KONOBA TEŽAK

One of the best restaurants we tried on island. Food was absolutely delicious, we tried 4 different dishes and all of them blew us away. Service was amazing, our waiter made great recommendations and made us feel right at home. Atmosphere and vibe far exceeded our expectations. Would recommend all seafood lovers to try this place out! Will definitely be returning if I am ever here again!

The restaurant is excellent – the food is fresh and delicious, and the service is top-notch. The waiters are fast, attentive, and friendly, which creates a pleasant dining atmosphere. Food delivery is quick and reliable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality food and great service!

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was really tasty and full of flavour. The prices are reasonable, portion sizes are generous. Also the staff is super friendly and helpful. I left feeling very satisfied. I’d happily come back again! :)

A hidden gem, far from main tourist paths. Strictly hyper local cuisine (lamb is a must try, so is local goat cheese) in a carefully curated setting. Kind and capable staff. Free parking, credit cards accepted. Best booked in advance.

The food was great, we had a fish plate for two. But especially service was great. Staff was really kind and giving good recommandations.

Very nice, food was delicious, lamb especially. Service great as well. Definitely a recommendation.

Excellent local food, almost perfect! We came as a group of 6 from a recommendation, and preordered a local lamb dish 2kg (about 115€) and octopus dish 2kg (about 95€) which were delicious. We also tried the local fish soup, cheese, prosciutto, local wine and rakia, all of which were excellent. A bit on the pricier side for the area (final bill was about 65€/person), but still good value for the amount of food and quality. One downside is that the restaurant is quite far from the main tourist city like Novalja where we were staying, so next time I would come by car because it was very difficult to find an uber/taxi unless you have a contact. Service was also impeccable, and the view overlooking the water at sunset was incredible. Food overall 5/5 Octopus: 5/5 excellent flavouring and tender Lamb: 4.5/5 the lamb was very tender but lacking a bit of salt or marinade, though the potatoes that came with were amazing. Local sheep cheese and prosciutto platter: 4.5/5 excellent quality but portion size could be a bit more generous Fish soup: 4/5 was good but lacked a bit seasoning or umami Rakia: we tried the local grappa, tasted a bit like black anis, and was a bit strong for my taste Local white wine: excellent profile, and I learned the local drink Gemist, which is 1/3 wine with 2/3 sparkling water Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Bonus: you can see many sheep roaming onto the road when on your drive over.
