1. 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.

7. 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).

8. Artatore/Kod Janje
$$$ | |Ten km (6 miles) north of Mali Lošinj, in the small village of Artatore, you'll find a restaurant of the same name, which locals also call Kod Janje (Chez Janje) and consider the best on the entire island. The seafood here is à l'ordre du jour; order the scampi in white wine with polenta, grilled fish, or lobster tagliatelle. For meat-eaters, the house specialty is lamb from the wood-burning oven with fried crepes filled with fresh cheese and asparagus.

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.

11. 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.

12. 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
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. -
13. 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

$ | |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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.
