Dining Among the Clouds at Nebo
There are restaurants you visit for the food, and restaurants you visit for the view – Nebo is that rare gem where you don't have to choose. Perched on the fifth floor of the Hilton Rijeka Costabella, I was completely mesmerized the moment I stepped out of the lift. The floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame the Adriatic Sea, the rugged coastline, and the wild beauty of Cres island like a living masterpiece.
A Culinary Journey Through Croatia
Under the talented leadership of resident chef Gabriela Filca, the kitchen crafts tasting menus that read like love letters to Croatian terroir. I was impressed by how traditional ingredients – tender lamb, the freshest catch of the day, delicate trout, foraged nettles, and sweet strawberries – are transformed into dishes that balance flavor and artistry with impeccable technique. Each course tells a story of both sea and land.
The Complete Experience
The minimalist, contemporary design creates an atmosphere of understated elegance that never competes with the view or the food. The service team strikes that perfect balance between professional and warm, guiding you through the experience with genuine care. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, featuring Croatian treasures alongside international selections.
Why You Should Visit
If you're seeking a memorable dining experience in Rijeka, Nebo deserves a spot at the top of your list. Come for sunset if you can – watching the sky paint itself over the Adriatic while savoring innovative Croatian cuisine is simply unforgettable.
