Restaurants cuisine du monde Croatia

A small, unpretentious restaurant just outside the town and next to the marina. It's one of the cheapest in the city. Also serves pizzas.

A new fusion type kitchen but without presentation. Affordable price for a dinner in mind, behind your second half, the Adriatic Sea. The Cigar bar and lounge bar Agora are two original attractions for VIP or simply intimate guests.

In a distinctive décor made up of frescoes and drawings attached to the walls, there is a rather casual clientele. The kitchen is original and good (cheese in cheese, turkey with prunes, veal steak, and other Italian specialities). The service is excellent. This is one of the most important of the city.

In summer, its terrace in the shade of palm trees, is one of the most popular. It is also the restaurant that is served later in the evening. International dishes and traditional Dalmatian cuisine.

This restaurant boasts a beautiful terrace overlooking the harbor, where large banquet tables with benches can be placed, while the dining room resembles a cloister. The cuisine is simple but honest: grilled meats, seafood pasta, risotto and pizzas. The address, a little too touristy, is often crowded. In the basement, in a large vaulted cellar with exposed stonework, the Lapidary club is open all year round. Its good acoustics attract musicians. DJs, groups and vocal ensembles sometimes perform here.

The restaurant offers fresh fish daily, crustaceans, shells, black risotto, meat dishes, hors d'oeuvres, snacks… but also a cosy lunch menu and breakfasts. Large semi-covered terrace slightly on the heights at the entrance to the old town, side "Ploce" with private parking. A dominant view of the old town. Correct service and normal price.

There is a great choice for breakfast or sandwiches for dinner: .., sweet and light pastries. The only fault is that they fill the sandwiches only in the part they open, and that the bread is hopelessly empty on the sides…

Bread, pastries, and delicious cakes that have genuine authentic taste. You can also stop here for a small coffee. Breakfast is delicious and the perfect lunch if you are in the corner of the Sheraton or Trg Square.

It is not only the delicious taste of their ice that makes us drool at the Millennium, but also the view of all the other scents of all the colors with spam of chocolates, red fruit or sprinkled of hazelnuts… To taste them while enjoying the very busy garden.

After a long hike in the national park, it is a pleasure to return to the coastline of Starigrad-Paklenica.
