Taj Tavern — Restaurant in Grad Pula

What an extraordinary dining experience! This family-run restaurant, led by a wonderful father, mother, grandmother, and their two talented sons, is the very definition of authentic hospitality. From the moment you step inside, you are embraced with warmth, kindness, and genuine care that is simply unmatched.

The food? Absolutely sensational! Every dish bursts with the freshest local ingredients, cooked with love and presented with pride. You can truly taste the tradition, the passion, and the soul of the region in every bite. It’s not just a meal – it’s a celebration of heritage and family.

The atmosphere is as heartwarming as the cuisine: cozy, inviting, and full of joy. You don’t feel like a customer here; you feel like an honored guest at a family table.

This restaurant is a shining gem – a place where extraordinary flavors, impeccable service, and unforgettable hospitality come together in perfect harmony. Without doubt, one of the most remarkable dining experiences I have ever had. A must-visit,...

From our calculation, one of the dishes was 40€ to reach the amout we paid, that is a little bizarre for a small restaurant in Istria. Pity, the food was good, but we won't set foot in again...
