Rivica

An 80-year-old family business that has morphed into one of the Kvarner Gulf’s best-known gastronomic destinations, the smart, stylish Rivica is one of those places that strikes an almost perfect balance between local cuisine and modern European fine-dining expectations. The menu is obviously Mediterranean-seafood based, with plenty of favourites from the local recipe books (shrimp and courgette risotto), Kvarner classics such as škampi buzara (scampi in wine sauce), and the odd fusion recipe (a tuna starter with wasabi and soy sauce). If you just want expertly grilled fresh white fish, then Rivica is one of the best places to dig in.
