Kavana Semafor

Restaurant

👍👍 Looks similar to the other restaurants in town but food is a cut above the rest. Lime prawn avocado starter was exceptional (my photography skills cannot do it any justice). Burgers excellent. Good service, nice setting to people watch sitting on the pavement. People often mention waiter, nice, good, restaurant, delicious,

    Nice place. Full of locals. Drinks only. Very affordable prices in comparison to the heart of old town. Nice modern and authentic vibe. A fun place to people watch. Huge drink menu full of hot and cold beverages. Smoking allowed. Cool interior design and stone wall. Two coffees, one with milk and one without for 18 kuna. Responsive staff. Handicap accessible. Easy to spot. Trees inside. A good find and a nice place to take a breather and sit for a while. Reliable wifi connection.

    Would give less than 1 if possible. Waited 10 mins to order just drinks. It was a busy night, but when you're at full capacity, just dont take anyone. Food came after 45 mins, almost cold, tasted nothing. Girls with table next to us had to remind the waiter about their food and 15 seconds later their food was there, which means they just walk around (which the waiters were doing a lot) before bringing the food. Also, complete disregard from their side and zero organization. Just waiters running around like headless chickens. Service zero.

    Located in the city center right outside the city's walls. Amazing place to seat outside. Main courses are not expensive. Menu mainly consisting of pizzas, burgers, pasta but also with fish options. A meal for two with drinks costs around 26€.

    What a nice surprise...i did not plan to eat here but there was something for me try. The open space terrace helps to enjoy the dishes prepared by chef Slavica. Small lamps at the tables are super cool, help to take photos. We started with seafood soup- delicious and very hot. I rather wait to cool the dish down than to have "barely warm"dish. Main course was seafood risotto ...really well done just as supposed to be and pork loin filled with dry plums- absolutely a hit for me. Meat was soft and full of flavors. We finished everything with warm chocolate cake and an ice cream. Chef Slavica and our waiter Romana did a phenomenal job, thank you all . I also had a Croatia's beer- nice light easy to drink. I definitely recommend this place to visit. One wish -people who smoke would stay farther away from the main tables i do not like the smoke of the cigarettes.

    Tasty food with reasonable price. Cheaper than old town. Ordered fish soup with shrimp and fish fillet (50 kn), very delicious. Slow cooked beef (75kn) and fish platter (130kn). Highly Recommended!

    small restaurant so be prepared to wait if you come during the dinner rush. The young male waiter with black hair and a black beard was very accommodating and sweet. Food is reasonably priced and good👍🏽

    Had lunch here with a couple of friends and we were pleasantly surprised. The waiter was really nice and had a smile on his face the whole time. The food was reasonably priced and tasty and portions were generous. We will definitely come back

    The place looks fancy except with very reasonable prices. The food is tasty and the portions are generous.

    Went here twice because the food was so delicious. The first time, the service was amazing. The chef was so friendly and giving us great information about the food. The second time, the waiter was basically ignoring us and everything was so slow to arrive. Took forever to try get someone’s attention to even take our order. Food was still absolutely divine though, I would still go again.

    What can I say but...phenomenal! Went with my family and all four of us loved our food. Pictured below is my tomato soup starter & pork with plums and mash main. The atmosphere was great too, they had a nice 80s jams playlist going and since it’s not on a busy street there wasn’t lots of noise. This place is slightly hidden away but worth searching for!

    We had seafood pasta, fish soup and tomato ravioli for dinner. Foods weren't bad at all. Waiters were very cheerful and swift. Price is a bit on the expensive side.

    waiter was so rude. they weren’t busy but it look us half an hour to get the bill. The food was good but wouldn’t recommend because of how bad the service was

    I researched for one hour where to go and eat the local Pasticada dish and it paid off cause I found this jewel. We could not have been more happy with the result. The dish was AMAZING. Seems they have another mainland restaurant where they cook the meat and that's why it stands out from the other that are just seasonal. Also the Semafor dessert is delicious. Cannot recommend it enough! Great job guys, thank you.

    Looked good but tasted average.

  • 5/5 m G. 6 years ago on Google
    Seriously, I only have a half eaten plate to show because we ate everything so fast! This restaurant is amazing, delicious and and DELICIOUS! MITHO, Delicioso, ukusno, so so good! We had a plain spaghetti with basil, Lovačka pizza, calamari and fries and mushroom truffle ravioli. I don't usually give a 5 star, but this place was clean, on a cute street and have I mentioned the food??

    Quality/price is good compared to others but the service is terrible. The waiter was impatient and rolled his eyes at us. He never even uttered one work. I hope this waiter finds help.

  • 3/5 Gitana L. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want just to eat it's ok. If you would like to eat tasty this place not perfect for thant. Also you have to wait for menu, after waiting quite long, I went to the waiter to ask for menu. He just said take from that table. Staff unhappy and not friendly.

    This place is amazing! The food was delicious and not too expensive. The staff was also very nice, special shoutout tot Romano!!!

  • 1/5 Rebekka K. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was exceptionally rude. Besides not being friendly overall, the waiter messed up our order. When we complained we were told that it was our fault. When it came to paying the bill we asked for separate checks, the waiter told us that "it couldn't be done" but he afterwards entered the full amount into the EC terminal manually - we don't get why he couldn't enter the individual amounts and he didn't care to explain. After we paid, he just said "ok" and left - not even a goodbye.

    Nice restaurant with fair prices. We had to wait just a short time to get the food. The semafor pizza is absolutely amazing! The hamburger was not a top one, but just an average. You should put the burger buns on a stove for a few seconds to make them crunchy instead of serving them gummy. Nevertheless the meat in the hamburger was done well. Therefore 5 stars, because I liked your restaurant also 2 years ago when I ordered some seafood (that was great prepared).
