About
Although keeping its well-known tradition for more than 50 years, „2 Ribara“ restaurant is a modern and refined place to dine. It is situated in the very center of the old city of Zadar, the essence of the town's peninsula. The restaurant offers a variety of carefully prepared dishes, including fresh fish or tasty meat meals, fine pasta courses or various pizzas baked in a traditional wood-fired oven. All menus will surely be complemented by a wide range of carefully selected local wines from Zadar area. We also organize events for larger parties, such as wedding banquets, diverse receptions and other festivities of such kind. Our seating capacity can be extended for such purposes so that our hall can accomodate up to 100, while the terrace holds 70 people. It's excellence is praised by the Mayor of Zadar who presented „2 Ribara“ with an award „Nasmijeseno sunce“ for the best restaurant in the tourist season 2011. More global, we earned the Trip Advisor's „Certificate of Excellence“ for consistently earning great reviews from travelers. Not to stop at that, our restaurant is still constantly among Top 10 restaurants in Zadar. Our perfect location and impeccable lasting reputation along with amazing food and domestic beverages will definitely allure you to come and visit us as soon as possible.

The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a sea food pasta starter and the main courses of the baby ribs and salmon. All the dishes were delicious and very filling as neither of us managed to finish our food. The best part of our experience was our waiter Andre, who assisted us with our order and recommended local places to go and see to enhance our stay in Zadar. We nearly made the cardinal mistake of over-ordering food as we never know the portions of the starters. After a polite steer, we re-adjusted our order which only enhanced our experience. As you can see from the photo, the baby ribs are not very baby and great value for money at only 115HRK.
I would 100% recommended this restaurant for a nice romantic dinner.

The first night we visited Zadar we ate dinner here. And since we loved the service and the food we came back the second night. My boyfriend ordered the salmon steak (twice) and I ordered the pasta with sea food and the caesar salad. It was delicious. Next to that we drank their housewines which were good also (I loved the rosé). The overall delicious food also gets finished off with a great service, we had a tall gentleman with black hair, we forgot to asks his name but we enjoyed his work very much. We would totally recommend visiting this place since it’s really worth its price!!

My wife and I had dinner here and were very impressed. We split a seafood starter and a grilled seafood platter for two as the main. Both were excellent. The grilled sea bass, in particular, was extremely well done. Service was generally good although a little slow. Highly recommended for seafood.

Restaurant for tourists. Tasteless food, the worst calamari portion we’ve ever seen. The tuna steak was ok, however too expensive for the small portion when we complained about the calamari, the waiter informed us that they serve frozen sea food. At least they didn’t charge for the calamari, because my husband didn’t eat it.

The food was amazing. We usually like to explore different restaurant, but food here was so delicious that we had to revisit it.
Special mention for Dominic, who was very courteous and explained us the secret of the fish recipes from the region

It was a great experience. We ordered a black risotto and grilled squids. Both meals were really great, in a sense of both taste and quantity - good options for those seeking local seafood meals. Also the outside terrace is nice and comfortable and the staff was friendly and polite. Highly recommended!

Our server, Dominic, was extremely fluent in English, which was amazing because unfortunately we don’t speak Croatian. The service was quick and the food was amazing. There was a wide range of dishes to choose from - making it very hard to pick (in a good way)!
We were given complimentary drinks and had a lovely experience in their outside dining area. Hopefully we will be returning again during our visit :)

Outdoor seating in one of the busy pedestrian routes. Tasty food and knowledgeable waiters. I requested advice for a gluten-free option and selected the shrimp risotto which was delicious. The pasta was fresh and full of seafood.

The kind young waitress saved us a table after we had called by and couldn’t get seated outside. Half hour later we were all set. She gave us good service and red wine recommended was good.
The food was mostly good, my wife enjoyed her fish. However my fillet steak was very disappointing. I have yet to learn if this is the normal standard for cooking a fine piece of meat as we have only been in Croatia for a couple of days. It looked like it had been found in a house fire. I guess it had been scorched to death on a griddle. I would suggest they pan fry on high heat in a little butter and treat this fine cut better than a burger.

Absolutely superb food. The ‘three fish’ dish was a great array of fish which was well cooked and delicious. My partner had tagliatelle with shrimps and courgettes which was equally great too. Very friendly service and very well priced. Would thoroughly recommend!

Lovely outdoor seating on a narrow but very calm old traditional Dalmatian street in the middle of the otherwise bustling Zadar old town.
The staff was attentive and the food was simply amazing. We had the local specialty starter; black risotto, which is a must-try in Zadar (or in Dalmatia in general) and it was absolutely fantastic! We then had the seafood platter for two in which everything was absolutely delicious (perhaps the tuna steak was slightly overcooked and on the dry side) but a word of warning; you get a loooot of food! If you're going for the seafood platter, don't order any starter or anything else, it will more than fill you up!
Wine recommendation was wonderful as well. Can't recommend this place enough, will absolutely come back!

We had dinner for four and ordered a steak plate, grilled sea bass, and greek salad with salmon. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. A young waiter that served us was highly professional and nice! And I recommend dalmatinska rožata, too. :)

What a great experience! Good food, company ;) and atmosphere. Our server was fantastic, so friendly and welcoming and made our experience even better. Truly a memorable meal. The service was above and beyond. Our friend had the gnocchi, which wasn’t just a wee bit of gnocchi, but rather a very decent sized amount which elicited a mouthwatering reaction from her immediately. She loved it 10/10, maybe an 11 out of 10 at a push. I couldn’t recommend dining at this establishment more. A very incredible vibe and overall experience. Special shout-out to Dom for being an enthusiastic, fun and adventurous server. Made our time here so incredibly enjoyable. Thank you 2Ribara for such a delightful culinary expedition.

Great restaurant and easily our favourite that we tried. Get a table out on the main street for best atmosphere. Our waiter was Bruno and what a nice guy. His service was impeccable and it was lovely chatting with him. We had cheese plate and anchovies to start with lovely homemade bread, followed by sea bass and black cuttlefish risotto. Really terrific food. We had a glass of rose wine and four glasses of a delicious Grasevina, and a large bottle of water. Total bill was €60 which was the best value we had during our whole stay. If we'd stayed in Zadar longer we'd have definitely returned, unfortunately we've had to move on to Split.
