Giardin

A laid-back tavern in Zadar where the menu sticks to Dalmatian classics — think brudet, black risotto, buzara, and grilled octopus, all paired with homemade bread and local wine. The food won't blow you away, but it's honest, well-executed, and the tagliatelle tastes like someone actually made it that morning. Fish soup gets particular praise, and the atmosphere is lively without trying too hard.
