We enjoyed our dinner at Kornat. Our waiter Tony was especially friendly and helpful. The food was good - not the best, but beautifully presented. The vibe of the restaurant seemed a bit tired to us. They had 80's music playing too loud - Lionel Ritchie - you couldn't talk over the music. They turned it down upon our request which was an improvement. It's a nice setting if you're looking for seaside views.

We had our family lunch here, the stuffed squid, squid ink risotto, scampi, amd lamb chops, all dishes excellent quality and stunning flavours, best food we ate in Croatia by far. The atmosphere was simple and authentic, vine shaded courtyard ticked away in a side street. Thank you this was a highlight of our trip.

It's a small lovely restaurant situated in Zadar's old town area. Fabulous value for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

We had dinner here this week. The first positive thing we noticed was the staff's kindness. The young me (presumably the owner) was very kind and helpful. Regarding the food, it's great. Fish is well cooked and it tastes good. They could do better with the wine, but it's a matter of palate. All in all, totally recommended.

We heard nice things about this restaurant, and when we arrived i saw why. Everything is nice decorated and clean. Menu is great on the first look but when we ordered food, we was disapointed. We expected much more delicious food. Staff is very good, very proffesional and polite.

Restaurant Kastel was recommended to me by a colleague who had previously visited. I emailed the restaurant prior to my holiday to make a reservation and got a reply that same day.
The restaurant is inside Hotel Bastion and away from the main streets of Old Town Zadar (opposite the Garden Lounge).
The restaurant is lovely inside with indoor Seating only, although top level has huge no folding windows which were open giving the feeling that you were Sat outdoors.
All wait/hotel staff were super friendly and attentive. The food was incredible. My mother and I had 2 small plates and 2 main meals as the menu all sounded delicious.
We ate tagliatelle with shrimp (best dish), lamb stew with polenta and for main beef cheek and potato gratin and beef fillet steak.
All meals are served as described, no extra veg etc and none available to order. The portion sizes are small but rich so you don't need anymore.
We had several glasses of red wine
We didn't have room for dessert
The 4 dishes and wine cost £80 in total
In my opinion this was the best meal we had during our entire trip to Croatia, little on the expensive side but worth every penny

In a courtyard off the main square. Idyllic setting. Service was good but food comes from hotel around the corner. Steak was god flavour although I had to call them back as they hadn't asked how to cook it. But the food was excellent.
Toilets in the hotel - not that good and not easy to get to.

Traditional dalmatian restaurant in the heart of the old city center. It's cozy ambient and delicious food will make you feel special. Feel the magic of the local cuisine and domestic atmosphere.
Reviewed By Brogan J
Plenty of seafood options here, though you can't go past the simple grilled fish - something this restaurant does so well. A quality selection of gourmet side dishes also. Great open space beside a small church and square. I'd rate this as one of the better eats within the old town.
9. Pizzeria Tri Bunara

Pizzeria Tri Bunara is located in city center, historical part of town "Kampo Kaštelo". It is the oldest pizzeria in town working since 1976. and all this time is runned by the same family. Pizzeria has beautifull teracce with 40 seats and is ideal choice for hot summer days and evenings. We are very proud that we have very tasty pizza, so come on and try it.

We went to "Tri bunara" during our one day trip to Zadar. We searched for some restaurant on Tripadvisor website and based on comments and rating we decided to go here and we were not sorry. The food was very deicious and fresh. Service was also very good, fast and the waiter was also kind. The only negative point was the small Terrace and we had luck to find free table.

- ok service (although rather casual and relaxed)
- freshly made pasta
- no tourist trap
- reasonable prices
- rather small and charming (outside Seating available)
- They have a small parking lot, however, it is hard to get a parking space when the restaurant is crowded (which is the case most of the time)
