PET BUNARA Dine & Wine

Nice restaurant at the entrance of the old town. Very busy, definitely reserve ahead of time. While we were dining, we realized they were not letting people walk in because they were fully booked. We liked that they were not rushing people. You can enjoy you dinner start to end with a nice bottle of wine. They will never ask you to leave or order more. We loved the lamb dish. Deifnitely get the lamb shank. Dalmatian pesticada was great as well. We thought the sea food platter was not so impressive considering the price. Was a special dinner, leas touisty compared to the other restaurants in old Zadar.

The atmosphere is very nice and location is perfect. Waiter is very professional and kind. Food came quickly and was tasty and with high quality. Mojitos were also super tasty! The price is not the cheapest, but was definitely value for the money.

Amazing place to eat in. The atmosphere is great, food is tasty, service is on point and the view is charming. I went there for a lunch and it was a great decision. I ordered an anchovy salad and a glass of wine. The salad was tasty, wine recommender by waiter was good as well. I was enjoying my lunch, for sure. A salad, a glass of wine and one cup of coffee was ~25€. This restaurant is worth your attention.

Great restaurant.Excellent and tasty food. Great service. Polite waiter. We will back again.

The lamb leg steak was delicious but the Tuna steak could not make us happy. The steak quantity was very less compared to price of 39.70 euro. We got little bit different experience rather than other Zadar’s restaurants. The restaurant is in situated in a nice place and has nice atmosphere with good decorations. Employees are very friendly and communicative.

Recently dined at Pet Bunara after reading countless reviews & recommendations, but unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype & left a lot to be desired. Starter was the best meal out of the lot. Chickpea puree (aka hummus) was lovely. We were pretty disappointed with the main meals. The ‘Pasta Nostre’ was the better of the two, holding more flavour but just lacked that star quality. ‘Red Risotto’ wasn’t great at all; had no body to it, and was more like a seafood fried rice than risotto. We finished up the pasta and added the rest of the sauce from that dish into the risotto to give it some more flavour (and it was dramatically improved, but still nowhere near what a risotto should be). Decided not to get a dessert and to go elsewhere instead. Price-wise, it wasn’t too bad I guess but you can get significantly better food elsewhere (as we did on other occasions). Antiquus (can’t recommend this place enough), and 4Kantuna spring to mind. Staff were lovely and attentive, whilst the ambience of the restaurant was also amazing. Just a shame the food didn’t match. Maybe we came on the wrong night, or even ordered the wrong meals to really get the wow factor, but hey ho! Still might be worth a go for others thinking about it.

The fish was the best I ve ever eat! Pasticara and nero barley risotto as well! Top class! Highly recommended!
