When you go to Croatia, everyone always tries some of their grilled meats. Every menu we went to had some sort of grill menu, so we decided to go out to Restaurant Portun and try out a big plate of meat. This place had a sign that said “Best Grill in the Area” which had us sold. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but we opted for outdoors as we wanted to enjoy the lovely evening weather. At Restaurant Portun we didn’t order a ton of different food, but we did EAT.
Mixed BBQ Grill
There are a few different mixed grill options, with various different meats on it. We went for the BBQ grill as it had a few things we very much wanted to try. Starting with the bed of food, on the bottom of the board there were tons of thick cut fries and a row of just okay onion rings. On top was all the meat! We had chicken wings and BBQ ribs, which had the same sweet BBQ sauce on them. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone and perfectly cooked, and the wings themselves were well seasoned and crispy. I wish they had a different sauce as it wasn’t my thing. Moving onto items we aren’t quite sure of; there was this sort of take on Hunter’s Chicken which had very thin chicken, stuffed with a cheese and bacon mix, wrapped in bacon. This was very interesting, goo-y and dedicant. Next on the platter was a giant hamburger-like patty, with a large dollop of cheese on top. The meat had two different textures, which was interesting. It was very well seasoned! The sausage on the platter was my favorite – nice and thin, very smoky and well seasoned. There were som roasted vegetables as well and sauces.
Drinks at Restaurant Portun
We were going to get dessert, but they were out of the dessert that caught our eye and we were both pretty full, so Dann picked out a shot of grappa. Now, they gave us so much more than a shot and the grappa wasn’t at all what I expected. Dann said it was harsher than he expected as well, but a fun way to try something local and finish off our meal. The staff at Restaurant Portun were very kind and the atmosphere was great for a random evening.
Wow that is a big plate of meat, I think I would have been glad the decision of no dessert was made for me if they didn’t have what I wanted. I usually do not like shots like that and my husband used to drink mine for me
That BBQ platter omg…Everything looks so delicious….Portun seems like my kind of restaurant. Love it.
Wow the mixed bbq grill looks delicious! Perfect sharing platter for two indeed. I would love to try the food at Portun
