Plavi Podrum, Opatija
Fresh Kvarner scampi (l, d; €€€)
The Opatija region is famous for its fine restaurants and Plavi podrum, nestling on a curve of Volosko’s fishing harbour, is one of the finest. Serving local seafood with a touch of Modern-European style and invention, it’s a great place to sample local fish, shells, and especially scampi, which are served here in a number of different (but all equally delectable) ways.
Owner Daniela Kramarić is one of Croatia’s leading sommeliers; this is one place where you can splash out on the wine list without fear of what it is you might be buying.
The outdoor terrace, facing the bobbing boats in the harbour, is fittingly romantic.
