Rooms & Restaurant Matanovi Dvori

We had a fantastic meal in the restaurant tonight. Great, fresh food at fair prices and in a convenient location not far from Zadar. Our waiter, Dino, was very friendly, attentive, professional - the best waiter we've been served by in Croatia. The other wait staff were also friendly and accommodating, fitting us in without a reservation. We will be back next time we holiday in Zadar 👌

Best value for money. We are coming here for more than 2 years now. Rooms are new, great interior design, good aircondion system. Breakfast has everything one needs for good start in the day. Children friendly.
Restaurant always has great food and perfect service.

We had the most delicious dinner here on Wednesday. Ivan took great care of us and was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine. Everything we tried was very good and showcased excellent Croatian food and drink. We liked it so much that we booked a table for another night so we could try more of the menu!

Edited to add: second visit was just as good, we had a lovely table, and excellent service from Ivan again who is efficient and friendly and speaks excellent English.

Between us we've had the sea bass, spaghetti with clams, slow cooked lamb, tuna steak, pasta with shrimp and clams, beefsteak tomato salad, and shrimp risotto, and all have been really tasty.

Fantastic food at the restaurant. Everything really fresh from the olive oil (made by the boss!) through to the fantastic meat and fish options - all delicious. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, our wine opening was accompanied by an explanation of the grapes in the wine, what it tastes like and when it was bottled. We were impeccably taken care of by Ivan, thanks Ivan! Highly recommend you pay a visit.

Fresh mediteranean food with great service. Has it's own parking however due to high demand you maybe strike out in finding parking but oposite of the road on the seaside there is big place to park for free. It is located on the main road so easy to find. Due to high demand and popularity i would strongly recomend reserving in advance by telephone

Excellent and delicious food. Everything is homemade and cooked to perfection. Our waiter, Ivan, was very kind, generous and had a nice sense of humor. We will definitely be back again.

So, I will assess only the food. It was served with exquisite taste. I order risotto with shrimps and bruschetta, everything tasted delicious. Other food that my family ordered was steak and risotto with vegetables. Also heaven in mouth. I recommend this restaurant for people that are interested in nomilicious (tasty) food

Excellent restaurant near marina. Good lamb & local wine.

The restaurant is excellent. The food is delicious, I can recommend the octopus salad, and both the fish and meat platters. Service is quick and pleasant.
The only downside is they allow smoking on the patio, which can be annoying for non-smokers.

We ate lunch at restaurant and food was really good, both meat and fish too. Really tasteful and good. Portion size was also good, prices are fine, only service was a bit slow and we waited for food a bit longer (desert really long). Other than that all good. Recommended!

A very good restaurant, on a high level, professional service and very good food. Very affordable prices compared to other known tourist destinations, for 30-40€ per person you will get a really good meal well worth the money. If passing by, stop here for lunch or dinner. Might be wise to reserve a table in advance.

Came to the restaurant for the second time and it definately won't be the last. Delicious and fresh seafood - we tried the "hladni pijat" and "pašteta od tune" for appetizers, mussels, fish plate for two, tuna steak, lamb, ossobuco... They also have great wine selection, the staff was lovely, nice interior. 10/10 would recommend.

Great food, see you again!

Exellent food. I had a tuna steak, and it was delicious. The othwr time caprese salad - again very tasteful.

Just recently booked and stayed one night. We originally had booked four nights. However due to some plumbing issues we couldn’t stay through our four nights. Matthew, whom I believe is the owner went above and beyond with making sure we had somewhere else to stay, in the same area. We also had a medium sized dog and he made sure that the place we went too also accepted our dog. Matthew has some very good hospitality skills and the whole staff of his restaurant is absolutely amazing too. They were all very friendly and spoke great English! Would definitely love to come back and do business with him again. I strongly recommend staying here!!

Excellent food and fantastic / friendly & helpfull staff. Great value for the price!
