Fodor's Expert Review Bistro Mala Riba

Located on the Matulji–Kastav main road, this cozy tavern offers a delicious line-up of Kvarner-style tapas that are best enjoyed on the pleasant outdoor terrace that sits under a shady glen of pine trees. Seafood lovers will have a hard time choosing between menu items—fish marinated in lemon juice, sea-snail salad, fried olives, barley and squid stew—and will definitely find themselves coming back for more.
