My wife and I spent six days in Zadar, eating at a different restaurant for lunch and dinner. Rafelo's, recommended to us by our B&B owner, was our final meal. What a mistake.

(Removed and reposted for editing purposes.) My boyfriend and I went here twice on our trip to Zadar last summer. We wish we had gone more! This coming summer, we will be heading further south for vacation, but my boyfriend said he wanted to stop in Zadar JUST to go to Rafaelo's again. (He's from Crikvenica - which is further... More

We chose to eat at Konoba Rafaelo's after reading about it on tripadvisor. We reserved a table. It was on my husband's birthday, and as he does enjoy the program 'Man vs Food', it was a delight to see a large portion of food set before him!! I had ordered the breaded chicken fillet and I was given two, which... More

Had a short break to Zadar with friends recently and this place was recommended to us. It was so good we went twice. The steaks were amazing especially the chateaubriand. Wow. Try it if you are in beautiful Zadar!
