"Everything is homemade and made with an innovative twist, so you might order crab salad, followed by brudet (fish stew served with polenta), and each dish will be unique in its own way."

"Excellent white bream carpaccio."

Dario Naletilić

"The thick, dark brudet goes well with the triangles of polenta, and the buckwheat goes well with this sea urchin."

Barbara Zaminato

"And these are the fish to make the famous Brodet, i.e. a poor fish soup, served with polenta. Of course I tried it: at Batelina restaurant. The photo does not do justice to the dish, but the lights were very low to create a romantic atmosphere!"

Marianne Kavanagh

"Don’t leave this part of Istria without going to a restaurant called Batelina in the village of Banjole, south of Pula. The thick Istrian fish soup, called brudet, is served with polenta in the shape of a scallop shell."
