Modern tweaks on traditional Croatian classics and fabulous service make Lanterna stand out amid the central city's glut of restaurants. In the cosy basement with brick-vaulted ceiling, dig into mains of plum-stuffed pork loin doused in a brandy and plum jus or steak in a pickled pepper sauce. There's an excellent wine list here, too.
