    When you arrive, the Restaurant Vallis menu is on the table with clear instructions for ordering.

    Free delivery

    We bring breakfast, lunch or dinner to your door – with no delivery charge.

    Or a table by the sea

    The restaurant is just a few steps from the apartments. Dinner on the terrace at sunset is always a good idea.

Chapter III · The restaurant

The heart of Vallis beats on the waterfront

Restaurant Vallis – formerly Hajduk – has stood on Bakar's main promenade, right by the sea, since 1982. Our whole story started in its kitchen: first a table by the sea, then guests who wanted to come back, and then apartments where they could stay.

  • Fresh fish and seafood, grilled meat and homemade pizza
  • Peka, lamb and suckling pig on the spit on request
  • Ingredients from local producers, selected wines and homemade desserts
  • Seaside terrace for 50–60 guests

Chapter V · Bakar

A small town in a bay, a big holiday

Bakar is one of the oldest towns in Kvarner: stone lanes, a castle above the bay and a waterfront full of boats. The calm of a small place – with Rijeka, Opatija and Krk half an hour's drive away.

  • An old town on the hill

    Stone houses, narrow stairways and the Frankopan castle above the bay – Bakar is one of the oldest towns in Kvarner.

  • A seafaring tradition

    A town of seafarers and captains, home to one of the oldest maritime schools on the Adriatic. The waterfront is still full of boats.

  • Bakarska vodica

    For centuries vines have grown on the terraced vineyards above the bay, giving the famous sparkling wine Bakarska vodica.

  • A perfect base for trips

    Rijeka, Opatija, Crikvenica and the island of Krk are 15 to 30 minutes' drive away – and in the evening you return to the calm of a small town.
