Gault&Millau's review 2026

Located at the entrance to Mošćenička Draga, a fishing village connecting the forested slopes of Mount Učka with a beautiful pebble beach promenade, Al Ponte tavern focuses on homemade cuisine and local ingredients. Unlike most restaurants in the area that mainly offer fish specialties, this kitchen is filled with the aroma of meat dishes. Traditional meals such as beef goulash are prepared here, served with excellent homemade gnocchi. All pasta is handmade, including egg-free pljukanci, which, when combined with vegetables or truffles, become an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Pork is highly valued, ranging from juicy roasts to modern variations like pulled pork, and they also prepare an excellent steak tagliata. Aromatic herbs from their own garden at the foot of Mount Učka add a special note to the dishes. In addition to the regular menu, they offer seasonal specials. In spring, asparagus is featured in many variations: in fritaja with pancetta and spring onions, in soup with toasted homemade focaccia, nettle gnocchi with asparagus and shrimp, steak with asparagus, and more. The wine list includes carefully selected Croatian wines, along with a good selection of homemade brandies and liqueurs. Al Ponte is a popular spot for family gatherings, with a fair price-quality ratio.
