About
First restaurant in Croatia to have set the postulates on slow-food, it maintains his continuity of the culture of the table and numerous contents connected to that. The eno-gastro story which you will experience in Kukuriku, lifts the consummation at a higher level and accentuates hedonism. In Kukuriku’s kitchen there are recipes being created every day and they are based on the daily offer of the local market and on the gifts of nature found in the area of Kastav. The chefs, like jazz musicians, improvise with fine groceries and create dishes which stress out the local taste and scent. The complexity of the tastes, the luxury of the forms and of the colors on the plate, represent a sensation for the taste buds and for the eyes, and really celebrate food. We also have a very rich offer of vegan and vegetarian meals.

We loved everything: the ambient, the food, all the wine... We chose the fish menu and we let the host surprise us with the selection of food - it was amazing. Mr. Nenad Kukurin also served us different types of wine and we enjoyed it a lot.

I had an amazing dinner experience at Kukuriku restaurant! The food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the menu was varied and impressive. I especially loved the local food which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend Kukuriku restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

On the occasion of my birthday we had chosen the restaurant Kukuriku for a dinner because of the very good reviews on the Internet.
The food was a single disappointment.
Here the price-performance ratio is not right at all.
The three courses of our menu were very simple to say the least. The “meat specialties” could also have passed as a small cold cuts plate. The “fish specialties” were no better either.
The remaining courses were also not convincing at all in terms of quality and ingredients.
Here the price-performance ratio is in no way right.
In the end, the bill was over €190, containing 2 glasses of rose sparkling wine and two glasses of wine.
The service also left much to be desired. He didn't live up to a restaurant with such a claim at all.
A little tip: If you want food in Kastav not only good but very good and at a fair price, combined with exemplary service, you should visit the restaurant “Louza”. We were there three times and loved every time!

I used to love this place 4 years ago, but today I was shocked :( we came just for desserts and coffee, although we could go in any other place in Opatija or Volosko. The Semifreddo was very fluffy made with pumpkin seed oil. The consistency was not frozen at all, it was perhaps brought too late to the table?! However, it was pumpkin all over, not bad, but very dominant as flavor. The strudel in glas was average at most.
I complained about the semifreddo and the reaction of the waiter was: "You know this is not ice cream? It shall be like that. It is not liquid, so its semifreddo." So, now we learned that every cream that cannot be drank and is cold is called semifreddo 🤣🤣🤣
I was offended that I do not know what is the difference between ice and semifreddo, I felt not welcomed, and was extra surprised since people with us are known and respected (as they thought) in this place.

Exellent dinning experience in the middle of the old town Kastav.
We were very delighted with the food and wines that they served to us, as well as the exceptionally professional staff that works there.
I would highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back again.

What a beautiful feast of good food. Scampi where a real treat and the slow cooked lamb was out of this world... excellent service and the musician who sang Beatles songs made it an evening to remember.

Beautiful location! The restaurant is located in the square of the historic center. It is certainly a good reason to visit the hamlet and move from Opatija.
Everything was very well looked after, friendly staff.
After reading the reviews and the various guides that recommended it we decided to try it. However, we were a little disappointed, but perhaps because we had very high expectations... we were expecting something different! We tasted fish dishes, but they were all good.

A super 4-course menu of the highest quality. Plus champagne, an excellent red wine, the best grappa and first-class service.
Attentive staff and the "boss" also had time for us, even though a Croatian wedding was in full swing next door. We are delighted and would love to come back. Highly recommended.
