Looking for the perfect spot for a date but running out of ideas? You’re not alone, the pressure is real.

As a local Croatian dating app, we at BokBok want to give you a hand. And where better to start than with Rijeka - the city we know inside out. It’s our home, and we’ve explored every hidden corner, café, and seaside terrace that sets the mood for a great date.

And this is just the beginning. Soon, we’ll be sharing our favorite date spots in Zagreb, Split, Osijek, and other cities across Croatia.

But for now, let’s dive into the very best Rijeka has to offer. Here are our Top 5 Date Spots:


5. Kon-Tiki Bar (Volosko)

When you want to get away from the city buzz. Tucked on a pier in the charming harbor of Volosko, Kon-Tiki offers an atmosphere that’s hard to top.

Picture this: a terrace surrounded by the sea, golden sunsets, and drinks with someone you’re into. Afterwards, take a stroll along the lungo mare promenade to Opatija.

Perfect for a second or third date—or even a first one if you’re into the sea and a laid-back vibe.


4. Kings Cafe (Rijeka)

Sometimes, the classics are the safest bet.

Right in Rijeka’s center, Kings Cafe is reliable but never boring. Its cozy interior and calm atmosphere make it ideal for relaxed conversation without too much noise or distraction.

Bonus: the food is spot-on—from brunches to burgers—so your coffee date can easily turn into lunch or dinner.


3. Pogon Trsat (Rijeka Brewery)

For beer lovers, this place is a no-brainer.

Its retro interior feels like a living room, while the local craft beers and chilled vibe help melt away any first-date nerves.

The staff is great at recommending something new—an easy icebreaker while you settle into conversation.


2. Boonker (Rijeka)

Location is everything—and Boonker has one of the best in the city, sitting right on the water.

By day, enjoy coffee with a view of the yachts; by night, it turns into a romantic spot for pizza and drinks by the sea.

The sound of waves and city lights make the perfect backdrop—a mix of casual and special that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.


1. Zvjezdarnica (Galileo Bar)

Our absolute number one pick.

Perched above the city, Galileo Bar offers breathtaking views of the entire Kvarner Bay under a star-filled sky.

Peaceful, intimate, and a little bit magical—it’s the perfect setting for real conversations and genuine connection.

It takes a little effort to get there, but trust us—it’s worth it. A date under the stars is simply unbeatable.
