I’ve been poisoned with oysters in tis restaurant, few years ago. For four days I had high fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. That day 15 primary care doctors from Rijeka, Croatia were poisoned in Plavi podrum and I was one of them. All we got is a very lame and cold apology from the owner. I’ll never set my foot in this restaurant again.
