RESTAURANT BARBA DANILO

Restaurant Barba Danilo is located on the outskirts of Rovinj, within a small, family-run campsite Ulika. This restaurant used to make the most innovative yet not pretentious, and super yummy dishes. But unfortunately, they have changed their concept. This is not to say that the food isn’t good anymore. Quite opposite, it is excellent, but they lost their innovative part. Anyways, this is a great place to eat the classic Mediterranean in Rovinj – lots of succulent fish and seafood dishes, but also some meat classics like steak tartar, and Fiorentina. Attentive service, fair prices, and a quiet location out of the old town make Barba Danilo also an attractive restaurant for a pleasant dinner in Rovinj.

RESTAURANT MALE MADLENE

Restaurant Male Madlene is a special little place in the old town. The restaurant has only 3 tables inside and a terrace on the seafront. It serves finger food. The food is tasty and beautifully arranged on the plate. However, it is a bit expensive and the portions are small. A good place to go for a pre-dinner snack.

MAESTRAL

Maestral is the go-to place for a slice of fisherman’s pie (a focaccia-like dough filled with salty anchovies, shredded onions, and chopped tomatoes), then tuna tartare, as well as squid stew served with creamy polenta.

The restaurant has only outdoor seating, is right by the harbor, and with lovely views over Rovinj’s old town. Oh, and they also have a wide menu including pizzas, pasta, grilled sardines, and the like.

KONOBA JURE

Jure is located in a residential part of Rovinj. The location isn’t what draws people to Jure, neither is the restaurant’s setting. What makes Jure popular is its food: fresh, locally sourced ingredients and well-prepared dishes just like mum would do at home. Oh, and the french fries are homemade (not frozen!). Something that seems impossible to find these days in Croatian restaurants.

KONOBA KANTINON

Located at Rovinj’s waterfront, overlooking the old town, the tavern Kantinon offers a cozy and casual atmosphere featuring the typical decor of an Istrian tavern. The dishes are based on fresh, local produce. Here you can taste traditional Istrian dishes, including calamari with potatoes simmered in their own sauce, shellfish in white wine, and homemade aubergine gnocchi. Meat lovers can enjoy dishes like steak tagliatta, T-bone, or roasted chicken.

TUTTO BENE

Wonderful food, incredible hospitality, and friendliness of the staff and the owner Josip, as well as attention to detail, turned Tutto Bene into one of the most popular restaurants in Rovinj.

The restaurant serves traditional Croatian dishes but with a modern twist and lovely plating. Make sure you taste their seared tuna on a bed of avocado cream, octopus stew, and shellfish with homemade noodles. Bread is homemade, and you also get a chance to taste some of the premium Croatian olive oil.

RESTAURANT ORCA

Restaurant Orca is located in the residential area of Rovinj. It is a family-run restaurant serving Istrian and Mediterranean dishes. The produce is fresh and local. It is honest, homemade food. This restaurant used to be very popular among locals. And it still is.

PIZZERIA ZITA

Opened in 2020, by a few Italians, pizzeria Zita is the first (and so far the only) pizzeria in Rovinj that serves Naples-style pizza with fluffy, soft dough and raised edge (called cornicione). Pizzas are excellent and come with a wide choice of toppings.
