Balbi Restaurant - Three Visits This wife-and-husband-owned restaurant serves fabulous fresh seafood with minimal fuss in a great central location in Rovinj. This seafood restaurant is a must-visit in Rovinj; be advised to book early to secure a table. Make sure you check out the extensive Croatian wine list. Let's say we enjoyed a great lunch (non-busy time). Great food, wine, conversations with local friends, and some grappa with the owner at the end—happy days. This place also makes an excellent al-carte breakfast.

El Corsaro 2 - 13 Nights It's a terrific value Airbnb, and the pictures don't do it justice. It is a great location to explore Rovinj, which has fantastic ocean views. The place has two bathrooms, a rarity for a single bedroom Airbnb, with a fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. Little things, like plenty of cleaning products and a spacious living area, make it one of the best Airbnbs available in Rovinj at this price point. We promise you will get a magnificent sunset from the living room and bedroom every night. Tom, who manages this Airbnb, also works at The Melegran, so drop by for a cocktail.

Molo Grande Caffe bar - Ten Visits Full of personality, a great find! Delicious cocktails, friendly staff, and the perfect spot to enjoy those famous Rovinj sunsets over the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic. This place always has a friendly, relaxed vibe and is a favourite amongst locals. After two months of enjoying the charming town, it is one of our favourite bars in Rovinj. Nicole creates some great cocktails. Thank you to Martina and Zoran, who have made us feel incredibly welcomed and made our time so unique. We are leaving a piece of our hearts with you all.

Tsuki sushi restaurant A brand new sushi restaurant is such a great find on the outskirts of Rovinj centre. Great fresh food at very reasonable pricing: this is where locals will definitely be heading instead of some of the more touristy traps in Rovinj.

Riviera Aperitive Bar - Ten Visits Our local bar is excellent for better-value cocktails while still getting the Rovinj sunset. I would consider the quality of the cocktails higher than most places in Rovinj. This place is open late and always has a great vibe. On the weekend, a DJ plays a great mix.

Puntulina Seaview Apartment - Nine Nights It's not even our first night, and this apartment has exceeded our expectations. It's not even our first night, and this apartment has exceeded our expectations. Sea views, facilities, and location are all perfect. The family owns La Puntulina, a must-dine restaurant in Rovinj. This fully furnished apartment includes everything for an extended stay in Rovinj. Amazing sunsets, and you're in the heart of the old walled town.

Mediterraneo Cocktail Bar - Three Visits This is a great, cosy cocktail bar away from the crowd that serves high-quality cocktails (e.g., giant ice cubes) Sorry, there were not many photographs, as we focused on enjoying the cocktails and the view. This place is very popular with tourists, so be warned. One other warning: stick to anything that doesn't include their simple syrup (it tends to ruin their cocktails), and go for the classic like a negroni.

Buffet Trevisol - Three Visits It is the perfect little cafe, serving breakfast until midday (which is way more our style). Situated just off the main street, this place also serves excellent coffee. Situated just off the main street, this place serves excellent coffee, light meals and cocktails. It's perfect for sitting and catching sun on your legs while drinking coffee. You'll love all the colourful pillows and chairs.

La Puntulina - Ten Visits After eating here ten times, we understand why people keep visiting this beautiful restaurant. The location is impressive, and the food lives up to the view. In our opinion, it would be better to have a long, lazy lunch, as that would give the team more time with you and allow you to enjoy the food, wine, and views. This place is always busy, so you must book days in advance. One insider tip: if you cannot book, go at least for sunset drinks. Rebecca is the host and part of the family that owns this beautiful restaurant. While Jody is cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Vestrum Beach - Three Visits A nice little beach bar serving drinks, perfect spot to avoid the crowds from the centre of Rovinj while still watching the sunset and listening to cool tunes. If you're lucky you'll catch one of the local bands playing. I would recommend coming to this place at least once. We will be revisiting this place on our return visit to Rovinj.
