Bura Brew is a craft brewery that is independently owned and operated. In April 2016, the brewery began its work and realised its long-awaited dream. The three founders worked meticulously on the further development of various recipes and currently have seven types of beer in their range. The beer is neither filtered nor pasteurised without any processing. Instead, it is fermented further in the bottle to create a natural carbonation with carbonic acid.

No problem! In this article, we show you our three best tips for a quick bite. From grilled fish to Ćevapčići to burgers and pizza – there’s something here for everyone!

Quite inconspicuous from the outside, the small fish shop “Ribarnica Ancora Poreč” is located just a few metres from the sea in Poreč and offers a great selection of seafood and fish, grilled or fried – just as you like it. Ideally, you should order by phone, in English or German (depending on which staff member you get on the phone), at least 30 minutes before the desired pick-up time. Unfortunately, the menu is not available online and varies depending on the catch, but the staff will be happy to assist you by phone. Otherwise, of course, just drop by and come back half an hour later. Our recommendation: Fried shrimps with potato & chard vegetables

If you prefer something heartier, you’re sure to find something suitable at the fast food Papador. From classic cheeseburgers or hamburgers to traditional Ćevapčići in bread with ajvar and onions or deep-fried seafood – the selection is large. The owner speaks English and a little German, so ordering is easy even without any knowledge of Croatian. You can usually pick up your order after about 15-20 minutes, or order on the spot and wait with a drink. It is also possible to eat on site, but seats are very limited. Our recommendation: Ćevapčići in bread with ajvar and onions.
