The best restaurant I've ever been to! Everything was perfect - incredibly delicious food, friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. Each dish is a real work of art. An unforgettable experience, I will definitely come back again!
Food was excellent, service was a little slow but couldn't fault the food. A little pricey, but you pay for quality and that's exactly what you get
I got dinner here, fish with olive oil cream and a glass of red wine. It was delicious!!!!! (No bones in the fish!). Everyone was very kind, the restaurant has a relaxing and cozy atmosphere. 100% reccomend it!!
The atmosphere of the restaurant added to the experience—warm, inviting, and full of life. The service was equally excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The fresh seafood platter was beautifully presented and included a variety of grilled fish, shrimp, calamari. If you’re in Rijeka and looking for top-quality seafood, Na Kantunu is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!
Everything was perfect. Restaurant from the outside can be a little deceiving but a very cozy atmosphere inside. Service staff is also very nice. We ordered a Fish platter for two people and we were very satisfied. Delicious Mangoldpotatoes and Fried Polenta were just perfect.
We went for the dinner here. This place is around the port, which smells not so good outside, but the restaurant is inside the building in a quiet place of Rijeka. The interior is nice. The staff was a bit nervous or it maybe looked for us, maybe they had been hired just recently. But sometimes there were useless plates delivered which they took back lately. And it felt like the boss or shift manager were observing them and counting their mistakes :) We had ordered the sea bass baked in the oven, black risotto, fish soup and the lemon cake. The prices here are quite high and it's justifiable for the quality of the food. Also, we waited quite long for it. This was a superb food experience here in Rijeka. The soup, the risotto (which, I think, is too pricey) and the fish was so balanced in taste and in view too. It's just amazing with all of the flavours of lemon, tomatoes, potatoes, olives and artichokes. And, of course, pleasantly sour cake with lemon, which almost was given to our table neigbours by mistake. Despite some staff mistakes, the food here is incredible so the kitchen staff directly heard the best words from us. The highest class of food here and we were happy with that. All in all, a strong 4 out of 5 due to lack of staff experience, slow delivery of the food and high prices. But overall, a great time spent here which left us happy.
