Restaurant Oasi

Attached to the four-star boutique hotel of the same name with spa and outdoor pool, the Oasi is unsurprisingly classy, the kind of place that makes it worth the taxi journey from town if you’re not staying down here by the marina. Cream of shrimp soup is embellished with fresh black truffles, that’s home-made gnocchi with the beef ragout and Grana Padano cheese, the swordfish is marinated in olive oil and herbs while the fillet of sea bass comes in a sauce of sparkling wine. This is also one of the best spots in Pula for steak. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of fare, presentation and service, while the enclosed garden terrace lends a little intimacy.
