Orpheus

A no-frills local spot tucked in the center of Pula, Orfej serves up the kind of straightforward Croatian and Mediterranean cooking that keeps regulars coming back — think fresh sea bream, grilled squid, and solid wood-fired pizza. It sits right near Piazza Foro, so it's easy to stumble upon, and the menu covers all the bases from seafood to meat dishes with vegetarian options in the mix too.
