Street sea food place in the centre of Pula. We use modern food such as tuna, but also traditional such as sardines- all prepared in modern ways. Our fish is all fresh because the restaurant is run by two fishermen.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We ate mixed fried food and tortilla with shrimp, I'm sorry I didn't take a photo to show the portions.
The frying was of excellent quality and truly plentiful, that would have been enough for both of us. The tortilla pleasantly surprised me, slightly spicy and very tasty, all accompanied by french fries.
We paid €43 for these two dishes with a coke and a half beer.
In my opinion, a very honest price for the quality and quantity.
There was a bit of a wait but as it was an August evening and the place was full it could fit!
I highly recommend.

Street food style restaurant in the heart of the historic center of Pula but with quality food. Excellent value for money. The mixed fry (you could feel that the fish was not frozen) and the Tuna steak burger sandwich were highly recommended.

We ate 2 freshly made fried fish (the wait was more than justified). Generous portion, good fish and well cooked. Super nice waiter. I think I'll see you again tomorrow evening....

Really, really bad value for money. 3 small fish tacos for a whopping €18!!!! with a tiny piece of fish inside, half of which is breadcrumbs. The prawn tortillas contain miniature prawns, not even the better tasting and higher quality ones in the "normal size". Beer for €5!!! I would be surprised if anyone would buy overpriced merchandise in the associated shop after such an experience. People, please stop ripping people off!!!
We spent €42 and left thirsty and hungry! A really disappointing experience :(

Interesting and surprising culinary experience! Matron Sandro was perfect in recommending the Tuna Burger... delicious. Mixed frying and squid top! Un consiglio un po meno patatine.... Thanks we will definitely be back.

The food is indeed tasty, but considering the fact that this is supposed to be a street food restaurant, I'd say the prices are pretty high.
The service was great until we paid and realized that they charged us some drinks that we never ordered which made us feel quite disappointed because we were really enjoying our meal up to that point.
If you want good fish food, I suppose this is a good place, but make sure to check the bill carefully.

One waiter got our drinks wrong. He never returned with the correct one.
My son went inside to pick cutlery ( why were they not brought to us?) and he got laughed at for picking them from the wrong place.
3 persons got their food ok. 2 of us were waiting for 30 minutes and when asking for our fish and chips and the shrimpmeal the waiter said: “You didnt order them!”
No apologies, no attempt to fix the situation, blaming the customer for not ordering??? I myself ordered all 5 portions, I have no idea how he lost the last two. Really terrible feeling that the customer is worth nothing. The food was fine though- I was told. Not cheap though. Meal for 3 total of 75€.
Anyone can make a mistake but the attitude when it is discovered makes all the difference.

This place looks like a chic fast-food place, but prices are like in Michelin star place.
Pint of beer - 6 EUR, Sardine snack (literally 4 sardines, 2 slices of bread and some garnish) 8 EUR, fish and chips (very very average in taste and serving size) 18 EUR.
Highly recommend avoiding this place, you can find much better meals in Pula. Poor value for money.

We waited around 45 mins to get served, but the food was way below our expectations. FRITTO MISTO was so salty we couldn't finish, the HOT TUNA burger/sandwich was basically a big piece of dry black bread with some red cabbage and 3 tiny pieces of fish in average mayo inside. If I want bread I rather go to a bakery for a better quality and price. Overpriced & bad. Stay away!

Service wasn't good. The man seemed happy enough but the woman who served us was absolutely miserable, did not smile once. The food was expensive for what it was, definitely not £ like advertised on here. The chips were cold so god knows how long they'd been sitting there. I asked for mayo and it was 8 kunas which was surprising as I would've thought it was free. Overall, most disappointing meal of my holiday

OK- Not very memorable and a bit expensive. Food was decent but nothing special. Expensive compared to other places too. Charging even for letchup for chips on top of those prices is pretty ridiculous as well.
Black bun was unfortunately quite dry and stodgy. Tuna itself well cooked and tasty but not much of it. Chips good. Slaw average.

We were on a guided walking tour and spotted the food here. We decided to retrace our steps and eventually got seating for the 3 of us. We wanted to see a menu ( the small version on display outside was behind someone who was eating so I didn’t want to “look through” them). When asked for a menu the waitress was really rude and arrogant but eventually agreed to let us see the “Crown Jewels”. Service continued with bad manners until it was time to pay the bill. Suddenly we now mattered. Food was ok, but looked better than it tasted. We left without giving a tip, something we virtually never do.

The lady waitress had a miserable face on her when walking around serving, and was equally the same taking our order and bringing it to us. The fish and chips were fairly bland and I feel it needed more spice to the dish. My partners cheese tuna burger was decent enough, but both our chips were served not very hot. The highlight was the lady playing the violin across the street, she was wonderful and saved our meal from a catastrophic disaster.

The hot tuna and trentino spritzer are highly recommended! Good atmosphere, friendly spontaneous and cheerfull staf willing to go the extra mile! They worked there buts off around lunch so we went back a bit later. Just to be Nice! But it would definitely been worth the waait!
We even got a free shot of the trentino liquor and were friendly given directions when asked where to buy…
We were kindly awaited after leaving the neighbouring shop showing the staff the spoils.
The bosses of this place did perfect by hiring these two!!!

Amazing place! Highly recommend. Great atmosphere, busy with a friendly vibe. We chose to share a couple of starters and chips between us both for a light lunch We were not disappointed!
Sardines were delious and perfect on top of lightly toasted focaccia. Chips were crispy and cut to allow the scooping of mayonnaise and tomato sauce. Ingenious!! Staff were friendly andattentive. Definitely worth a visit! 5🌟
