Hidden Gem in Pula's Neighborhood — Bistro Galeb!

If you're traveling to Pula, don't miss this fantastic local bistro—Bistro Galeb! 🌊 Tucked away on a quiet street surrounded by residential buildings, it offers an authentic taste of Croatian-Balkan seafood in a down-to-earth setting. 💡 Must-Try Dishes: Fried Squid: Crispy outside, tender inside—everyone loves it, and the squid is super fresh! Mixed Meat Platter: A carnivore’s dream, loaded with grilled meats and perfect for sharing. Grilled Squid: A showcase of traditional local flavors. Served with chard (similar to spinach) and potatoes—totally hits the spot for Chinese palates! 🍽️ Why You’ll Love It: Homestyle cooking with fresh, locally sourced Istrian ingredients. Friendly service—the owner speaks Croatian, English, German, Italian, and Spanish, so no language barriers! Spacious terrace with large tables, great for groups or relaxing meals. 💰 Price & Value: Generous portions, high quality, and wallet-friendly—way better than touristy spots! 📍 Location Tips: Osječka ul. 37, 52100, Pula | Open until 8 PM. A bit hidden—about a 30-minute walk from Valkane Beach, but 100% worth the trip (and you’ll work up an appetite!). If you love no-frills, authentic local food, Bistro Galeb won’t disappoint.
