Fritolin pri Cantini
An affordable seafood spot on 1st of May Square with self-service ordering; the fried squid is a crowd favorite, making it a highly rated budget choice in Piran.
Located at Prvomajski trg (1st of May Square) 10 in the Old Town, this eatery looks like a street food stall from the outside but features wooden decor and grapevines inside, with a few tables outdoors. It operates on a self-service basis: order at the window, receive a numbered seashell, and wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. Drinks must be ordered separately. The signature dish is fried squid, and they also serve octopus, polenta, salads, and homemade lemonade. Expect lines during peak hours. It costs around €15–€20 per person. The nearest parking is the Fornače garage, where you can catch a city shuttle bus or walk about 10 minutes to Tartini Square.
Opening hours
Daily 11:00 AM–10:00 PM (some platforms show that during the low season, Mon–Thu hours are only until 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM)
