Kantina

Hidden behind the main market, this lovely terrace restaurant serves Istrian delicacies in a converted Habsburg villa. The decor is contemporary, as is the careful presentation of the food. Truffles feature heavily, either with steak or, more traditionally, with fuži, Istrian pasta twists. There are plenty of greens, rocket particularly, some 40 types of wine and the cake selection is outstanding. Kantina’s small coffee bar serves toasted sandwiches and filled baguettes if you’re pushed for time.
