A magnificent location with a stunning view to the ocean is the absolute recent to visit this restaurant. We both had the tasting menu, which was good (not outstanding) and they were out of oyster with some excuse that it was Sunday (then tell us upfront or take it off the menu. The with pairing was very interesting and good with Croatian wine. However on the chilling evening, you would expect blankets or some level of heating and the service was more directed to tables ordering a la carte serving and getting the waiters attention was almost impossible.

Very disappointing experience at Fosa considering the hype and great reviews. We made a reservation via the website a month before our visit and it was confirmed with Martina Furcic but the reservation was not registered. There was no apology for their mistake but they reluctantly found us a table. We had to ask for menus. We had to wait for long periods of time before being asked if we’d like a drink and to order food.

It felt like we were an inconvenience.

The food was good but nothing exceptional.

It’s Michelin star for a reason.
Every dish was wonderful, the staff were excellent. Fabulous views of the sea. I would recommend the fish soup, the best I have had in Croatia. As my partner said ‘the whole shibang was fantastic.’

We waited for our order for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The food was below average, did not meet our expectations. The oysters were good. Overall, not worth a visit.
