  • Fra-Kat is in Premantura, a small village 10 km south from Pula. When you will see this clock tower, you will not be far from Fra-Kat. Keep driving until you arrive in front of the church shown on next picture.

  • Valsabbion Restaurant has been voted the best in ISTRIA since 1995 and the best in CROATIA in 1998, 2000 and 2003.

    It has an extraordinary card with nearly every year a very elaborate novel dish from the chef.

    We had lobster. It was great as was the wine (a barrique red from Plavac Mali.

    We surely will go back to Valsabbion to taste other dishes but we have also Fra-Kat to try...

    MENU GRAND (fish)
    Couvert Grand
    Summer simphony
    Risotto with rospo and truffle/scampi and melon served in cheese
    Soil au gratin filled with S. Jack
    Sorbet "Caprice"
    Mix "Valsabbion"
    Cheese with honey and pinecone seeds

    MENU GRAND (meat)
    Couvert Grand
    Mushroom carpaccio with truffles
    Fagottino with smoked cheese
    Tagliata with pinecone seeds and rucola
    Leing Sorbet
    Wild fruit cup
    Tureen of cheeses

    Conclusion :
    Valsabbion is expensive but is worth every lipa (no, better, every kuna). I recommand without any hesitation.

  • Fra-Kat is the place to go for exceptional quality sea-food. This is what we have been told. Unfortunately, as we had rented an apartment in Vrsar, about 40 km north to Pula, we came only twice for dinner in Pula, tried Valsabbion and Milan and left Fra-Kat for next visit. Then, we have no first hand advice to give.

    "Fra - kat": The very fresh Seafood
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The restaurant "Fra-Kat", best of the kind in area of Pula, offers fresh Seafood every day in the week. It is located in the little village of Premantura, about 10 km south of the town of Pula.

    Everything what comes out of the Adriatic sea: fishes, mussels, cray-fishes, lobsters etc.
    See this scampo on the picture, it is almost the same size as an lobster.

  • The card had not a great choice, which is not a real problem. We choose lobster alla buzzara. It was outstandingly served but was heavily overcooked.
    We took an old Dingac. It was poured off in a crystal decanter and was really very good.

    Conclusions :
    On the whole, Milan bears a good character.
    It was not full up though on a Friday it should have been.
    The service is outstanding.
    We have been deceived by the food but had dinner only once.
    Make your own opinion ! It is certainly worth trying.

  • Once in Pjescana uvala, you will find on the right a small road sign for Valsabbion. If you follow the street for 200 m, you will arrive towards the sea, in front of this monument. On your right, you will see a restaurant. It is completely anonymous and has no sign bearing its name ! I suspected it was Valsabbion, so I took advantage of a moment when there was no waiter on the terrace, picked up a menu to check and that was the place we were desperately looking for ! Great !

    Unfortunately, it seemed to be booked out. There were already a lot of customers that had began to have dinner and several unoccupied tables were booked. Anyway, we asked to a young waitress. She said "I must go and ask". We waited several minutes, she came back and said "I am sorry, but everything is booked". Very disappointed, we were walking towards the exit when a senior waitress (manager ?) asked us what we were looking for. We told her. She said "wait a minute". We waited and she came back saying "I have a table for you"
    More on next tip...

    This place was awesome. It was a few shops to the left and across the street from the bus terminal. I went there all the time and ate a bunch of ice cream and drank a lot of milkshakes. They'll let you watch the soccer matches and they talked to me all throughout the game.

    Karlovacko is my favorite beer. It is really cheap (35 cents for quart or so), and it's good. I suggest going to the corner store, buy a bunch of them, getting some pizza or bread, and then watching TV, it's great.

    Borghese: Good food here
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Borghese is another highly recommended restaurants which can be found in Pula. It is not that elegant as Milan, but you'll be very comfortable here, especially on it's terrace.

    Besides characteristic local Istrian cousine, Borghese offers fresh seafood and Italian cousine which can be compared to best restaurants in Italy.

    Milan: The most elegant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant "Milan" is considered as the best in Istria and one of the best in whole Croatia. It offers diversity of cousines; local Istrian, Mediterranean and international.
    Beside restaurant, Milan offers accomodation which is probably the best in the town.

    Being mediterranean type, I suggest you seafood which is by Milan always fresh and delicious.
    - risotto with shrimps
    - grilled calamari from the Adriatic (the best calamari that exist on earth, trust me)
    - Malvazija, local white wine from Porec or Buje regions
