While in Rijeka, we recommend that you try local Croatian cuisine. Yes, you can always try fast food (in that case we recommend you try Surf’n ‘fries which is really good french fries made without oil (as I was said)).
Within walking distance there are a lot of small and cosy places where you can eat a good meal for affordable prices. Here are some of them (tested by us;)).
Kuća istarskog pršuta (Istrian Prosciutto House)
Located between the port and the city market, Kuća istarskog pršuta offers brunch, lunch and dinner and also the possibility of prosciutto and salami tasting as well as daily menus. It has a good selection of wine and rakija.

Ristorante Spagho
Although this is mainly an Italian restaurant it offers a variety of food from fish to pasta and steaks. Prices are a bit higher than other restaurants but the food is really good and we advise you to try it.

Konoba Na kantunu
Here you can always enjoy affordable fresh fish, olive oil and unusual delicious dishes.
