Great little spot. I can see people in the neighbouring bars and want to tell them to come here instead. Fantastic food, simple, fresh ingredients. Very reasonably priced. Waiter was really nice, appreciated our minimal attempt at speaking Croatian.

Nice place by the sea if you want to have a beer or coffee after swim. Just like coming here. The staff is young, polite and energetic.
