Restaurant Rivica
Njivice

Rivica stands on Ribarska obala in Njivice, with a shaded terrace looking toward the small port. Its history begins in 1934, when Mare and Ivan opened a boarding house in what was then a fishing village. Their hospitality business developed through successive generations, including Ivica and Vera, into the restaurant presented today. The family story remains part of its identity, alongside a kitchen that combines regional tradition with contemporary techniques. The restaurant places Krk and Kvarner at the center of its cooking. It also acknowledges influences from Venetian cuisine and the former monarchy, reflecting the different traditions that have shaped this part of the Adriatic. Local ingredients and fish caught by local fishermen guide the seasonal menus. That approach makes the changing supply of produce and seafood part of the restaurant's character, rather than treating the menu as a fixed list throughout the year. Wine is another substantial element of the experience. The house brings together bottles from local and international cellars and emphasizes matching them with the food. Guests who enjoy understanding the connection between an island and its cooking can therefore approach the meal through both the plate and the glass. The setting suits a visit built around the harbor: sit down on the terrace, explore the current seasonal selection and allow time for the meal itself. Reservations can be requested directly, making it straightforward to plan a restaurant visit as part of a trip north from Malinska.
