Beneath centuries-old stone arches, Sveti Jakov Restaurant offers more than just a seat at the table—it delivers a layered culinary encounter, shaped by heritage and elegance. Housed within a historic villa and surrounded by manicured gardens, this tranquil space invites both intimacy and sophistication. The menu stays rooted in Mediterranean clarity: grilled meats, house-made pasta, and Kvarner Bay’s finest catch—think lobster, scallops, and fish soup seasoned with depth and memory.

Every ingredient is locally sourced, every plate built on care and precision. Wines? Choose from over 100 labels—local gems and international classics—served by the glass or bottle. Sveti Jakov Restaurant lends itself to every kind of gathering: business lunches, private celebrations, romantic dinners, or intimate wedding receptions. Each visit becomes its own quiet indulgence. Indoors, soft lighting, vintage murals, and attentive service set the tone. Outdoors, linen-draped tables catch the Adriatic breeze, while glasses chime beneath the arches—a graceful nod to Opatija’s enduring charm.
