My friends I and I were lucky enough to visit this wonderful spot during the low season. The server was exceptional and took the time to explain what was available. Our little group has several major food restrictions and the server happily helped us figure out what we could order. They’re a family run business and make everything in house. The olives and olive oil and made on their farm and available for purchase along with jams, and amazing traditional cheese! This a can’t miss spot on the island of Krk.

An absolutely wonderful, tailored experience. The family farm made cheese, local prosciutto, handmade pasta, and so much more…made this meal exceptional. Buy the local jams, figs or olive oil. You won’t regret it! I highly recommend.

5 of us had lunch with variety of homegrown products such as primarily lamb and cheese. Lamb stew with home made pasta, lamb under the lid, salad- all of these were perfection. If you're nearby this place is a MUST to have a lunch or dinner. It's very cozy, in the summertime you will get fresh breeze trough the terrace. Staff is welcoming, relaxed and helpful. Don't miss this one!

Food is good but the real stars of the show are fresh deserts from local skuta (ricotta/ziger/albumin).

Wonderful family farm and restaurant. Very reasonably priced with delicious food, cheese, local wine and some of the best goulash with homemade pasta I’ve ever had. The service was wonderful too! Buy some cheese or jams to take with you. Would highly recommend!!
