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.
This is the best and perhaps the only place to have steak in the entire Kvarner region. Not only is it rare to find T-bone steak on a menu in these parts, but the high-quality and sophisticated menu offerings here are highly worthy of the extra effort it requires to find the restaurant. The location is well off the beaten path, but the lack of proximity to the center of Rijeka should not distract from the rare fine dining offered here. The name of the restuarant is local dialect for "eat."
Frequented by locals (especially at lunch), this excellent informal seafood restaurant lies on a side road conveniently close to the City Market. House specialties are crni rižot (cuttlefish-ink risotto), seafood tagliatelle, and shellfish. Fish is charged by weight. Adriatic blue fish, like sardines, is delicious and very affordable. It closes early (by 6 pm) on Sundays.
Tucked away in an alley right next to Rijeka's fish market, quaint Fiume fills with locals at lunchtime but closes early (by 6 pm). Unpretentious and friendly with a small streetside terrace, the tavern serves mostly seafood but also meat and pasta dishes. Prices are pleasantly affordable.
Tucked in a corner just off the main walking area, this family-friendly spot is a great place to come for a healthier burger. Try the homemade fries with shaved grana padano cheese and tartufi sauce. Great vegan options include several protein-packed salads and vegetarian burgers. The restaurant is a local chain with locations in Zagreb and Belgrade and makes consistent efforts to be socially responsible by fundraising for local charities and causes.
Located on the Riva just off the main walking area with a view of the port, this is a popular millennial meet-up spot for a drink and some good eats---a good place to come if you want to get the vibe of the city while enjoying a burger or a tuna steak that is one step above typical pub food. The menu features lighter tapas-style meals, but the entrees are equally inviting. There is often live music, and it can get crowded in the evenings on weekends. The desserts are often reason enough to take a seat and have a drink.
