Our specialties

Lobster

Unique and exciting – you choose and select live one from our aquarium, and we discuss together how would you like it prepared and served to your taste

Octopuss

Freshly caught locally, the best there is. You can have it as an apetizer (salad), cooked under the bell, or fried -with a side of veggies and potatoes

Freash fish

Extra class quality fish – we present daily catch within chilled showcase – for you only the best from the depths of Adriatic sea

Meat on the spit

“Meat on the spit“ – made with best quality , localy grown, lamb, goat or pork meat, prepared and served in a traditional way

This was our favourite place to eat in Vela Luka. We ate here three times and really enjoyed the fresh, simply cooked dishes. We particularly liked the fish stew (different every day depending on the catch), grilled meats (including a HUGE mixed grill), and potatoes with blitva (a bit like spinach). Recommend the posip wine – the perfect accompaniment to everything. Very good value for money and a relaxed friendly environment.

Best dinner ever in Croatia!!! Seafood spaghetti (80kn) is simply wonderful!!! We also tasted octopus with fried potatoes (80kn) which is also good!! We just regret leaving tomorrow without a chance to return!!

Malaquias, Viseu

Great food, one of the best steak in green pepper what I ate, excellent fish dishes, rich offer. Only local wine was not at the level of the others on the island, though I think it’s a matter of individual taste.

More About us

Our Menu

One of the reasons for popularity of Dalmatian cuisine is in it’s prepration. Not only our food is interesting, colorful and heatlhy, we also prepare it in a very traditional way, that has barely changed over the years. This requires more time to prepare it, but the result is fascinating, both in taste and texture. All our food is prepared fresh, from the start, and exlusively with fresh local produce. Your patience (have another glass of vine or “ rakija“ ) will be rewarded in true sense of what we beleive in: „ it is either perfect or it is not good at all“ .

“Meat on the spit“ – made with best quality
