Restaurants in Zadar
1. Degarra Winery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 40 reviews
The Degarra Winery is a small “boutique” winery from the Zadar region that produces a limited series of top quality wines. Our motto “New and Original” besides pointing out the desire to enter the market with the new product every year, is also reflected in our desire to stand out from the others. So, we decided to turn the former barracks of the former JNA into a house of wine and delicacies.

We had a pleasant time at the Degarra Winery, great selection of wines to taste and a lovely cheese and charcuterie board to accompany. Degarra offer two sparkling wines, two whites, a rose, a red and a dessert wine. Learning the background to the winery from the small garage operation to where they are today was fascinating. Love the decor and the vibe of the place. Got the chance to peak behind the scenes and saw the huge cats of wine currently maturing. Place is difficult to spot and we drove straight by, glad we persevered and turned around. Well worth a visit.

An enchanting experience whilst visiting Zadar was to listen to the natural music at the sea organ on the promenade and then watch the science light show after sunset, a lovely end to a perfect visit to this ancient city.

This is a lovely, relaxing walk around the edge of the city. You have rhe sea viwes on one side and the city on the other. Then if you continue around the end you walk on top of the old city wall overlooking the harbour area. From either end of the walk it is easy to cut into the city centre. We did it in the middle of the day so did not experience the sunset. An excellent stroll.

In the heart of the Old Town, the People's Square is a great place to meetup. There are also a number of cafes around so you can sit and drink a coffee. There is also a cafe built around the ruins of an old church which is very interesting.

This is a must visit place because its very well decorated and designed place. Its huge and serene. Nice statues, colorful. As soon as you get out of the church, nearby pl look for the souvenir shops and if you can go there before 1 p.m.,you can have a look at the big vegetable market which is very colorful.

Precious collection of Zadar gold and silver. Very worth to visit during your stay in Croatia. Benedictine nuns from St Mary Convent take care about it, They are very helpful, talkative and provide a lot of interesting facts and details about artifacts. They even has small souvenir shop where where visitors can by homemade products produced by nuns: book markers made of dried flowers are my favourite. Exibition is on the way to Sea Organ, don't miss it.
