The ambiance at Stars whispers of understated elegance, where soft lighting and nautical accents create an inviting yet unpretentious setting. The interplay between modern touches and subtle rustic elements crafts an atmosphere that feels both fresh and familiar. While browsing Stars + photos online evokes visions of artfully plated dishes, experiencing the culinary presentation firsthand reveals layers of meticulous care. Patrons often remark on the harmonious blend of local ingredients with contemporary techniques, reflecting the coastal essence without overreaching into complexity for complexity’s sake.
There’s a thoughtful balance to the Stars + menu, where standout dishes such as seafood risotto coexist alongside simpler, well-executed plates that highlight seasonal freshness. The tasting experience is marked by precise seasoning and textures that invite contemplation but never demand it. Attention to detail manifests in the service as well—attentive without hovering, knowledgeable yet unpretentious—contributing to a dining outcome that feels polished but not overly formal. Occasional moments hint at room for consistency, especially during busier times, yet these instances do little to overshadow the overall culinary intent.
Many Stars + reviews touch on the value proposition, and while prices align with the quality and location, diners may find the experience leans toward a special occasion. The restrained wine selection complements rather than overpowers the menu choices, encouraging exploration of Croatian varietals and refreshing whites. Conversations at nearby tables suggest that for those seeking an authentic taste of the Istrian coast with a contemporary flair, Stars restaurant remains a notable option, particularly for visitors who appreciate nuanced flavors paired with a thoughtfully curated setting.

We’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years now – and it’s truly one of our all-time favorites! The food is consistently delicious, and we’ve probably tried almost everything on the menu by now. Every single dish is a hit – full of flavor and made with care. Toni and the entire team are just fantastic – always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The service is top-notch: fast, professional, and personal. The value for money is excellent, too – you get amazing quality at very fair prices. A place we’ll continue to return to again and again. Highly recommended!
This restaurant is one of the reasons why we fell in love with Novigrad 9 years ago. Everything is perfect: the location, the service, the food and the background music as well. One of the highlights of the year for us is when we finally make our holiday, arrive to this sweet seaside town and sit in the Stars restaurant. Keep up the good work, guys!
Slightly more than some restaurants not by the water, but the food was very good. the ambiance with the ocean sounds was great! We spent 20€ pp for a dish and drink, it can easily get more expensive as they have many dishes that are 23+, however a lot of nice affordable options too
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
