Gault&Millau's review 2026

With a history spanning more than 140 years, Restaurant Conca d’Oro remains a symbol of gastronomic continuity in the center of Rijeka. In recent years, under the leadership of chef Filip Hudoletnjak, the restaurant has developed a fresh and creative menu. The cuisine is firmly Mediterranean, blending seafood, meat dishes, pasta, pizza, and seasonal platters made from local ingredients. The historic setting attracts both tourists and locals, who frequently host private events and business gatherings here. Classic dishes such as hake with potatoes or beer goulash with pasta and black trumpet mushrooms remain on the menu, alongside more modern creations like beef skewers with chimichurri and salted fish sauce, served with house-made focaccia. Their black risotto with grilled Adriatic cuttlefish, marinated simply in lemon juice, is excellent. A standout favorite is the fresh tuna tartare with orange emulsion, chive oil, and black olive powder. Guests can also choose a five-course tasting menu showcasing the best seasonal flavors. The wine list follows the restaurant’s philosophy, offering a curated selection of Croatian and Italian wines.
