Restaurant Viking Lim Fjord: Review

I always choose restaurant Viking for my food trips to Lim Fjord. I have never eaten at restaurant Fjord, and cannot judge. But all my friends and acquaintances always eat at restaurant Viking Lim Fjord. Since I am not native to Istria, I just assumed that restaurant Viking must be better and more trustworthy. Beside, everything I ate there was good, which gave me no reason to look for a change.

Restaurant Viking Lim Fjord: Grilled Scallops
Grilled Scallops

Restaurant Viking Lim Fjord is a huge place, with really boring interior, but with a beautiful terrace overlooking the green Lim Fjord waters under the shadow of pine trees.

I went for a lunch the other day with few friends. For appetizer we chose grilled scallops. Scallops were freshly sweet, simply grilled with a olive oil. Then we had some mussels in a white wine sauce. Mussels were fresh and properly-prepared, very meaty and tender.

Restaurant Viking Lim Fjord: Homemade Pasta

For the main course, we went with homemade pasta with scampi, shrimps and kanestrele (small scallops). Pasta was perfectly cooked with a simple white wine sauce. The sauce was light and just bound the ingredients together, not overwhelming them.

For the dessert, I had a sorbetto. Perfect choice for the hot summer days. The accompanying wine was local white wine Malvasia. The total cost per person: 20 €.
