The restaurant is family owned and driven, you can feel that within every inch of it. The friendliness and welcoming by the owners have you feel like home. The food couldn‘t be more authentic, local and delicious. We started off with the fish tartare and the homemade (fresh made à la minute‘) breads. I myself dont like to eat fish in public cause of the ‚mess‘ I am creating, but Mate offers the best solution if you‘re a fish lover: Moliće! Open them by hand, take out the fish bone in one steady pull and you‘re good to eat. They are delicious and come along potatoes and chard. Finishing off with the famous Palatschinka.. I was overwhelmed by the hospitality, authenticity and friendliness. Make sure you have a reservation and enjoy! I will be back for sure :)"

We had marinated sardines as a starter, and they were served fresh oven baked bread. As main course we shared the fish platter for two and it was amazing. Really good quality and taste for a great value, not overpriced compared to other restaurants. You can even watch them prepare all your food on the grill. On top of the tasty food the atmosphere is really nice, the owners are charming and we even got a drink and a delicious chocolate cake for free. All in all a great experience and definitely worth a 5 minute walk along the pier of Murter, way better than anything we saw in the very center."

That's actually a good thing, everything is freshly made. They gave some free bread as well as desert. The receipt for two meals and two drinks was 198 KN. Menu mentioned service is included (we still tipped). Due to trying to eat in low season this restaurant wasn't our first nor second choice. But damn, really great food!! Really glad we ended up here. PS: Food looks simple. Don't be fooled by that, it's really nice. Even liked the fries."

Food was very delicious and well flavoured. The atmosphere is very cozy. Just be ready that it is a bit hot in the terrace, an extra fan would be nice. We will be happy to come back. It is one of few restaurants where you really get a good feeling and happy to pay for food and give extra tip."
