Officina del Pesce

Reviewed By Matthijswilhelmus

Very nice and cosy place with friendly and quick staff. The tuna tartar was amazing, the octopus pretty decent. Drinks of very good quality, premium ingredients and well prepared. Overall a very good experience for our family. When my wife was cold the waiter brought her a sweater from one of the staff, very nice.

Mali Raj

Reviewed By yasyas2015

We went to this restaurant this evening based on reviews from TripAdvisor and we were so impressed. We drove approx 40 mins from Pula so we were hoping it was as great as the reviews suggested. Whilst we initially had a little bit of difficulty finding the restaurant, once we found it, we were very pleased from start to finish. Whilst there were clearly many local people dining at this restaurant who we imagine are somewhat familiar with the dishes, our waitress was very helpful and took the time to explain the dishes and to answer the questions that we had. One of our party of 4 friends is vegan and the waitress was more than happy to make some recommendations of bespoke dishes that the chef could prepare for him. The dishes we opted for as a group were, mussels, shrimp risotto, sea bass, calamari, vegetables and a vegan risotto style dish accompanied with bread, a couple of soft drinks wine and Prosecco. The sea bass was particularly great, as was the risotto. The total bill was circa 780 Croatian kuna - we thought this was very responsible for our group of 4. The actual restaurant itself is lovely, understated but with a large feature tree which branches around the circumference of the roof, coupled with the mellow local music in the background creates a great ambiance: Should we be fortunate enough to return to Croatia, I would be keen to return back to this restaurant. We asked the waitress and were advised that the restaurant is closed for a few months from the beginning of October for winter so I would recommend calling to check it is open before visiting in winter months.

Gostionica Tri Bacve

Reviewed By Matija R

Amazing fish, crabs and shells! You can feel it's all fresh and full of taste. We had mix of shells, crabs, fish plate for two and a house wine. Everything was delicious and great. Staff warm and helpful, family atmosphere, mid range prices, maybe the lowest I found at seafood restaurants nearby, but really great, great quality. Romantic place for evening dinner. Had a great time. Definetly will come back. 5 stars!

Konoba "Kod Luce"

Reviewed By G6067HVoliviab

We visited this fabulous little restaurant in Vrsar two nights ago while sailing to Rovinj, and can highly recommend it especially for families. The food is authentic local Croatian cuisine and Alan, the head waiter, took the time to make special recommendations which were just delicious. Gluten free dietary requirements were no problem and Alan’s mama, who personally prepares the dishes, made us an extra pasta sauce for the children when they discovered there was flour in the bolognese. The restaurant is about a 3 minute walk from the marina. It doesn’t have a sea view but the excellent food and friendly service make up for that, and there’s always time for an ice-cream at the harbour on the way home.

Konoba Sole

Reviewed By B0ste

We visit this place for late lunch. When we entered the place was full, but they find us a small free table. Staff is very polite and friendly. The food was nice, specially home made pasta and we also like seafood salad and small stuffed chili with anchovy. They definitely can improve open red wine.

We are a small family restaurant with a long tradition in catering. We are located in the very center of Porec. With a relaxed atmosphere and excellent prices we offer you a wide range of fish, seafood, pizzas and barbecues.

Reviewed By tanyaross78

I think due to the vast amount of restaurants in porec, people like me go off these reviews and then perhaps these restaurants lose some of their appeal due to the amount of people they allow to eat at once The staff were friendly enough but the food was very average the fish soup was nothing special at all and just had a few bits of white fish in some very bland stockNo kids menu so you order off the main and they still charge you the same nearly which seems unfair for a 6 year old They had no Prosecco or GinI would defo try somewhere else as there are so many options
