Restoran Foša

Foša takes its name from the small harbour below Zadar’s walls, beside the Land Gate, one of the monumental entrances to the historic peninsula. From the Roman Forum and St Donatus, walk towards the southern end of the Old Town: the change in scale is clear, from the archaeological square to the quay and its boats. The restaurant occupies part of the 16th-century bastion that protects the harbour and makes this location a defining feature; its website describes a seafood restaurant combining Dalmatian tradition with contemporary presentation.

The offer centres on seafood, with classic recipes reworked, fish and shellfish, plus a Croatian wine list that the official website says includes more than 120 labels. The Michelin Guide highlights its position beside the small harbour and its modern take on seafood; visitors often praise the terrace, presentation and service for special occasions. The picture is not unanimous: some diners describe an uneven experience or feel the bill is high for what they received. Check the current menu, ask what fish is available and choose Foša if the setting and table service matter as much as speed or price.

The official address is Kralja Dmitra Zvonimira 2, and its website lists +385 99 302 0200, a menu and a booking option. The review listing checked identifies that exact location and shows a 4.1/5 Google rating from 1,574 reviews; it reflects both praise and criticism and should not be confused with Michelin Guide recognition. Foša is better suited to a leisurely meal by the harbour than a quick stop after the Forum. Visitors who prefer more informal local cooking centred on seasonal ingredients can head to PET BUNARA beside Five Wells Square.
