Where to Visit

Visitor Testimonials (512)

Not an ordinary Croatian island restaurant. This place offers very interesting, some would call it modern take on the traditional dishes available all around the coast. I can definitely recommend this place and their very interesting (warm!) octopus salad in a parmesan bowl!

Very nice pub to visit. We hade only appetizers but it was delicious. Octopus salad, čivaba and grilled peppers with cheese. The photo is from the middle, sorry for that. The waitress knows also Czech language. ????????

Very good food - simple and delicious Place with Amazing view Serwis very profesional

Amazing little place offering dining as close to the water as you can wish. The service is fantastic and incredibly welcoming. I really enjoyed the grill / mixed meat dinner, which is perfectly cooked on a proper outdoor charcoal bbq (my wife ordered the fish and loved it too).

We had a group dinner, food was very good, but what I missed was wider range of wine. But overall everything was delicious!

We had such a nice time, everything was perfect. The restaurant is right by the sea which creates a wonderful atmosphere, a real Mediterranean experience. We ate octopus under a "bell" served by the chef. The food is so delicious. Professional staff who make us feel welcome. Big recommendation.

Perfect stay for a perfect birthday! Thank you! Everytime wieh pleasure again.
