Valli Delicious - One Visit This is definitely a must-visit restaurant in Pula. Our tip is to go late afternoon, enjoy the cool sea breeze and views while enjoying the dining experience. You know it will be a dining adventure when you are offered four different styles of local olive oils to get with each dish. Going late afternoon allows the team to spend time with you, explaining the food, tasting a variety of wines and giving you insider tips on where to visit in Pula. The menu is small and wonderful, you will not be disappointed, this is not your typical Pula style restaurant. The passion of the team for the food, wine and culture shows through at this restaurant.

Pula Arena The Arena is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre to have four side towers and with all three Roman architectural orders entirely preserved. It was constructed in 27 BC – 68 AD and is among the world's six largest surviving Roman arenas. A rare example among the 200 surviving Roman amphitheatres, it is also the best-preserved ancient monument in Croatia.

Meating Restaurant & Lounge Bar - One Visit A nice casual place that has views of the harbour and serves simple good quality food. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy a bottle of Medea Brut. You'll get a great cool ocean breeze in the late afternoon. The staff are super friendly.

Captain Emo City Apartments - Twelve Nights This fully equipped apartment stands out in a crowded market of offerings in Pula. The apartment is very modern, clean and very stylish. Magical sunsets, a swimming pool, outdoor seating area, and a fully equipped kitchen makes this a rarity in Pula. The apartment is close to the old town centre, shops and all the major scenic attractions. The service is impeccable and you are made to feel very welcome. We booked for three nights in Apartment 6 and ended up staying seven. We would have stayed longer, unfortunately, they were booked out.

Knjižara So Not too often, I write a review about a bookshop; this is one special bookshop. It sells books written in English (winning). The gentleman who owns the shop is very welcoming and helped us select some reading material while travelling through beautiful Montenegro.

Caffe pizzeria 5 - One Visit Perfect breakfast venue for a big hearty breakfast, with great coffee, it is located in the old town, probably best as a breakfast venue.

Stanica Skver - One Visit Nice place next to the bay, sit and soak up some sun and enjoy a drink (try to stay away from the cocktails, just not enough kick for me). However, the wines are of great value. Something just doesn't seem work at this place, I think it's more the service level and to be honest, you really do wonder if it's had better days. This place has so much potential, just let down by the service and quality of the cocktails.

Portofino - One Visit What a great find, this beautiful restaurant is situated right in the old town with a choice of views, either the old cathedral or the bay. As it was quiet, we got to spend time with the chef and team. Great quality food, fresh, served with a smile and laugh. I only wished we had found this place earlier in our stay. Our advice avoid the main restaurant sea on the bay and head up to this place for quality food with a great view and perfect for people watching.

Bistro "Kod Špira" - Two Visits Finally, a place that serves great cocktails, right opposite the cathedral in the old town. Full of locals and the team is full of smiles and great service. We also caught up on some work here, great wifi, people watching, coffee, sunshine, and during normal seasons they serve breakfast.

Beach Bar Comeback - One Visit Excellent beach bar only five minutes from the centre of Rovinj. Beach bar "Come back" - Rovinj. It's raw, so don't expect anything fancy; however, the live music, view and drinks make up for the lack of facilities. Nothing beats listening to live music outside whilst enjoying a drink and the beautiful views of Rovinj. Beach bar "Come back" - Rovin.j
