If you are in Pula, don't miss Cafe Nonno (or perhaps it is Bistro Nonno). It is off the Forum square, where they are excavating. Maria, waitress and cook, and "ginger guy" are great. You'll see him first, out by the Forum touting to get you in - we were so glad we followed him. I nicknamed him ginger guy as I couldn't pronounce his real name, sorry. The first time I had truffle risotto, the best risotto I've ever had! We went back about 4 times in a week, staff (esp Maria) SO friendly, and all the food great. The last night my husband had calamari and I had shrimp risotto - again FANTASTIC. Please go to this place, as they are afraid they will have to close soon as the excavation on the Forum will take years and they've lost their outside tables for the duration.

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

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.
Favorite Dish: 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

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 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.

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.
Favorite Dish: 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.

The surroundings and the service are outstanding. We went there for dinner on a Friday evening, July 30th and we felt it might be full, so we booked in the afternoon. Actually, when we went for dinner, there were only two tables with customers !

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 !
Favorite Dish: 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"

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...

Risotto with rospo and truffle/scampi and melon served in cheese

MENU GRAND (meat)

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.
Favorite Dish: 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.
