The best restaurants Kornat

In the south of the island, Opat Bay is one of the archipelago's best-known maritime entrances. On the harbor, the restaurant's terrace looks out over the sea and the islands opposite. Mooring berths are available for guests (at an extra charge). Here you can order cold drinks, with or without alcohol, Croatian beers and white wines. A catering service is available, but there are no menus and the bill is very high. Fisherman's cuisine, of course: grilled scorpion fish with baked potatoes, lobster, carpaccio of the day's fish, sushi, gratins.

The restaurant was built in an old private house in Vrulje, the largest fishing village in the Kornati, where even today there are only about 50 houses. The owner is known throughout the archipelago as a good octopus fisherman and cook. His specialties include octopus in goulash or Venetian style, fresh fish carpaccio, Dalmatian plate (smoked ham and goat's cheese) and grilled meats. As is often the case on the islands, prices are much higher than on the mainland.

On the bay of Vrulje, where anchoring is easy, the konoba has changed. The owners have transformed it from a fisherman's tavern into an upscale global concept. A café lounge with a terrace, deckchairs and canopies on duckboards, all facing the pontoon and private jetty for mooring boats. The bar menu features a selection of cocktails, wines and champagne, while the restaurant focuses on revisited seafood cuisine. For your stay, deluxe, double and quadruple rooms and boat rentals are available.
