This dark local tavern is tucked away on a street just east of the main harbor. The entrance is fronted by a stand-up chalkboard with a few specials scribbled on it. The front room is the bar, which really makes you feel like you are in a European tavern. You can sit in a booth inside, or sit outside on the cramped back porch. The lunchtime crowd of local businessmen gravitates to this area, as they enjoy drinking, smoking, and yakking with the friendly hostess. The nondescript views overlook a parking lot and construction sites, so it is the food that matters here. The dinnertime crowd is definitely more subdued, and the porch area is very dimly lit in the evening.

It was a bit surprising to see a menu in several languages, including English. One of the lunch specials was "teletina ispod peka", which is basically a traditional plate of juicy roast pork with beans and cabbage. It is a very typical entree on the Balkan menu, although it may go under different names depending on the country. The gulas is basically a local version of the more-famous Hungarian goulash. It is a rich stew of fatty meats served with boiled potatoes in brown gravy. These hearty dishes were preceded by a basket of bread. There is a small charge for the bread, so I would assume that if you refused it, your tab would be a few kuna cheaper. As it is, the meals are good and reasonably priced here.

The menu is fairly extensive if you like meaty dishes, veal and beef and pork. Vegetarians may be stuck with the spaghetti or a salad.
