The best restaurant in all Pula. Hidden from Tourist craziness. Amazing prices. LOVELY AND BEAUTIFUL WAITRESSES. Will come back for sure. Please keep this quality.... I think these are the best French fries I have ever tried in my life...

One of the juiciest gems of Istria. At my 46 years old, certainly the most pleasant experience and the most delicious fish platter. Richly adorned and subtly arranged plate. The staff is relaxed, witty, friendly, and grateful, but never at the expense of promptness. If anyone else is looking for a pleasant surprise in one of the fairytale-like medieval Mediterranean streets, a warm recommendation for a visit. Keep it up, my sincerest congratulations.Until next time

We first had mussels in olive oil and wine with some bread to dip. For my wife a bit too salty, for myself a delicious finger licking start of a delicious dinner. We had the fish platter for 2, super super tasty An absolute recommendation. Paired with a lovely local wine. We're here for 3 days so we're definitely coming back!

Really great cosy and quiet atmosphere, delicious food and fast, friendly service. We had grilled calamari and fish and chips..portions not too big for one person plus the prices are a bit lower than at the other restaurants around. It is also not found directly on the main street (there are 4 tables on the main street, which you can easily miss - and we sat in the open yard), but it is worth searching for it. We will for sure return and next time try something new. :)
