☰Bevanda

One of the smartest restaurants in Opatija, Bevanda sits right on the water at the southern end of town with a terrace that juts out over the sea. The cooking is refined without being fussy — Adriatic lobster, sea bass with capers and olives, tuna tartare — and the presentation is polished. It caters to a well-heeled clientele and prices reflect that, but the setting alone justifies a meal here. The wine cellar is one of the most extensive in the region.
