Konobas on Krk

18 konobas across the island — the family tavern that is the traditional Croatian way to eat, and not the same thing as a restaurant.

A konoba is not a restaurant with a different name. It is the family tavern: a short menu, usually whatever the household cooks well, often the same dishes their grandparents made. Many were literally the cellar of the house before they had tables in them.

Eighteen of them are listed here across Malinska, Punat and Omišalj. Malinska has nine, the most of any municipality, and several of those are inland rather than on the coast.

What you can expect from the form rather than from any particular place: grilled fish and lamb, homemade pasta, house wine by the jug, and no great interest in menus in four languages. Several open only for dinner, and several close entirely outside the season.

These are drawn from the tourist boards' own listings, so the count reflects what the boards publish rather than every konoba on the island.
