Selected entries from the current guide for Porec.
Porec, Croatia
Spinnaker brings Mediterranean cuisine to Porec's dining scene at a mid-to-upper price point, earning consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025. The wine program runs 115 selections across 1,560 bottles, with a range of pricing that rewards exploration. For a town where the Adriatic sets the culinary tempo, this is a measured, credentialed option worth the reservation.
Porec, Croatia
Artha sits on Ul. Jože Šuran in Poreč's dining corridor, where Istrian ingredient culture — truffles, olive oil, wild herbs, and Adriatic catch — sets the terms of what lands on the plate. The restaurant positions itself within a local scene that takes provenance seriously, placing it alongside a broader conversation about how Istrian kitchens use the land and sea around them.
Porec, Croatia
Divino sits on Poreč's waterfront promenade at Obala Maršala Tita 20, placing it squarely in the Adriatic dining corridor where the town's older konoba tradition meets a more contemporary restaurant format. The address alone signals intent: this is a venue that positions itself within Poreč's established dining scene rather than away from it. Visitors planning an evening on the Istrian coast should place it alongside the town's broader table of options.
Porec, Croatia
On Poreč's central square, Fora Le Porte occupies a position that places it squarely within the Istrian coastal dining tradition — where local seafood, stone-town atmosphere, and a measured pace of eating define the experience. The address at Trg Slobode 2 puts it steps from the Euphrasian Basilica, making it a natural reference point in the town's dining circuit alongside neighbours like Artha and Divino.
Porec, Croatia
A konoba-style dining address on Ul. Nikole Tesle in the heart of Porec, Hrast sits within a local dining tradition that prizes slow meals, regional produce, and Istrian wine over spectacle. The format here follows the rhythm of the Adriatic coast: unhurried, produce-led, and shaped by the conventions of Croatian table culture rather than the pressures of tourist-season turnover.
Porec, Croatia
Konoba aba occupies a modest address on Ul. Matka Vlačića in the old town of Poreč, operating within the konoba tradition that defines informal, ingredient-led dining across Istria. The format sits closer to a neighbourhood tavern than a resort restaurant, with a focus on local produce and the kind of cooking that reflects the peninsula's position between the Adriatic and the interior. For visitors working through Poreč's dining scene, it represents the everyday end of that spectrum.
Porec, Croatia
Konoba Ćakula serves Istrian Seafood & Mediterranean dishes on a terrace, with fried squid, grilled squid, risotto, and truffle dishes supported by an extensive wine list.
Porec, Croatia
Miramare sits on Isabella Island off the Poreč coast, placing it among a small set of Croatian dining destinations where the approach by water is as considered as the meal itself. The island setting shapes everything from the rhythm of service to the way the kitchen engages with local Adriatic produce. For visitors to Istria's busiest resort town, it represents a distinct register from the mainland dining scene.
Porec, Croatia
Set on the ancient Roman Decumanus in Poreč's walled old town, Peterokutna Kula occupies among the more historically loaded addresses in Istria. The restaurant draws on the Adriatic's coastal larder within a setting shaped by centuries of Venetian and Roman overlay, placing it among the more atmospheric dining options in a town better known for its basilica than its table.
Porec, Croatia
Špadiči sits outside Poreč's old town in the quieter agricultural fringe of Istria, where the cooking draws on the peninsula's deep larder of truffles, olive oil, and locally reared meat. The address alone signals a different register from the harbour-facing trattorias: this is a destination table reached by intent, not by accident, and that self-selection shapes the room's character from the moment you arrive.

Porec, Croatia
Marea Suites sits on Poreč's seafront promenade within the Valamar Collection portfolio, holding a Country Winner award for Luxury Family Hotel. The property addresses a specific gap in Istria's premium accommodation tier: full-suite formats designed around multi-generational travel rather than couples-only retreats. For families requiring space, coastal access, and a credentialed operation, it occupies a distinct position in the north Istrian market.
Porec, Croatia
The 2025 World Travel Awards winner for Croatia's Leading Boutique Hotel, Valamar Riviera Hotel & Residence occupies a prime address on Poreč's waterfront promenade, Obala Maršala Tita. The property sits at the crossroads of Istrian coastal character and considered hotel design, making it one of the Adriatic's more carefully positioned boutique options for travellers who want proximity to the old town without sacrificing comfort.

Porec, Croatia
Damjanić Vina sits in Porec’s Istrian wine orbit with a modern cellar, estate-grown fruit and a clear emphasis on Malvazija Istarska, Borgonja and Teran. The interest here is terroir rather than spectacle: sea-influenced vineyards, terra rossa and limestone, a 1928 Paris medal in the family history, and a compact tasting format built around native grapes.
Porec, Croatia
Kadum Winery suits travelers who want Istria through land rather than spectacle: Malvasia Istriana, red soil, olive groves, and a small family-run tasting setting near Porec. Its credibility rests on a compact estate scale, Vinistra membership, and awards for Malvasia, including recognition at The World of Malvasia 2024 and Vinistra 2023.
Porec, Croatia
Vina Laguna reads as Istria at scale: a Poreč winery tied to Agrolaguna’s wider food production, with vineyards spread across red, white, and gray soils. The emphasis is not boutique scarcity but regional breadth, guided tastings, food pairings, and a portfolio built around Istarska malvazija, Teran, Chardonnay, Pinot sivi, and Muškat žuti.
