Vidilica-means the view for the scenery oasis: Vidilica at the Marjan hill

We did not have any food; just a liquid drink. Many people come up here for the view and hang out for a while to enjoy the scenery. Prices are a bit more than you would expect; like a beer was $4-5 and coffee $3.

Comparison: about average

Directions: On Marjan Hill-climb the 300 stairs form the Trumbeciva Obala

Price: US$11-20

Zlatna Ribica: Local Restaurant Flavor of Gold(Zlatna)

Get fresh seafood right next door at this restaurant. They have a limited menu and only carry seafood items to eat because it is supported by the market right there.

Favorite Dish: The fried squid was good, and at $8 was reasonable price. Octopus salad was $12 and was okay, but now the tentacles can be chewy regardless of how they are cooked. Large draft pivo/beer was $3; good value for that. French fries-pomme frites were $3, another okay value.

Balck CAt Restaurant: Black CAt-Hopefully not on the Menu

It was okay-but not great. The Mexican mix was strange for this country, I thought. The salmon rosti was $11, and chicken ceasaer salad $9.

Favorite Dish: Mushroom soup was good, and the salmon rosti was tasty.

Fife Restaurant: Fife for the Locals Hang Out

The food is of good quality in that the local people come here to eat, and return a lot. The business is good and the turnover of tables shows that people come, eat and go home.

Favorite Dish: The lamb was pretty good, and unexpected was all the peas in the dish. Stew was $9 and the sardine/calamarie $10. Sardines were done to perfection. The Beer/pivo price was the item you need to watch, at $5 a beer, and wine $6 a glass. They get you there

Lulac: Lulac- Great Local Flavor of Food

It was very good food, and of course the bread is always to fill up on. I had a Pork leg and it was roasted nicely, with a Kraut, sausage, Potatoes and Creamed spinach. Price was $8. Micky had Shrimp risotto, and it was $10. We both liked the food a lot; tasty and plentiful. A beer was on $2.50 besides. Leftovers were good for another night meal.

Favorite Dish: I loved the pork hock/leg. It was well done and roasted to perfection
