If your mouth has started to water just by looking at the header photo, you must be a steak lover. So welcome; we have a treat for you! There are not many fine-dining Croatian steakhouses, but there is one you should pay attention to if you are looking to beef up your steak game. Restaurant JIST near Rijeka specializes in meat. But not just any meat – the best steaks your taste buds have tasted. As a matter of fact, we want you to drool in the following paragraphs dedicated exclusively to JIST’s appetizing beef steaks.
How Rare Do You Want Your Steak?
The owner of Restaurant JIST started a gourmand business by exclusively offering Croatian food and beverage. Over the years, the restaurant opened to an international selection of meat.
For example, you can choose Aberdeen Angus beef, Chianina beef, and Rubia Gallega beef. There’s also Australian and Japanese Wagyu beef (for example, Ozaki beef). But what’s more impressive is that JIST is the only restaurant in Croatia that serves certified Kobe beef, a rare sight on the Croatian gourmand scene.

Assemble Your Delicious Course Meal with a Little Help from the Staff
Restaurant JIST was purposefully put in dark wood to give it a rustic feel and is modeled after American steakhouses. This provides the place with a perfect atmosphere for enjoying a meal that centers around a steak.
Your stake will arrive on a beautifully arranged hot plate with five sauces and rock salt. But before it comes, you may want to start your steakhouse experience with a tasty cold entrée. Have a taste of goose foie gras, caviar (Siberian, Oscietra, or Beluga), raw oysters, prosciutto, and cheese selection (Queso Canario, Comte, or Manchego).
Continue with a warm entrée, which can be a lobster thermidor, veal cheek, or homemade pasta. Then crown your meal with a beef steak of your choice – rib-eye, filet, burger, porterhouse, T-bone, tomahawk – and finish it with mille-feuille or sorbet.
Let’s not forget about beverages. There are plenty of premium red wine and champagne choices, and you can also sample fine drinks, such as bourbon, cognac, or Japanese whiskey, through the restaurant's dedicated “Flights” options.
