Konoba Zijavica

The sea takes centre stage at this welcoming restaurant in a delightful fishing village, both on the plate and in its location just a stone’s throw from the water. In the dining room, guests can admire the chef at work in the tiny open-view kitchen, while the restaurant’s veranda overlooking the sea with the waves lapping the shore is a real gem. The focus here is personalised fish cuisine, where the main ingredient is the star of the show. Be patient if something is missing from the menu – the fish on offer here depends very much on the season and local fishermen’s catch of the day. Simple yet delicious recipes are to the fore, including raw fish dishes, pasta, and fish and shellfish priced by weight – a real paradise for fresh fish enthusiasts. As for Mošćenička Draga itself, this is the perfect location for lazing on the beach or cycling in the surrounding hills.
