Rooftop Restaurant Fazana operates at Trg stare škole 6, on the roof of the house where Restaurant Korta has worked since 1988, a few steps from the pier where the boats to Brijuni leave. In the guide to restaurants in Fažana it holds first place as a featured partner, and on Google it has a 4.9 rating from 107 reviews, the highest in town, though from a smaller sample than the konobas on the waterfront. This text explains what you see from that roof, what you eat and how to get a table in September 2026.
Where it is and what you see
Trg stare škole is the row of terraces along Fažana's harbour, between the Brijuni pier and Titova riva. Rooftop is the only one of them on a roof. From the terrace you look across the harbour to the Brijuni islands, and the sun sets over them, so the most sought-after tables are held for the hour before dark. Below is Korta, with its covered first-floor terrace; the same people run both houses and they share the phone number 091 252 0002. A large car park is about thirty metres from the entrance, which on the waterfront in July and August is no small thing.
What is on the menu
The kitchen is Mediterranean, with an emphasis on fish and seafood, plus vegetarian dishes. The restaurant's own website offers the menu only as a PDF, with no prices in the text, so we do not quote figures here; in the jelo.hr database the restaurant sits in the mid price range, the same as Korta and Batana on the same square. Korta's menu gives a picture of the cooking from the same house: homemade fuži with Istrian truffle, Adriatic sardines, grilled squid, scampi and steaks, with vegetable risottos for guests who skip fish.
Room for a large party
On its own website the restaurant presents itself as a place for celebrations: birthday dinners, corporate celebrations, weddings, religious celebrations and family gatherings, "from family dinners to big celebrations". The space is therefore wider than the usual waterfront terrace, and Korta in the same house offers group menus in Croatian, English, German and Italian for organised parties. For a couple coming to dinner this means that on a Saturday evening in season part of the roof may be taken by a single party, which makes a booking all the more important.
Booking and opening hours
Tables are booked through the form on the website, via WhatsApp or by calling 091 252 0002. Rooftop does not publish its own opening hours; Korta in the same house is open daily from 11 am to 11 pm. A roof terrace lives off the season: in summer a booking is essential for sunset, while in September and October, as long as the Brijuni boats still run, a lunch table is easier to find than a Friday or Saturday dinner. Off-season, call before you come. The restaurant's profile on jelo.hr has photos, contact details and a map; the restaurant is marked as pet-friendly, takes large groups and offers takeaway.
What guests highlight
Guests in reviews highlight the view from the terrace and the room for larger groups; with a 4.9 rating complaints are rare so far, and the review count is still growing, so the verdict should be read with that caveat. For comparison, Batana on the same square carries 4.5 from more than 2,300 reviews and Korta 4.4 from more than 1,400. In September 2026 Rooftop is the best-rated restaurant in Fažana, with the smallest sample.
How to use the harbour's rhythm
The Brijuni boats leave in the morning and return in the afternoon, so the terraces on the square are busiest around noon and between 5 and 8 pm. A late lunch around 3 pm passes without a wait. For dinner with the view, ask for a table at the edge of the terrace and arrive before sunset; after 9 pm the waterfront empties and the roof stays calmer than the terraces by the water. The other Fažana addresses, from Batana by the pier to Pizzeria Bambino and Navetta on the road to Pula, are in the guide to restaurants in Fažana, and the full directory with addresses and opening hours in the list of restaurants in Fažana.
