Overview Sometimes, the most delightful surprises are those you least expect! Tucked away in the quiet town of Sukošan, just a short drive from Zadar, is a hidden culinary gem: Cuisine & Lounge Barbir. Opting for their 7-course dinner was an unforgettable culinary experience for my entire family (my wife and two teenage kids went, and we all LOVED it!). The locale is a beautiful beachside setting, and although it may not be a Michelin-starred establishment, the level of culinary prowess would give some of the Michelin-starred restaurants that I've visited a run for their money!
Ambiance The restaurant is blessed with a prime location by the beach, offering an intimate yet unpretentious atmosphere. As the sun sets, casting its golden glow over your table, you're serenaded by the gentle ebb and flow of the Adriatic Sea. The venue is perfect for a variety of occasions—be it a romantic dinner, a special celebration, or a particularly indulgent outing with friends.
Cuisine Cuisine & Lounge Barbir offered 3, 5, and 7-course dinners that are each a feast for the senses. Every one of Chef Davor’s dishes, from start to finish, is a masterful blend of flavors and textures, presented in a manner that pleases the eye as much as the palate. I found out that his wife is the pastry chef, and I was equally impressed by her culinary skills!
Highlights Each course serves as a stepping stone, building anticipation for what's to come. Just when you think they've reached the pinnacle of culinary achievement, the next course arrives, managing to elevate the entire experience even further.
Service The staff at Cuisine & Lounge Barbir are well-versed in the fine art of hospitality. Luka and his staff are very knowledgeable and attentive, yet they allow you the space to savor your meal and the accompanying scenery without intrusion. Their service complements the extraordinary culinary offerings, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless from start to finish.

They told us the kitchen would only open at 8 which was a little late but we were ok as the location is nice. We checked if we could have some drinks first then and that was ok. We ordered some more drinks but every time we got served with a uninterested unmotivated person. I had not seen that yet in Croatia as most people are friendly and service oriented but not at this place. When it was close to 8 they told us to leave as the restaurant apparently was fully booked even though all tables were empty at that moment. When talking to the owner he just said that I should make a reservation even though we were told earlier we could order food once the kitchen opens. He was just blaming his own personnel but did not take ownership or showed customer awareness and send us away. One angry and dissatisfied family and one unhappy review. Place...
