"One of the most picturesque and popular parts of the town is Foša harbour, where the restaurant of the same name – one of the best in the region – specialises in fish and seafood. The menu focuses on Dalmatian cuisine with a Mediterranean influence which can be enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the sea or in the dining room with its stone walls and wooden floor. In addition to the à la carte, there is also a tasting menu and daily specials which include many Adriatic fish such as red scorpion fish, tuna (for which the town of Zadar is renowned), fresh shellfish and white fish. Make sure you try the scampi (also available in a risotto), sea bass carpaccio, fish soup and Adriatic squid." - Sarah Scaparone
"Close to Zadar’s 16th‑century walls and overlooking Foša port, this sea‑facing terrace sets the stage for contemporary Dalmatian‑ and Mediterranean‑inspired cooking. Under chef Saša Began, plates range from sea trout gravlax with beetroot, yoghurt and citrus to gnudi made with Pag island ricotta, crab and artichokes." - Sarah Scaparone
"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." - Michelin Inspector
"For a seafood experience featuring fresh-caught Adriatic fish, book a table at this lovely restaurant in the small harbor of Foša Zadar, right by Zadar’s ancient city walls. The interior incorporates original details, like exposed bits of stone walls, in an overall contemporary design, but the real standout is the terrace that extends into the port. It’s the perfect setting if you want to pair your meal with stellar vistas. Though the meat dishes here are great, seafood is the highlight. The menu changes according to the morning's catch, but often features shrimp gazpacho, gnocchi with black cuttlefish ragout, and grilled Adriatic Sea bream with fresh herbs."
"I found Foša in Zadar to be a reliably good option for elevated central Dalmatian fare at reasonable prices." - Matthew Kepnes
