The best Zadar restaurants

What others say about Zadar restaurants

If you are looking for Zadar restaurants I have to remind you that the culinary specialties of the Zadar region include some of the finest characteristics of Dalmatian cuisine, which is foremost based on fish and other seafood.

But once you are there, try lamb dishes. This easily digestible and healthy meat, particularly if is from the island of Pag, is usually served roasted. The best time for roast lamb is during the spring, when it is served with green onions. A particularly delicious hors d’oeuvre is the famous Pag cheese with the prosciutto.

Some of the most popular restaurants in Zadar:

Foa restaurant - fish restaurant
Foa is small port next to the Lion’s Gate, here you can find one of the best fish restaurants in whole Croatia. I strongly recommend this restaurant to those of you who are seafood lovers. Here you can enjoy in every day fresh fish and "frutti di mare". When you enter, skip the inside dining room and go straight to the terrace, which opens to the sea. By day your table is the best place to catch a cool breeze, and by night you’ll have beautiful view of the water and the city lights.

Konoba Skoblar
I still remember this old restaurant from my students days in Zadar located right on Zadar’s Five Wells Square. The restaurant cuisine in based mainly on the old and traditional preparation of grilled fish and seafood. Typical stone interior, they serve up the usual fish and meats specializing in foods cooked under an iron bell. Also a nice selection of Croatian and foreign wines.
