Pet Bunara

On the edge of Zadar’s historic quarter, steps from Pet Bunara Square, this Slow Food–inspired restaurant invites you to linger and enjoy your meal. Sit inside the exposed-stone dining room or out on a terrace fringed with olive trees. The menu highlights updated traditional Dalmatian dishes, prepared with local, mostly organic, ingredients. All the breads, pastas, and gnocchi are made on the premises. Try orzotto, a pearl-barley stew with smoked mussels, or the excellent octopus salad. For those with a sweet tooth, the fig cakes are divine.
