The variety of Pula's cafés and restaurants is astonishing: they serve flavorful Croatian and Italian cuisine, scalding coffee, and foamy beer, and are the place where soccer battles and major political events are hotly debated during siesta.
Pula's restaurants are a must-try for Istrian pršut, a special Croatian appetizer made from raw, cured ham. Pršut is especially good with wine or beer. Other traditional dishes are pašticada (stew) and chobanac (shepherd's stew of various meats, generously seasoned with paprika).
Truly Istrian dishes in Pula are manestra soup, strukli (milk macaroni and cheese), and police (baked potatoes with bacon).
For sweets, gourmets are offered chocolate delicacies bayadera and griot, various doughnuts and strudels, low-calorie cakes, and puddings.
The city is also famous for its coffee list, where there is always room not only for traditional espresso and cappuccino but also magical white coffee.
Almost every street stall in Pula sells delicious Ledo ice cream in a classic creamy flavor from 5 NRK per scoop.
Pula offers delicious seafood and truffle dishes. And savor local wines and liqueurs: plumovica, cherryovica, pearovica, travarica, orahovica, lozovac, and others.
