Restaurants, cafés and bakeries in Crikvenica

Restoran Francesco opened in Sukošan in 2012 and combines a sea-view terrace with Mediterranean cooking led by chef Frane Pavić. Fish, homemade pasta and Croatian wines are central to the restaurant's identity. The menu is broad enough for a leisurely seafood meal, a plate of pasta or a family table with different preferences. Starters include sea-bass carpaccio, tuna tartare, octopus salad and cuttlefish arancini. Among the pasta dishes, pljukanci appear with scampi and clams, truffles or porcini. Black risotto and a seasonal vegetable risotto offer alternatives. For a main course, the restaurant lists grilled sea bream, tuna, squid and octopus, alongside shellfish prepared buzara-style and a fish platter for two. Meat dishes include lamb chops, veal chop and Dalmatian pašticada. A separate children's selection lists breaded chicken and spaghetti bolognese. Desserts include homemade panna cotta, cake, chocolate soufflé and pancakes, giving the table several ways to finish without committing to a set menu. The wine list is especially useful for exploring Croatia by the glass or bottle. It includes Dalmatian Pošip and Maraština, Istrian Malvazija, reds from the Benkovac area, and bottles from Slavonia and the Croatian Uplands. Ask the team which suits your chosen dish and preferred style. For a terrace table or a meal built around fresh fish, contact the restaurant in advance and confirm the day's availability.

Dr. Franje Tuđmana 117, 23206 Sukošan

+38523394900

Restaurant Joso overlooks Zlatna Luka bay in Sukošan, beside the Adriatic road. The family business describes more than twenty-five years of restaurant tradition, with a menu built around Dalmatian cooking, grilled fish and meat, and pizza. Its terrace faces the sea, Marina Dalmacija and the Zadar Channel, giving the meal a clear connection to this stretch of coast. Fish is a particular reason to look at the day's choices. The restaurant works with local fishermen and explains that its fresh-fish selection depends on their catch. Ask the team what is available and how it will be prepared before settling on a dish. Guests who prefer meat can choose from the grill, so a shared table does not have to follow an exclusively seafood menu. Pizza is another established part of the offer, baked in a wood-fired bread oven. That makes Joso useful when some diners want a straightforward pizza while others want a fuller Dalmatian meal. The restaurant has both an indoor dining room and a sea-facing terrace, allowing you to discuss the setting you prefer when booking. Joso forms part of the hotel of the same name at Dr. Franje Tuđmana 117. Guest parking is available in front of the building. Its published opening span runs from early morning until late evening; contact the restaurant about the service you want, current fish availability and a table on the terrace.

Rudina 10, 23206 Sukošan

+38523393303

Konoba Kod Guste is a Dalmatian restaurant on Rudina in the centre of Sukošan. Fish, shellfish, risotto and homemade pasta form a substantial part of its menu, with grilled meats alongside them. It is a useful address for exploring several familiar coastal preparations in one meal, whether the table wants seafood throughout or a mixture of fish and meat. The cold starters set out that regional approach clearly: octopus salad, salted sardines and marinated anchovies appear beside Dalmatian prosciutto and Pag cheese. In the pasta section, look for homemade makaruni with scampi or green noodles with monkfish. Risotto choices include scampi, seafood and black risotto, so the first course can be as important as the main dish. The seafood menu ranges from mussels and grilled or fried squid to sea-bass fillet and tuna steak. Scampi are offered grilled or prepared buzara-style. Meat choices include beef steak, T-bone steak, veal and pork chops, and grilled turkey. Swiss chard, boiled potatoes and grilled vegetables appear among the sides, allowing diners to build a meal around the preparation they prefer. For dessert, the menu lists rožata, panna cotta, pancakes and cake. Kod Guste also operates rooms, but restaurant enquiries go directly to the business at Rudina 10. Contact the team to check the day's fish, current service hours and table availability. If you are planning a meal around a particular homemade pasta or seafood dish, mention it when booking so the kitchen can confirm what is available.

Trg Ruševac 4, 23206 Sukošan

+385993801802

Konoba Griblja occupies a traditional stone building on Trg Ruševac in Sukošan, close to the waterfront. The interior draws on Dalmatian household objects and handwork, while a fireplace and a summer terrace give the restaurant different settings through the seasons. The kitchen, associated with chef Braco Sanjin, brings a contemporary approach to regional ingredients and recipes. The menu gives seafood several distinct roles. A meal can begin with marinated Adriatic sardines, scampi pâté or tuna tartare. One especially characteristic dish is cuttlefish trisotto, combining barley, wheat and rice. Homemade tagliatelle with scampi, dried tomato and pistachio offers another route, while the fish section includes grilled squid, tuna steak and shellfish preparations. For a shared main course, ask about gregada, the fish stew offered for two. There are also meat dishes, including lamb chops and beef steak served with a varenik-based sauce, almond purée and grilled courgette. Dessert continues the regional thread with Dalmatian rožata; a dark-chocolate mousse with olive oil and sea salt provides a different finish. These dishes help you choose the style of meal before discussing current availability with the team. Griblja's wine selection reaches across Croatian regions. A separate small room is available for private dining, making advance contact useful for a family gathering or a more intimate group meal. When booking, confirm service times and whether you would prefer the terrace, main dining space or private room.

Restoran Veseljak is a longstanding Sukošan address on Dr. Franje Tuđmana 161.

The restaurant advertises vegetarian options as well as pancakes and other desserts. Contact the team for the current main-course selection if you are planning a meal around a particular dish or dietary requirement.

Outdoor seating gives another way to enjoy a meal, while the indoor space is air-conditioned. Parking and Wi-Fi are listed among the facilities. The restaurant welcomes pets, which may be useful when arranging a meal with a dog; mention this when enquiring so the team can advise on a suitable table. Veseljak publishes Monday-to-Saturday hours from early morning into the evening and lists Sunday as closed. For a visit outside the main holiday season, confirm the day's service directly before travelling.

Restaurant Orkula

Biograd na Moru · Mediterranean · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood

Fra Lina Pedišića 27, 23210 Biograd na Moru

+385959040067

Mon–Sun 16:00–22:00

Restaurant Orkula is the project of Ivanka and Ivo Šimurina on Fra Lina Pedišića in Biograd na Moru. Before opening their own restaurant, the hosts gained more than twenty years of experience in restaurants in Croatia and Germany. Their approach centers on welcoming diners into a place that feels personal, with natural materials and Dalmatian design chosen to keep the setting connected to its surroundings. The shaded terrace is a defining feature. Kiwi plants, flowers and nearby pine trees contribute to a quieter setting away from the busiest part of town. The kitchen combines traditional dishes with international choices, using selected suppliers alongside products made by the house. Beefsteak wrapped in bacon is one of its particular specialties, while other preparations of beef fillet give meat eaters several alternatives. Seafood has an equally clear place: scampi, Adriatic calamari and fish baked in salt are among the dishes the hosts highlight. Grilled fish comes with Swiss chard and boiled potatoes, and the kitchen pays attention even to the wood used for grilling. Pašticada, the Dalmatian beef stew, adds a regional slow cooked option. Larger groups can be accommodated by arrangement, and a special menu can be discussed with the restaurant. Reservations are available online. For diners arriving by car, the restaurant offers free parking, while takeaway is available for those who prefer to eat elsewhere. The result is a restaurant built around its hosts' cooking experience, a planted terrace and familiar Dalmatian ingredients.

The grill section includes ćevapi, pljeskavica, pork skewers and chicken, alongside a separate selection of steaks. The house beefsteak incorporates prosciutto and cheese, while the Stari Grad platter brings together beef fillet, rump steak, chicken and lamb chop.

Children have their own section, including small ćevapčići, fish sticks and breaded chicken. Homemade cakes and pancakes with ice cream round out the food. Outdoor seating gives diners another setting, and the restaurant offers Wi-Fi. The menu is also available for takeaway, so a meal can be collected to eat elsewhere.

Mon–Sun 08:00–00:00

Restaurant Carpymore brings together a hotel dining room, a terrace and a pizzeria on Kralja Tvrtka in central Biograd na Moru. The waterfront is only a short distance away, and the restaurant welcomes people who are staying elsewhere as well as hotel guests. Its cooking combines Mediterranean and Croatian dishes with Austrian influences, giving the menu a broader range than the pizzeria name alone might suggest. Pizza comes from a wood oven, while homemade pasta and seasonal ingredients form another part of the kitchen's identity.

Guests can choose a full meal or something simpler, with fresh bread and ice cream among the other offerings. A buffet is also available. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are part of the selection, and the kitchen offers gluten free choices. This makes the restaurant a practical possibility for a group whose members want different kinds of food.

Restoran Đardin

Tkon · Fish and seafood · Delivery · Seating indoors

Na Mulu 35, 23212 Tkon

+38523285016

Mon–Sun 12:00–23:00

Restoran Đardin stands on Na Mulu in Tkon, on the island of Pašman. Its sea facing terrace and indoor dining area offer two different settings for a meal, and an enclosed seating section adds another option within the restaurant. The menu moves between Adriatic ingredients, pasta and familiar international dishes. Cold starters include Dalmatian prosciutto and mixed cheeses, alongside a seafood selection with marinated anchovies, octopus, prawns, tuna tartare and fish pâté. A separate house platter combines cured ham, cheese and beef carpaccio with fig cream, olives and tomatoes. Pasta is particularly varied. Handmade paccheri pair prawns with dried tomatoes and pistachio cream, while other choices include tagliatelle with salmon and gorgonzola or pljukanci with beef. Homemade black cuttlefish gnocchi come with prawns and white wine; another gnocchi dish combines chicken and spinach and is finished in the bread oven. Risottos include black cuttlefish, vegetables, and a prawn version with citrus and herbs. The fish section offers grilled bream, tuna steak, fresh fish fillet and calamari, with Swiss chard and potatoes appearing as accompaniments. Prawns baked with polenta and mussels prepared as buzara continue the coastal theme. Guests can reserve a table directly with the restaurant. Đardin also takes delivery orders by telephone for Tkon, Ugrinić and Kraj, giving people staying in those settlements another way to enjoy its cooking. For a visit from Biograd, its island location is part of the outing rather than a mainland restaurant stop.
