Krk Island


Set well back from the seafront at the top of the old town, this atmospheric stone building looks slightly gloomy from the street, but the convivial, timber-rich dining room opens onto a lovely internal garden. It's part traditional konoba (tavern), part pizzeria, serving anything from a cheap margarita to fish platters for two.
