper steak
- Pistachio semifreddo
- Away from the harbor crowds

24. Konoba Bonifačić
$ | |The subtitle on the road signs reads nonina kuhinja (granny's cooking), and you were a spoiled child indeed if your grandma turned out dishes of this standard for you. The shady garden in the heart of ancient Osor is a perfect setting in which to enjoy the typical plates of the konoba: meat, seafood, pasta, and salads.
Osor 64, Osor, Primorsko-Goranska, 51554, Croatia051-237–413Known For

25. Konoba Feral
$ | |Frequented by locals (especially at lunch), this excellent informal seafood restaurant lies on a side road conveniently close to the City Market. House specialties are crni rižot (cuttlefish-ink risotto), seafood tagliatelle, whole fish, and shellfish. Fish is charged by weight. Adriatic blue fish, like sardines, is delicious and very affordable.

26. Konoba Hibernicia
$ | |A nice little terrace right by the bell tower in the heart of the stone hilltop village of Lubenice is the perfect location for a light lunch of pršut (prosciutto), cheese, olives, and a glass of local wine. For a more hearty meal, order lamb-stew gnocchi or lamb liver with polenta, since lamb is a specialty on Cres.
Lubenice 17, Lubenice, Primorsko-Goranska, 51557, Croatia051-525–040Known For

- Not-so-friendly staff

27. 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.

28. 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.

29. 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.

30. Plavi Podrum
$$$ | |This is an upscale, traditional fine-dining fish restaurant in Volosko. The owner has won some wine awards and has, accordingly, inflated the costs for dining here, which results in unusually high expectations from diners. All the usuals are cooked to perfection, but three-color tagliolini pasta featuring scampi, peaches, and black Istrian truffles is a house specialty. The terrace is a little more relaxed than inside.

- Excellent wine list
- Pasta with shrimp, peaches, and black truffles

31. Pod Prevolt
$ | |A small family-run tavern in the village of Milohnići, Pod Prevolt is a bit off the beaten path, but it's a place where you can get a real feel for the island's peaceful beauty and delicious traditional food. The traditional homemade Krk dishes include octopus with veggies baked in a wood-burning oven, dried octopus macaroni, homemade prosciutto and cheese, grilled and marinated fish, and the like. Desserts—like sponge cake with whipped cream, yogurt, and cherries—are simple but delicious. Find a seat on one of the large wooden tables under the fig trees and soak up the silence. The name ("under the vaulted porch") is inspired by the entrance to the traditional house. The tiny interior has just six tables and exposed stone walls.

32. 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.

33. 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.

34. Volta
$ | |The small town of Fužine is very close to Delnice and is well-known for its pine-bordered lake, where you'll find this eatery. This is typical mountain food that includes lots of wild game like boar, bear, deer stew, and frog legs. Come with a hearty appetite after hiking in the nearby woods or around the lake. Try the pasta with wild mushrooms or hunter's stew; the bold may want to try the house specialty: horse meat made into čevapčići (spiced meat rolled into sausage shapes and grilled).
