The best restaurants in Croatia Pula

A local tavern with a small bar-grill, for those who like the burek atmosphere on the go, i.e. the local morning sandwich, cevapcici sausages (Bosnian recipe with herbs), grilled meat with French fries or blitva (crushed chard, potatoes) and a beer or prošuto/cheese with a glass of wine, all in a good atmosphere, in front of a soccer match or while listening to music The Taj is a little bit off the tourist circuit, so no touts! It's an opportunity to meet the locals.

Opened in 2023 in a classic building on the corner of Flanatička and Sergijevaca streets, the restaurant has placed its tables at the foot of the Arch of Sergius, in an elegant dining room or on the balcony with a breathtaking view of the ancient monument. On the menu: an "Istrian street food & wine bar" formula, with wine by the glass, charcuterie/cheese bruschetta, hamburger-fries and pastries all day long. More elaborate options include fresh pasta with white sauce and truffle shavings, or tuna steak with sesame seeds on a bed of green rocket salad.
