Grilled Fish and Famous Gelato: A Perfect Foodie Afternoon on Zadar’s Seaside Promenade

#seafoodlover #zadar isn’t just about stunning sunsets—it’s also a paradise for food lovers. I spent an unforgettable afternoon enjoying freshly grilled fish right by the Adriatic and finishing with what might be the best ice cream in town. Here’s why this foodie experience is a must. #croatia 🐟 Grilled fish with a view Sitting at a small seaside restaurant along the Riva Promenade, I ordered a plate of freshly caught fish, lightly seasoned and perfectly grilled. The sound of the waves and the salty breeze made every bite taste even better. 💸 Price: Expect to pay around €15–20 for a generous portion of grilled fish with a side of vegetables or salad. Pair it with a glass of white wine for an extra €3–5. 📍 Where to go: You’ll find several small konobas and restaurants lining the promenade. My pick was Restaurant Bruschetta (Address: Mihovila Pavlinovića 12, Zadar), known for its seafood and cozy atmosphere. 🍦 Lucca Ice Cream: Zadar’s Sweet Secret After the meal, I strolled to Lucca Ice Cream, a gelateria famous among locals and visitors for its creamy texture and creative flavors like fig & walnut or Dalmatian lemon. 💸 Price: A scoop costs around €2–2.50, and two scoops are perfect for a summer afternoon. 📍 Location: Lucca Ice Cream, Široka ulica 1, Zadar (right in the Old Town, just a short walk from the promenade). 🌅 The perfect ending With gelato in hand, I walked back to the promenade to watch the sunset by the Sea Organ. The combination of delicious food, sweet gelato, and stunning views made it one of my favorite afternoons in Croatia. 📌 Tip: Go to Lucca Ice Cream after 5 PM to avoid queues and enjoy your gelato with fewer crowds.
