I think I was one of their first customers ever. So, that was several years ago, earlier than 2012. Their name means ' In the Blue Cellar'. Their outdoor terrace is at the border of a little romantic harbour. For entry I had baby octopus in the oven stuffed with garlic butter and lard. Fabulous! The prawns were also so... More

Ok, my review of this place is a little mixed, but I gave it an overall "excellent" rating simply because the mussel dish that I had knocked my socks off! I was slurping up the broth my spoon. It was a blend of tomato base with truffle and it was so delicious. The restaurant is also right on the water... More

For me undisputedly the best restaurant in Croatia, was even among San Pellegrino Top 100 World Restaurants. I've known it for a long time and have had some disputes on the topic with some less enthusiastic colleagues (Croatians without exception). The owner managed to combine a top-class restaurant inside with a summer-only mixed type restaurant on the terrace in front,... More

I'm not sure why this restaurant is listed as Opatija as its in Volosko. I guess Volosko is part of Opatija? Anyway we wandered down to the harbor ( 3 women) and looked into the restaurants as there a few there, and saw what people were eats and had to go in! We were seated in the outer area with... More

This place was recommended by our tour guide and was well worth the 1/2 hour walk from Opatija. Every seafood dish we ordered was super fresh and very well executed. No wonder they were rated one of the top 100 restaurants in the world couple years ago. Service was great and you won't be disappointed if you are a seafood... More

It's a rather posh place and expensive by the Croatian standards (not so much by the European ones), but well worth it. The service was top notch and the food was really good. Definitely one of the better places I've been to.

The staff at this place was very nice and helpful. The food was great, the wine too. They have a big selection of fresh fish (wich they bring you to the table so you can take a pick) and pasta. If you are situated in Opatija, take a walk to this place. It's a nice walk and you'll get your... More

A lovely location, atmosphere, very nice service and most important - finger licking good food! Sea food is moderately creative with great mixes of flavors, go with the waiters recommendations of whats fresh and seasonal! If you are into meat, they have really nice steaks as well. Price wise: around 30 - 60 euros all together per person (for 3... More
