La Famiglia

Little family restaurant located in the heart of old town Zadar. Best burgers in town! Friendly and attentive service! YOUR BURGER PLACE

Reviewed By Loredana D

We had lunch in La Famiglia thanks to reviews on TripAdvisor. The risotto with shrimps was delicious and vegetarian pasta seemed to be very good (my husband took pasta). It should be a choice for a lunch or dinner, if you're in Zadar.

4 Kantuna

Reviewed By Trishka-9

Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere despite music playing too loudly. I ordered the risotto with roasted vegetables - more accurately, rice with chopped veggies and sauce. Given the saltiness and extreme amount of steam rising off of it, my guess is that it was frozen and reheated in a microwave. It was tasty and filling enough, but not nearly worth the steep price. If you have a microwave, check out the freezer section of your local Spar for a comparable meal at a fraction of the price. Paper napkins, always disappointing at a sit-down place. Typical tourist restaurant, probably no worse than the next. Friendly service was appreciated, and I loved being able to pay by credit card.

Zadar Jadera Traditional Restaurant

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.

After a week of pizzas and pasta, we headed to Jadera on the recommendation of our sailing skipper. Great menu, quality food and service that was fun and friendly.Huge portions (I had the monkfish) so don’t do as we did and order starters and mains!!! The “appetisers” are a full course in themselves!

Reviewed By KimberlyMJ

Oh, how I wish I had more time in Zadar to go back to Gricko Grill. It's comfortable, affordable, friendly and delicious. Hubby and I went here on a recommendation from our boat guide. After 9 hours touring the Kornati Islands we didn't exactly feel dressed for dinner out, but we felt very comfortable here the moment we arrived. it was an easy walk from the marina. Such a lovely find.

Pet Bunara

The “Pet bunara dine & wine“” restaurant is located alongside the square bearing that same name. It has been the enriching and the refining element of the Zadar gastronomic scene for more than 35 years. Constantly changing and adapting throughout the year

Service was slooooow even though the place was completely empty. The waitress seemed as disgruntled as I was that, as a gluten-free vegetarian, the only thing I could order was the pumpkin soup. I couldn’t tell if she hated me specifically or if surly was her natural demeanor. The atmosphere looked nice, but I left dispirited.Dear Trishka-9,thank you for your review. I am so sorry to hear that your experience wasn't as expected. Please visit us again and we will make it up to you on the best way we can - entirely free of charge. Hope we meet again...Kind regards,Vladimir

Trattoria Mediterraneo

Restaurant in the center of the old town with a cozy atmosphere in an intimate ambience enriched with art objects. Mediterranean cuisine with excellent pizzas, pasta and local dalmatian specialties.

Reviewed By Forkandles

This was another restaurant recommended to us by locals. It's very small - only half a dozen tables or so, but the menu is comprehensive and filled with a great choice of delicious food. The drinks menu is great too. The staff were very friendly and most helpful and the service was first class - what's not to like?

Al Pacchero

Reviewed By ToniJ515

My partner and I visited this restaurant as the reviews that we read lead us to believe it was wonderful. Let's just say if you do go I am sure you will like the food but if you don't go you won't be missing much.The food is good but you pay for it and we watched the waitresses pick and choose who they offered a complimentary welcome drink to...which we felt was rude to the tables that weren't offered one.Our food was nice but I wouldn't rave about it. The service was good but not great and when a couple enquired about their bill they were treated disrespectfully.You're not missing anything if you don't visit in our opinion. Dear guest,I need to tell that your review is not correct and unfortunately it is based on the fact that didn't happened.. Let's start from the beginning we Always give a glass of prosecco and finger food to our guests it's the first rule of our restaurant and the second thing you write about was the bill, it was your table not some other's because I remember you, we are very sorry that in Croatia we have 25% of taxes on our bill but that's the way it is, it's not our fault... Thank youAl Pacchero

We went here when it was raining it was very quiet so didn't get the feel of how it might be when busy. The staff were friendly but not very attentive considering there were 6 people in there. However! The food was sooooo good! Loved the decor also! We would return
