Zadar is a city with lots of good restaurants. It’s not surprising since the city attracts lots of tourists and people from the surrounding, so there is no shortage of customers.
We all know how hard it is to pick the right restaurant, especially if you are in a hurry. There are so many things to consider such as:
– Price range (don’t wanna overspend)
– Distance (don’t want to walk too far)
– Type of food (don’t want to try something you don’t like)
– Is there parking? (because you know… Zadar)
I want to guide you through Zadar restaurants and their offer in this blog post. I intend to give you a quick summary of each restaurant without picking the best one. Since I can’t cover all of them, I decided to cover the five I can recommend from my own experience.
Pet Bunara
The “Pet bunara dine & wine “” restaurant is located alongside the square bearing that same name. It has been the enriching and refining element of the Zadar gastronomic scene for more than 35 years.
The restaurant’s slogan “Pet bunara dine & wine “” speaks for itself, it has always been about two things – great food and fine wines. The secret of its success lies in the simple fact that it never tried to follow trends or fads, it always stayed true to itself and its philosophy, thus becoming a hallmark of Zadar gastronomy and one of the rare restaurants that earns its place through hard work.
For over three decades now, high-quality ingredients have been served with care and attention to detail. The chefs have always strived to offer a unique blend of local cuisine with Mediterranean accents in over 60 main dishes

The prices are in line with other restaurants in Zadar offering fresh seafood and meat specialties, but the view makes the visit to Harbor more than worth it.
