Farabuto

Pula


It's worth a trek to this nondescript residential area, about 1.5km southwest of the centre, for stylish decor, but more importantly, finely executed Mediterranean fare with a creative touch. There are daily specials and a well-curated wine list; save room for the chocolate mousse with truffle ice cream.
