“ Excellent food, place and especially excellent staff. We were a large group, but few of us arrived to the restaurant by small boat, we parked directly in the restaurant as it has an entrance directly from the sea. We ordered lobsters in few different flavors and it was perfection. For the wine, my recommendation is Vugava, a local white wine. Overall, if you are in Komiza, definitely an recommendation. ”

“ Konoba Jastožera is one of those rare culinary spots where everything comes together perfectly: the location, the atmosphere, the quality of the ingredients, and the way they’re prepared. Perched directly over the water, the restaurant offers a unique setting — we were seated by an open window with the sea just below us, creating an unforgettable ambiance. The gentle sound of the waves and the salty breeze made the whole experience immersive and truly Dalmatian. The food? Outstanding. I had grilled squid and lobster, and they were among the best I’ve ever tasted. The squid were perfectly charred on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside — full of flavor, with just the right touch of smokiness from the grill. The lobster was a highlight: freshly caught from a cage right beside the restaurant. You can literally pick the one you want, making the whole experience both personal and authentic. Grilled to perfection, it was rich, succulent, and bursting with natural sweetness — a far cry from the overcooked lobster you sometimes get elsewhere. You can tell this place doesn’t just aim to feed tourists; it’s run with heart, tradition, and respect for the sea. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy truly fresh seafood in a setting that feels magical, Konoba Jastožera is absolutely worth the trip. A 10/10 experience — both on the plate and all around it. The service could be more authentic to the place make more story around and tell all those ”
