Restaurant near Zadar — Infinity Libre in Ražanac
If you’re looking for where to eat near Zadar, Infinity Libre is 25 km north of the city — a 30-minute drive via the A1 motorway. A Mediterranean restaurant with its own spit, peka iron bell, and wood-fired pizza oven. Open daily 06:00–24:00, free parking, full year-round operation including off-season months.
How to get here from Zadar
From central Zadar take the A1 motorway northbound, exit at Posedarje, then 8 km straight on local roads to Ražanac. Total drive: 30–35 minutes. Without the motorway via the old Nin road it takes about 45 minutes. GPS: 44.2731, 15.3382. Free parking directly in front of the restaurant — plenty of room for coaches and minivans.
Why drive outside the city
City-centre Zadar restaurants are convenient for tourists, but the surrounding area serves more authentic Dalmatian cooking, lower prices, and access to traditional techniques like peka (24-hour preparation) that simply isn’t feasible in central kitchens. Ražanac, Pag, Nin and Posedarje are the local pick for a special meal.
What to order on a first visit
Classics: veal under the iron bell (order in advance, €32/person), lamb on the spit (€28/person, served all day), fresh Adriatic fish from the daily catch, wood-fired pizza from €9. Wine list features Istrian, Dalmatian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian labels.
Who comes here
Families with kids (children’s menu, outdoor play area), couples for anniversaries (terrace with sea-air views), groups for celebrations (up to 60 with notice), tourists crossing the Pag bridge or coming from Pag island (15 km), Zadar residents looking to escape the city tempo. Staff speaks Croatian, English, German; Italian and French at menu level.
Open year-round
Unlike many seasonal coastal restaurants, we operate year-round — including the quiet months November–March. Winter brings a more intimate atmosphere; the hearth under the pizza oven is the warmest spot in Ražanac. Reservations aren’t required except for peka, but in summer phoning ahead is wise.
