“ During our stay on the beautiful Pelješac, we had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional seafood restaurant in the charming village of Trstenik — and it was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, whose professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made the experience even more memorable. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish we tried — from the freshly caught grilled fish to the perfectly prepared seafood pasta and risotto — was bursting with authentic Adriatic flavor. The ingredients were clearly fresh and locally sourced, and everything was cooked to perfection. The setting is equally wonderful: relaxed, elegant, and with a lovely view of the harbor. Whether you’re a seafood lover or simply someone who appreciates quality cuisine and genuine hospitality, this place is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended — we can’t wait to return! ”
“ Definitely our favourite place to have lunch at Pelješac peninsula. For all guests that love sea food, this place is a must visit! One of our favourite dishes is their fish platter. The staff is super friendly and super professional. All recommendations!!! ”
“ We have a fantastic dining experience! The fried oysters were excellent — perfectly crispy on the outside, yet tender inside, and you could really taste the sea, which I truly appreciate. The grilled amberjack was also superb, cooked just right and full of flavor. But the highlight of the meal, and an absolute must-try, was the shrimp carpaccio — it was phenomenal. Delicate, fresh, and bursting with flavor, it was easily the best dish of the night. ”
“ One of the best dining experiences we had during our two weeks in Croatia. The food was so fresh and so deliciously prepared, you can tell they really take pride in the food. The seafood is amazing and the best value we found. We started with the homemade tuna spread with homemade grilled bread, it was a delicious surprise and reminded us of ono salad because the quality of the tuna was so top. We also shared a bowl of fish soup to warm up, the broth was delicate and very good. Then we devoured the fish plate for two- our server gave us a tour of the kitchen and the wood grill in the back where our seafood was being prepared. We had two sea bream, two sea bass, two calamari, two pieces of fresh tuna, and two prawns served with some grilled vegetables, fried mussels, marinated shrimp and octopus salad. Washed it all down with a bottle of local Grgic wine and ended with the delectable lava cake. 12/10 highly recommended for an unforgettable dinner! ”
