"This is a reliable, reasonable fish specialist in the Old Town, offering a break from schmaltzy decor—an open room with a wooden cathedral ceiling leads to a sunny enclosed terrace."

"It excels at surf—stuffed lobster with risotto, grilled fish, saffron shrimp—but also honors Croatian turf specialties; don't miss Dalmatian smoked ham and olives as an appetizer." Full review

Choose between restrained elegance in the 1930s-influenced dining room or the recommended first-floor terrace with great Old Town views.

"Renowned Old City restaurant along a pretty limestone alley. Sitting along the pavement is atmospheric day or night, but there’s also a hidden roof terrace that is incredibly romantic"
