1. Pizzeria Rumore
$ | |At this popular and highly lauded pizzeria, Neapolitan-style pizzas are made in a gold-glazed brick oven made by Stefano Ferrara Forni in Naples. High-quality ingredients and strict adherence to Napolitana dough preparation—using only Maestro Santucci flour and letting the dough rest for 30 hours before baking—ensure you walk away ready to tell everyone you know about this pizza. There are six traditional Neapolitan pizzas and six gourmet pizzas that contain traditional Istrian ingredients such as truffles or prosciutto. If pizza is not your thing, try the burgers or salads or skip right to cannoli and cappuccinos. The terrace offers outstanding views of Rabac and Kvarner Bay.

2. Street Food Two
$ | |This fast food shack offers some of the most mouthwatering food in Pula, from modern takes on Istrian favorites to vegan plates of international flavors not easily found in the city. The small menu changes often, but you may enjoy a vegan poke bowl, chicken burritos, shrimp risotto, gluten-free panko tofu, and endless delicious sandwiches, pasta, stews, and smoothies. There are only four tables outside and four tiny tables inside so seats fill up fast, and they regularly sell out of items on the high-class street food menu. It's open until 10 pm in summer, but it's best to come for an early lunch to get a table. Takeaway also works well, and you can order by phone.

- High-class street food
- Very limited seating so come early for a table

3. Café Galerija Cvajner
$ | |Stop at the chic but unpretentious Café Galerija Cvajner for morning coffee or an evening aperitif. Inside, contemporary art and minimalist boho-style furniture play off frescoes uncovered during restoration, and outdoor tables offer great views of the Forum square. Sip kuhano vino (mulled wine) from front-row seats to Advent concerts, light shows, and a holiday skating rink.

4. Due Fratelli
$$ | |When this family is not catching fish, they are preparing it at their well-regarded folksy restaurant with a cool, grapevine-shaded, family-friendly terrace. The menu offers fresh delicious seafood specialties like grilled squid, mussels alla buzara, and a good selection of grilled steaks and poultry dishes. Getting to this restaurant is easy if you're driving; keep your eyes peeled along the winding road downhill from Labin to Rabac for the restaurant's little sign to the left as the road curves right. If you're on foot, the walk is a bit of a haul on a dangerous road. Live music on summer Saturdays offers the chance to sing along and dance the night way.

5. Farabuto
$ | |In residential Pula, far from tourist attractions, Farabuto has a short menu of fresh and tasty seafood and just a few meat and vegetarian dishes, all based on what's available from Pula’s green and fish markets. The modern and innovative cuisine is well presented in Farabuto's small cozy interior or on the terrace. Service is friendly but can be slow when the restaurant gets crowded in summer. Regulars rave about the selection of cold seafood crudo. Other selections include homemade ravioli with Adriatic scampi, seafood risotto, and local fish like monkfish, branzino, tuna, and shark.

6. Maestral
$$ | |You won’t find a bad seat at this outdoor seafront restaurant with fantastic views of the Old Town, particularly at sunset. An extensive menu, friendly staff, a laid-back vibe, and affordable prices draw crowds here all day. Favorites include the fisherman’s pie, a thin-crust pie filled with anchovies, tomatoes, and onions, and juicy squid stew served with the creamiest polenta. The restaurant is always packed, especially at dinner, but tables turn quickly.

7. Orca
$$ | |Local, fresh, traditional food makes this restaurant on the outskirts of town a favorite among locals. Its location on the main road may not draw visitors in at first, but the food is excellent and a great value. This large restaurant with an open fireplace and outdoor terrace is open year-round serving typical Istrian meat, fish, and pasta. Locals rave about their tagliatelle with scampi and mushrooms and the daily grilled meat plate.

9. Velo Kafe
$$ | |Whether it be a coffee, homemade cake, or hand-crafted gelato enjoyed on the shady ground-floor terrace, a gourmet dinner on the first-floor balcony, or hearty Istrian comfort food in the cozy lower-level tavern, it’s all to be found at this popular restaurant located in the heart of Old Town Labin on Titov Trg, Labin’s main square. The locally inspired menu is extensive and includes specialties like nettle gnocchi with salmon, steak in black-truffle sauce, branzino al forno, and hand-rolled pasta with foraged mushrooms. A good choice of veggie dishes makes this place popular among vegans, too, as does the wisteria-covered terraces and everyday brunch options served in the summer season.
