Restaurant Puntulina is a bit pricey restaurant with an excellent food, and an amazing location right at the waterfront. This restaurants trades heavily on its location. Located at the top of the Sv.

Konoba (tavern) Jure is not located in the city center, but for food that offers worth to get away from the city noise. The atmosphere is casual and domestic, owner Jurica seems to be a friend of all his guests. Although Jurica often early in the morning selects the best fish that are prepared in the simplest traditional ways, I recommend this place for meat delicacies. You simply have to try the beefsteak tagliata, prosciutto, homemade sausage and homemade fries.

First opened way back in 1968, Rio Bar has been one of Rovinj’s favourite spots for almost half a century, and with its marina locale, it boasts some of the best views in town. Plenty of Croatian and Mediterranean fare abounds on Rio Bar’s menu, from dishes like ravioli with Istrian truffles and sea bass served with garlic and potatoes to indulgent desserts like semifreddo and chocolate mousse.

It's a go-to place for a slice of fisherman's pie (a focaccia-like dough filled with salty anchovies, shredded onions, and chopped tomatoes), then tuna tartare, as well as cuttlefish stew served with creamy polenta. We could eat these three dishes every day. The restaurant has only outdoor seating, right by the harbor, and with lovely views over Rovinj's old town. Oh, and they also have a wide menu including pizzas, pasta, grilled sardines, and alike.

Entertainment & Activities

Batana is a traditional small fishing boat from Rovinj. It’s a 4.5-8 m long wooden boat with flat bottom, and a sail. Today, very few people go fishing in batana. Instead, people of Rovinj try to preserve batana, as a true symbol of Rovinj. In such an effort, few years ago local museum House of Batana, started offering a program to visitors that includes a ride in a traditional batana around Rovinj’s old town at dawn, and a traditional dinner in Rovinj’s spacio Matika (tavern in a local dialect). It’s a nice experience, and we highly recommend it.
