Restoran Pirun ex Walter
About This Spot
Stepping into Restoran Pirun ex Walter feels like entering a warmly familiar corner of Croatian hospitality, where the pace slows just enough to savor good company and thoughtfully prepared food. Nestled along Dolnja cesta in Čavle, this casual local eatery balances the unpretentious charm of a neighborhood gathering spot with the quiet excitement of discovering something genuinely satisfying beyond the usual city stops.
The atmosphere here embraces a gentle buzz, familiar yet calm, inviting visitors to settle in and lose track of time over a meal fired on a traditional wood grill. The space has a welcoming rhythm — neither hurried nor stagnant — where the friendly team moves with attentive ease, making you feel more like a guest welcomed at a friend’s table than just a diner.
The menu feels much like the place itself: hearty and uncomplicated, with dishes crafted to share and enjoy slowly. Whether it’s something generously portioned like a Balkan-inspired burger or a mixed meat platter, each offering carries a wood-smoked depth, elevated by fresh breads and sides that draw you into the region’s culinary stories rather than rush past them. Those who come with little ones appreciate the nearby playground, a gentle reminder that this is a space where life’s simple pleasures come first.
Restoran Pirun ex Walter invites you to experience the kind of meal that lingers — not just through taste but in the memory of good food graciously served amidst friendly smiles and a setting that feels rooted in its place. It’s a spot worth the detour, where the balance of flavor, warmth, and a touch of the local pulse adds up to something quietly fulfilling.

Great place to eat and drink beer. The dish was super delicious and generous in portion, prices are still affordable but a bit more expensive than couple a months ago. Atmosphere is very good here and the stuff is super friendly and helpful.

The food was fine, nothing special. However, being the only guest in the middle of a weekday evening felt awkward and a bit uncomfortable. The restaurant’s big plus is its location right next to a playground — great for parents.

The place is nice, the food is excellently, the photo says more than hundred words. We like to return and try the Florentina. Thank you and continue like this.

I came here for lunch as a detour travelling out of Rijeka. This place was a great find. Their food was cooked on a woodfire grill and it was excellent. The meat platter for 2 was as good as any I've had in Croatia and better than most. Their bread was amazing as well. Very fairly priced. Absolutely worth making a short trip out of Rijeka, or detour, to grab a meal here.

Amazing BBQ food, Juicy and delicious with a great chargrilled flavour . We got the platter for 1 to share and it was easily enough for 2 this lunchtime. The potatoes, the bread, all the meat, the ajvar were all fantastic, but the steak was the star - so tender and awesome flavour of charcoal cooking and top beef. If you're a meat lover passing by, stop here. You will not beat it for less than triple the price

The food was really good, tasty, and served within 20–25 minutes, which was great. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. The waiter forgot parts of our order multiple times, rarely came to check on us, and their attitude was quite indifferent. When paying, we were even charged for items we did not order, and one dish was billed twice, something we only realized afterwards(+20€ for nothing), also we had the leftover food packaged for takeaway, which we never received. The place is also not tourist-friendly, the staff doesn’t speak English (which in itself is understandable), but they didn’t even try to be helpful.

perfect place near the highway with parking, children's playground and fast and pleasant service. We ordered hamburger (meeh), meat plate (very good) and f16 - chicken wings (very very goooood). deffinitely place to stop on the way to Italy by car and will return here on the way back.
