Ivica - Grillen wie in Kroatien in Saarbrücken

As always, fine, rustic, handmade cuisine. Gladly again

Nice welcome, cozy restaurant, friendly service, delicious food... We'd love to go there again.

Yes, they have moved, they have been on Talstrasse for 3 years. Ivica is a very warm host, and just as honest are his delicious meat and vegetable skewers and his wonderful home-made fries. Where else do you get a handshake as a newcomer? Makes you want to come back.

Food super tasty. Staff super friendly and attentive. Highly recommended. Always my pleasure

A very relaxed restaurant with authentic Mediterranean food and very friendly staff. I can highly recommend it and will eat there again soon.

Small, quiet family restaurant. The prices are okay and the quality is very good. I particularly recommend Saturday with grilled dishes. Unfortunately not barrier-free.

Very tasty Croatian cuisine at a fair price! The owner works in the restaurant himself and is close to the guests with his Croatian charm! All in all it was a successful evening!

Highly recommended! Super friendly host and very good food.

As always, very tasty and great service. With great attention to detail, Mare and Ivica have transformed a simple restaurant into a beautiful restaurant with an outdoor terrace. Their excellent cuisine paired with Croatian hospitality will make you feel like you're on vacation.

After arriving at the restaurant, you are warmly greeted by the always charming boss and assigned your seat (we had reserved by phone). We were there on a Saturday and it was busy, but drinks and food were served quickly. The food was fantastic, if you like grilled food you will get your money's worth here, but the spaghetti with prawns is also excellent. We've been there several times now and every time we've been absolutely thrilled. It always feels like a short vacation in Croatia where you can forget the stress of everyday life for a short time. At the end you get a schnapps on the house from the nice boss. I can fully recommend Ivica to everyone.

Sensational hospitality from the owners Ivica and Mare. Here you feel like you are on vacation. The lovingly designed terrace and the restaurant always invite us to linger. As we have done so often, we ate very well again. Whether lunch or dinner, dessert or drinks. Everything fits here. Excellent food at a reasonable price.

The food was very good and the service and the owner were very, very nice. We'd love to come back

Whenever we feel homesick for Croatia we go here and enjoy the really good Croatian dishes. Croatian beer and of course Pipi, the best soda from Croatia. The boss and his wife are super nice and we always look forward to going there. But there is also very good German cuisine. A visit to Ivica is definitely worth it 🇭🇷❤️

Very tasty food and very friendly people 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🧏‍♀️🧏‍♀️🧏‍♀️🧏‍♀️🧏‍♀️

Super tasty starter platter with Croatian cheese and ham, followed by a perfectly grilled pork skewer. Very nice boss who also recommended a really good rosé. It was fun, gladly again!

Great restaurant with Dalmatian flair. Whether it's a starter, main course or dessert everything is delicious and edible. Everything is freshly prepared and well presented. Ivica is also a top restaurateur who welcomes his guests very friendly. I can highly recommend the restaurant.

We have known the restaurant for a long time and always enjoy going there. The food is delicious and everything is always freshly prepared, much of it based on recipes from the homeland (Dalmatia) of the two owners, Ivica and his wife. Both are very friendly and you are served promptly without a long wait. Ivica and his wife are always available for a nice chat if time permits. The restaurant is very lovingly, authentically and comfortably furnished; when the weather is nice, you almost feel like you're on vacation on the outdoor terrace. There is a weekly changing lunch menu, some with typical Croatian dishes, but also with German and Saarland dishes. There is also usually a fish dish or a vegetarian dish. The regular menu is also very diverse. The price-performance ratio is completely okay; elsewhere you can often find less good food for the same money with relatively simple side dishes, which often involve pre-prepared frozen products. Not so at Ivica, where there are fresh hand-cut fries and fresh salad with hand-grated raw vegetables with a good, simple dressing. Vegetable side dishes are also freshly cooked from fresh produce. All in all, a visit to Ivica is worth it. Below you can see Dalmatian brudet (fish goulash), grilled pulp octopus, homemade gnocchi with fine tomato sauce (all from the lunch menu!) and cevapcici, all very tasty.

I had Dubrovnik meat platter. Everything was delicious!!! I would definitely recommend for someone who wants to try authentic Balkan food. And it is very nice that the owner of the restaurant comes out to meet you upon your arrival!

The food was great, the service was very friendly and always there when you needed something. Highly recommended, again and again 🙏🏽

I was there yesterday Service top food top I ate the chicken from the grill I've never had such good chicken

After we met the boss in the wholesale store, we really had to go for a bite to eat. Croatia is our second home. The cevapcici were better than in Croatia. The food is delicious. Friendly people. The weather was warm so we were able to sit outside. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food, a bit expensive

We have been there several times now. The service is always friendly and really pleasant. Totally nice. And children are very welcome. We would recommend a reservation, just to be on the safe side. First of all: The food is amazing. It's really tasty across the board. If you like meat, you'll get your money's worth here. Everything fits there. Importantly, the meal doesn't just consist of filling side dishes; you should be quite hungry. For those who love meat - grilled - it is a paradise. What does the vegetarian faction find on the map? I have no idea, I didn't pay attention. But there's definitely something really good there too. No panic. Certainly. Recommendation: Go and try it out. I admit, I was skeptical at first because it is the successor to one of the best Italian restaurants in Saarbrücken. The bar was high. But it's a worthy successor in a completely different category.

Cute restaurant, delicious food and friendly staff. Interesting wine and menu, we felt very comfortable.

Sehr lecker,tolle Gastgeber. Ein Stück Kroatien mitten in der Stadt. Mare und Ivica tun alles damit man sich wohl fühlt. Erfüllen jeden Extrawunsch. Für mich jedesmal wieder ein Genuss Tina.Tina

Went to eat suckling pig. Super tasty. There is one caveat, however: while the glass of wine Although it was reasonably priced at €6 and €8, I find the price of €7.95 for 0.7 liters of mineral water to be very exaggerated.

This corner bar used to be called “Judgsklause”. Then there were Italian dishes there for a long time and now Croatian ones for a short time. Very nice hosts and a magnificent kitchen. Just try it out, even bravely, try everything - it's worth it. However, you should arrive with a good appetite because the dishes are not only delicious, but also generous in size.

The Croatian restaurant offers an authentic culinary experience that delighted us with its tender lamb peka under a cast iron bell - tender and full of flavor, like straight from Dalmatia. The warm hospitality of the staff rounded off the evening and made us feel like we were in Croatia. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

In addition to the extremely friendly staff, the food is excellent. We ate lamb on pre-order 10/10 we will definitely be back. Thank you !

You feel like you're at home 🏠 super nice service, always friendly and the food tastes great. For this reason, 5 stars from me 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Others can learn a lesson from this restaurant.

Great ambience, delicious food and warm innkeepers 🥰 It was a lovely and cozy evening at “Ivica”. The starter was already a taste explosion. The walnut cake in a glass with the caramel ice cream rounded the whole thing off perfectly. It was my first time there and I will definitely come back. Hvala!

Today we were here for dinner as part of the small team from the speech therapy practice Joey Holbach in Saarbrücken. As a small thank you for our great interns. We all enjoyed it very much and the ambience and service were great. The owners completely impressed us with their hospitality and professionalism.

Delicious food in a great environment with friendly staff. Praise.

Food ok, price for 0.2 l house wine €8.50 not appropriate!

Kroatische Küche wie in Kroatien und fiel besser. Atmosphäre und kroatische steiling gibt dir gefüll Wii in Urlaub. Qualität Welt klasse. Preis korrekt

Pleasant meal with good meats accompanied by rice and correct portions. Dessert, a walnut cake with ice cream, was good. The service was fast, good and friendly. Good Croatian restaurant.

Super tasty, very nice service, reasonable price.

A really lovely piece of Croatia. It starts with the rustic, cozy atmosphere, through the friendly service, to the great food. We also found the cellar beer very good. We'll be back soon.

We were in this restaurant for the first time. I would describe it as small but very fine. Everything that was ordered, 7 different dishes, was excellent. The service was great and very friendly. It's worth stopping here.

Very nice Croatian restaurant, with delicious food and a very nice owner. Gladly again!

Have been here several times, great, delicious food, very friendly, very good atmosphere. Why come all the way to Croatia when the good things are so close👍😃

Schöne Atmosphäre, superfreundlicher Service und das Essen sehr lecker. Wir waren begeistert und kommen sehr gerne wieder

Best Croatian food in Saarbrücken

Wie immer sehr lecker und ein klasse Service. Mare und Ivica haben mit viel Liebe zum Detail aus einer einfachen Gaststätte ein wunderschönes Restaurant mit Außenterasse gezaubert. Durch ihre hervorragende Küche gepaart mit kroatischer Gastfreundlichkeit fühlt man sich wie im Urlaub.

Great Croatian food, Mediterranean ambience, very friendly service (the boss himself), feeling like you're on vacation👍👍👍👍👍

Very tasty sea bream. Great service and cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely come back.

We waited here for the first time yesterday and we really enjoyed it. Very good food, nice service, pleasant atmosphere. We will be back!

There were 4 of us and we had a secluded, beautiful, rustic place. It was our first time eating Croatian food and we didn't know exactly what to expect. Positively surprised. Good value for money. Service friendly.

We discovered this restaurant after an afternoon of concerts at Saarbrücken Castle. Liked it very much. The food was very tasty and authentic. We'd love to come back.

Super nice evening with very lovely hosts

Very good food, cozy atmosphere and very nice service. Can only recommend this.

I had a portion of cevapcici with fries. The cevapcici were juicy and tasty. The fries seems to be homemade and I had to eat them all even though I was already full, as they are super tasty. :)

Yesterday we had a nice meal with the family. I personally had a portion of cevapcici with fries. The cevapcici were juicy and delicious in taste. The fries are probably homemade. I had to eat them all even though I was already full because they were so delicious. I'd love to come back :)

Very fine Croatian cuisine, in a cozy family atmosphere, and very pleasant service. Perfect for a nice evening with loved ones. 👍

Were in Saarbrücken for a few days and discovered this restaurant by chance. I'm very excited, a piece of Dalmatia in the middle of Saarbrücken! The ambience, the food, the flair, the service, everything was super authentic down to the last detail and very tasty! All that was missing was the beach promenade. This is definitely worth a visit and we will definitely come here again. I can only recommend!

Very good service. Every meal we had was extremely tasty and fresh. Best fries I've ever eaten! We'd love to come back!

Very satisfied! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was quiet and very pleasant. The boss was very nice and always in a good mood. Best restaurant for whole family. We always love going back!👍🏻

Authentic dishes, super nice staff, would love to come back

The best food in the most beautiful restaurant with the very best, most friendly service. I'm totally overwhelmed🫶🏼

This is pure Croatia. The only thing missing was the sea in front of the door. Great hosts and the Peka was awesome. I've been sailing in Croatia for almost 30 years and have rarely had a Peka like this, actually never before. We were all just thrilled and will come back - no question. Thank you and see you soon!

Today there is only 1 star, waiting for 1 hour for food and then the boss's arguments because we didn't order the same dishes and the terrace is still full are not acceptable at all. Then it's better not to say anything...the nice waiter tried to pull it out. It remains to be seen whether we will come back 🤷‍♀️

The food was great. I had Dubrovnik meat platter and truffle pasta. Everything was delicious with pasta being absolutely the best. I would definitely recommend for someone who wants to try authentic croatian food.

Everything was very good. We will be back definitely!

Great food, very cozy, you feel very comfortable and looked after

It was outstanding! It's been a long time since I've eaten so well and been served so kindly. Thanks for this lovely lunch!

If you want to know what Croatian cuisine should taste like, then you have to come here. This can not be done any better! I would like to give 6 stars. (Cook M 42J)

Great Croatian food like back home!

Very good down-to-earth food, nice service. Had a pleasant evening, gladly again!

Waited forever for food, service didn't freshen up drinks once, no bread on the table - but others did. Service miserable. Never again. Hungry until the end.

The best fries around and great steak. Great service and we have never been disappointed here

Yesterday, had a great family evening at Ivica's! We had a great evening with great food, super friendly service staff and a great atmosphere! Highly recommended, everything fits from A to Z! We'll definitely be back!

Delicious 😋 food can recommend it!

Very good Croatian!!! The fries are homemade and the very good meat is regional. It was very tasty, we would love to come back!!!! Keep it up....

The "horische" were still raw and were charged in full despite complaints.

Had dinner today, super local and friendly service

Discovered it by chance at Inter and didn't regret it. It was very tasty and high quality. Nice service and a nice atmosphere. We will come back when we are in Saarbrücken.

Best restaurant in Saarbrücken. Food is excellent every time. Service is super nice and accommodating. Price performance is great!

I had dinner yesterday, pasticada with gnocchi, it was great. As always, everything is delicious and homemade. The pasticada is tender and juicy and the gnocchi is hand-rolled, simply delicious.

Never again! Only the salad was good and fresh, so two points!

Good food, not a long wait, super nice service.

Very comfortable, casual and relaxed atmosphere. The food is of absolutely great quality at a reasonable price. I can particularly recommend schnitzel; juicy, crispy and simply delicious. Conclusion: Always my pleasure!

After reading the reviews, which were almost all positive, we decided on this restaurant, believing that everything will be top notch, as well as the prices. Total disappointment. Tomato soup too thick and burnt, bun dry and slightly browned, kebabs rubbery at all, skewers not cooked, grilled vegetables 5-6 pieces, rice dry and hard. And we waited almost an hour for the main course. There was only one waitress working and the restaurant was full. Basically, the quality of the food is zero and the prices are too high for the same. Very disappointing experience. Lp and all the best...

We were there for the first time today and were really impressed. The food was great and the service was very warm. We will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend it. Thanks so much!

All in all, a rock-solid restaurant. Nothing particularly good, but nothing to complain about either. The steak on the grill was very good. Would love to come back.

We were a large group and everyone was enthusiastic. The hosts were courteous and attentive. The suckling pig was great. Definitely coming back!

Today I was back in Saarbrücken for the first time in 8 years and of course I had to eat here again. Like in the old days. The food was fantastic. Service 1A. But I don't like the new location. The tables are so close together, no chance of privacy. Too many tables for this area.

Delicious restaurant and great service well done

Sehr zu empfehlen und der Service ist To😊

Essen war mega lecker.. Preis Leistung top

Hrana i ugostitelji su jako dobri

Es war alles gut. Essen war fein, Bedienung sehr freundlich und aufmerksam

Ein super Restaurant, das wir schon seit Jahren kennen. Schon am alten Standort ein Hammer und immer noch ein Highlight zum Abendessen. Immer wieder sehr sehr gerne, auch mit Freunden

Super Laden. Tolles Essen. Super Personal. Toller Chef. Guter Schnaps.

Wir waren ein paar Tage Urlaub machen in Saarbrücken und sind dann auf das Restaurant Ivica gestoßen. Das Essen hat eine super Qualität und schmeckt hervorragend. Das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wenn wir das nächste mal wieder in der Nähe sind, werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder dort essen gehen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Mega Essen und ein sehr netter Service

Ich komme seit einigen Jahren in dieses Restaurant, und obwohl ich nicht aus Kroatien komme, fühle ich mich hier wie Zuhause bei Mama und Papa! Die Atmosphäre ist freundlich und das Essen ist einfach toll und mit Liebe zubereitet - das merkt man am Geschmack! Und die selbstgemachten Pommes sind die besten in Saarbrücken, meiner Meinung nach. Zu empfehlen!

Essen war sehr gut, Grillplatte für 2. Pommes Top

So stellt man sich einen Kroatien-Kurzurlaub vor. Vielen Dank für die nette Bedienung

Ein Hauch Kroatien in Saarbrücken. Sehr authentisch.

Familiengeführtes, gemütliches Restaurant mit Wohlfühlatmospäre.Im Sommer mit schöner Terasse und Grill. Gekocht und serviert wird mit Liebe und viel kroatischem Herz! Essen einfach Top.Super Grillgerichte, hausgemachte Pommes, frische Salate...und das ganze zu wirklich (seeeehr) fairen Preisen.Bitte weiter so :)
