An inspiring stroll

A STROLL THROUGH THE HISTORY

Zadar is like an open-air museum, where every alley and square reveals a part of its rich history. Its city walls, protected by UNESCO, have defended the city from conquerors for centuries and are now a favorite promenade.

At every step, you’ll encounter charming churches, and each square has its own story. People’s Square has been the center of public life for 500 years, while Petar Zoranić Square, dedicated to the famous Renaissance writer from Zadar, is the contemporary hub of all entertainment in Zadar. Nearby is the Five Wells Square with the Captain’s Tower, built in the 16th century. T

he oldest gathering place of the people of Zadar was the Roman Forum, where you can soak in the morning and daytime sensations, the summer warmth, or the sun-drenched ambiance of ancient Zadar.

Culinary haven: Foša

“MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View:

The sea takes pride of place at this restaurant, where fish in its various guises (raw and cooked) is to the fore on the menu. In summer, guests can make the most of the attractive outdoor area, while at other times of year meals are served in the more formal dining rooms. Good wine list, including some excellent Dalmatian options.”

Located within the historic walls of the XVI-century-old harbour Foša in Zadar, Restaurant Foša stands as a culinary gem, celebrated with 15 Gault Millau points. With the sea as its muse, the menu showcases an array of fish, both raw and cooked, alongside a curated selection of Dalmatian wines.

Whether dining al fresco in the charming outdoor area during summer or within the elegant dining rooms during other seasons, guests are treated to a delightful gastronomic journey. Blending age-old Dalmatian traditions with modern influences, both in its architecture and cuisine, Foša maintains a perfect equilibrium.

Traditional elements harmonize seamlessly with contemporary touches, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to staying relevant while honoring its heritage. The menu epitomizes this fusion, offering dishes crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients emblematic of the Zadar climate.

Foša has been honored with the JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs award, a testament to its dedication to culinary excellence and innovation.
