Restaurant Le Mandrac: Award Winner

  • Seadfood,meat and vegetarian dishes of the highest quality are served at this award winning eatery. With the sea close to the outside tables and a spacious interior, this place has it all. It has an extensive wine list and the staff are attentive without being too much so. There are a few other nice restaurants in the area but this one is by far the best.

    Didn't get to sample all that was on offer but they do a Meze style seafood feast which was my favourite.

    Gusto Grill: One of our best dinners in Croatia

    So happy after our
    dinner!
    by chicagolisa
    We stopped at the Gusto Grill originally because of the sign that said rooms. After the man at the Gusto Grill got us set up with a room with a lady across the street we were thankful. The sweet old woman told us that although she had not eaten there (??) she had heard from everyone who stayed with her that it was great.... and so we went, more as a favor to finding us a room at the last moment.

    It was late and there was only one other man there drinking a beer. We sat on the picnic tables outside and had the mixed grill of fish, squid and scampi that he suggested. We had a bottle of white wine, bread and salad that was fresh. When the food came out he brought potatoes with garlic and olive oil. After not thinking much of the place when we stopped there we were thrilled at how great and affordable the place was. The man who owned the place was sweet and gave us grappa afterwards. It was our first night in Croatia and for many nights afterwards we remembered our great dinner at Gusto Grill.

    The mixed grill was excellent but the potatoes with garlic and olive oil brought it all together for me. Don't skip the salad it's refreshing and light as well.

    I used to visit a little tavern Skalinada already in my student years since I've got some friends in the surrounding country. When I came back after some years I was pleasently surprised. The place was recently renovated. Interior design is handmade by Slovenian craftsman Miran Pesic who is famous for his simple lines and organic shapes.

    The menu changes daily. It is made up of mediterranean dishes with the emphasis on local specialities. Food is traditionally prepared, based on ancient recipes. Local delicacies as cheese, olives, smoked ham and salamis come from different farms.

    Wine card is really great, offering good quality wine from different parts of Croatia.

    At the moment, website is only available in Croatian but they are working on English version, too.

    From what I tried, my favourite dishes were:

    - pearl barley with cuttlefish and rocket
    - black pasta with shrimps, wild asparagus and cherry tomatoes
    - chicory lasagne

    Strawberry panacotta for dessert was delicious, too! And red wine Ivan Dolac 2004 (it comes from island Hvar) was just perfect to accompany the meal.

    All the food was very tasteful and prepared with the greatest attention! I do hope to visit Skalinada again soon :)

    It is open throughout the year.

  • Aquarium is a large restaurant located on the main street of Opatija. It is not a nice place, but it isn't ugly.

    On the menu there is a selections of local or Italian dishes, as pizza and pasta if I remember correctly.

    The first time I went there I had grilled squids with boiled potatoes. The second time I choose cevapcici ( = small meat balls) with boiled potatoes.

  • A fairly rustic restaurant we mightn't have gone to if the receptionist at the hotel hadn't recommended it. What a pleasant surprise! Very good , friendly service. We had what the waiter recommended and we weren't disappointed. Very good value for money.

    steak was buttery-tender and the fish full of flavour

    this place is by far and away the best restaurant in croatia that we visited, the staff, the setting and the ambience are fantastic.
    i tried most dishes and the only thing on the menu i didnt fall for was the apple strudel,the rest was gorgeous
    plus the prices in comparison to a similar restaurant in the uk were very good i would estimat a 3 course meal with wine to be about Ł25 a head which for this level of cooking is great
    go there you wont be dissapointed

    beef fillet with truffles was lovely,also being able to discuss the fish and pick the fish you wanted was a great bonus,and of course all the fish are landed daily in the harbour
    i had a sea bass and it was great
    speacial mention for waiter goran and maitre d' zorra
