About

Restaurant Niko, located in the picturesque Puntamika district of Zadar, offers a truly authentic Croatian dining experience beside the Adriatic Sea. Founded in 1963 by the Pavin family, the restaurant prides itself on a family‑run tradition of preparing freshly caught fish and local specialties such as scampi, lobster, and grilled fish chosen by guests from the kitchen’s assortment. The ambience is warm and inviting, accentuated by a resident Klapa Niko choir that serenades diners with traditional Croatian melodies. Whether you’re craving a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a spirited gathering, Restaurant Niko delivers a memorable culinary journey surrounded by panoramic sea views. With a seating capacity of 150, the restaurant blends elegant design with relaxed hospitality.
