One month in Rovinj

Rovinj is a Croatian fishing port on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula. The old town stands on a headland, with houses tightly crowded to the seafront. A tangle of cobbled streets leads to the hilltop church of St. Euphemia, whose towering steeple dominates the skyline. Lone Bay, one of the area’s pebble beaches, is south of the old town.

Dine

La Puntulina

The destination place to eat to enjoy the magical sunsets, book early (e.g. days in advance or before you even arrive).

Tsuki sushi restaurant

A brand new sushi restaurant is such a great find on the outskirts of Rovinj

centre.

Tone

It is a tremendous gourmet burger restaurant where you sit in a beautiful square and people-watch.

Balbi Restaurant

This wife-and-husband-owned restaurant serves fabulous fresh seafood with a minimum of fuss in a great central location in Rovinj.

Buffet Trevisol

It's a perfect little cafe serving breakfast till midday (way more our style).

Giannino Restaurant

A beautiful Italian seafood restaurant located in one of the old laneways in Rovinj.

Hotel Adriatic

We usually avoid Hotels for breakfast; however, the Hotel Adriatic is very different. They serve an à la carte breakfast until midday, which is way more civilised.

Drink

Mediterraneo Cocktail Bar

It is a great, cosy cocktail bar away from the crowds and serves high-quality cocktails.

Riviera aperitive bar

Our local bar is excellent for better-value cocktails while still getting the Rovinj sunset.

Molo Grande Caffe bar

Our other local is a nice small bar with a great view of those famous Rovinj sunsets.

Vestrum Beach

It is a nice little beach bar serving drinks, a perfect spot to avoid the crowds from the centre of Rovinj while still watching the sunset and listening to cool tunes.

The Melegran

Some days, it just gets so hot in Rovinj that you want to sit in a cocktail bar with air conditioning while still enjoying the charming views.
