Excellent experience. Fantastic food, service. The location is a dream. The prices are accessible, given the quality of the food. I would recommend booking in advance. Absolutely worth the experience.More

The restaurant is nice and the staff very friendly. But they don’t have anything vegetarian on the menu, if you ask me is sad for a restaurant on such level. They offered me pasta with tomatoes and vegetable risotto, for which I ended up paying...€ 17.More

We visited the last night of our trip and it was a perfect ending. We had the 5 course chefs menu and every course was perfect. The setting is beautiful, the wait staff are very well trained. Extremely professional yet helpful and friendly. Also very...knowledgeable about the wines as they paired perfect Croatian wines with each course. The food is creatively prepared and absolutely delicious. Worth the money - an incredible treat.More

5-star is not good enough to rate Villa Ariston. Their food is absolutely amazing, you will never fail with anything you order. View and atmosphere is stunning and romantic, their staffs are very well trained friendly & polite.

Hard to overstate how much we loved our experience dining here. Everything was absolutely wonderful, and the food and wine were among the best we've had ever. Just really, really outstanding. We've tried lots of Michelin plate and Michelin star places in Croatia, and this...is one of the very best. Also not that expensive compared to similar fine dining options. Our server and sommelier, Dean, was awesome.More

Located in the old classic villa with fantastic sea view restaurant provides unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend fish food tasting set. Trust restaurant sommeliers, they know their wines and give you best advice as they did for us. We’ve celebrated birthday at Ariston and that...was evening we’ll remember forever. Thanks to Ariston crew and mrs. Cynthia, head of stuff!More

If you want to splurge for a delicious dinner in Opatija, Restaurant Villa Ariston won’t disappoint. Excellent food and service. The foie gras and pumpkin soup were stellar.

Being a regular guest in Opatija, and visiting several restaurants it is obvious, that this is the best one! The location is outstanding, sitting just above the see, the staff is profesional, food is fine, and they have really good local wines. Compared to the...nice location, excellent staff and fine dining food it is not expensive at all!More

We visited Ariston for a family holiday dinner and were not disappointed. A very good dinner, definitely fine dining, with excellent staff. Although we were there on a rainy afternoon, its location along Kvarner Bay is superb with great views towards the sea. It has...a large outdoor terrace. We plan to return in better weather for a pleasant evening and excellent meal.More

We had a fish soup consisting of a meat bouillon (!) with cold fish cube on the side (which had to be dipped in?) while the salad was as basic as it gets. To follow, the fish was most likely deep frozen as this sea...bass was really tasteless. The lamb was good albeit my portion was "minimalistic". So we cut our loss and skipped dessert. The biggest surprise came from all the extras charged which are reminiscent of nearby Italy...We would avoid this eatery and take a 15min stroll instead to find something better downtown.More

The chefs choices had out-stand our evening! Dining in a beautiful and elegant villa on the waterfront (above lungomare) that serves fabulous fish plates and has good selection of local vines and prosecco’s is a must when you visit Kvarner bay and Opatija. We ate...raw scampi (entree), first: pjukanci (local pasta) with scampi and zucchini with a bit of cherry tomato and capesante. For seconds we had fresh file of white grilled fish with organic veggies cooked just right. It was all served with cream of cauliflower and carrots, the other dish had a cream of green pies. Dessert was Fruit Sonata! Highly recommended! We are definitely coming back!More

We felt royal and privileged eating this excellent food in an idyllic location with sea view. For the starters we tried fresh prawns and incredibly soft octopus which almost melt in our mouth. Then followed the perfectly prepared risotto with asparagus and shrimps, and for...the main dish a delicious wild sea fish. It was also a welcome the chef's greeting with a sweet surprise! All praise to the staff for the excellent work they do!More
