Dog-Friendly Restaurants in Rovinj

A long-established Istrian konoba just off the harbour, named after a giant of Croatian folklore, with a cluttered interior of fishing nets and old farming tools and a row of outdoor tables on the cobbled lane right at the water`s edge. Traditional brodet, bakalar, fuži with truffle and house-made gnocchi. Leashed dogs are welcome on the outdoor tables; a water bowl appears within minutes.

A bistro-pizzeria on the harbour promenade with a wide stone terrace facing the moored fishing boats and the silhouette of sv. Eufemije rising behind. Wood-fired pizza, grilled Adriatic fish, pasta, salads and a long aperitivo list - one of the most reliably dog-friendly all-day terraces in the Stari Grad, with shade from large parasols all afternoon.

A family-run pizzeria on the steeply climbing Grisia Street, the artist-colony lane that leads up to the church of sv. Eufemije. Wood-fired thin-crust pizza with Istrian toppings (truffle, pršut, malvazija-marinated anchovy), pasta and Adriatic grilled fish at the most accessible prices in the Stari Grad. A handful of outdoor tables on the cobblestones welcome leashed dogs.
