Istra
This is where locals go for a special meal. In addition to the usual offerings of grilled fish, spaghetti and calamari there are delicious local specialities such as a mixed seafood starter and mučkalica (stewed chicken and vegetables in a spicy sauce). There's a cosy interior and a covered terrace with wooden booths.

Kantina
In an old Austro-Hungarian building, this beamed cellar has been re-done in a modern style. The Mediterranean-influenced dishes here won't help you fit into your bikini, but you'll appreciate the ravioli stuffed with pršut (prosciutto) and turkey breast stuffed with local cheese.

Vodnjanka
Locals rave about the home cooking here. It's cheap and casual, and the small menu concentrates on simple Istrian dishes, which means that vegetarians will not be pleased. To get here, walk south on Radićeva to Vitežića.

Veli Jože
Though somewhat more expensive than Cantinon, this is a good place to try Istrian dishes, either in an interior crammed with knick-knacks or on outdoor tables. Try the bakalar (cod) in a white sauce, or baked lamb with potatoes.

Truffles are one of Istria's most precious products and you can taste them here in pasta, with beef or fresh tuna. The fish and shellfish is also excellent, and be sure to look for the special asparagus dishes in season.
