We've been in Fažana in summer 2016 and found this little gem by accident. In late July 2024 we visited Fažana again and were so happy to see her again! This very nice elderly woman is making the best Palacinke (like crepes) in the world! We've been to two dozens restaurants in our past holidays in Istria and not one made them as good as her! The food hut is open in the evening and often you have to wait a while to get your custom palacinke, but it's worth the wait! Prices are low, quality is great and the entertainment even better when you chat a little bit with her. There are several reviews of her and the "Palačinke UM52" in the near, but until now no one tagged her right or created a profile for her. Until now! Please visit her, try this delicious Croatian treat and leave her some 5 star reviews!

Nice place, but based on our first — and only — experience last week, they seem to try to overcharge customers. We ordered three meals, a coffee, a Coke, a limoncello, a bottle of water, and one glass of wine. When the receipt arrived, although it listed our correct items, it also included several things we never ordered — including an expensive fish dish, a full bottle of wine we didn’t have, and some extra drinks. The total was €260. I complained, but instead of an apology or any reasonable explanation, the manager simply told me to point out the items we hadn’t ordered so he could remove them. They corrected the bill, which then came to €90. I do not appreciate being treated this way, and I strongly recommend checking your bill carefully if you visit this place. I still can’t say for sure whether this was an unintentional mistake or a deliberate attempt to overcharge, but adding €160 to a bill under €100 is hard to miss. If it was a mistake, the least they could have done was offer a sincere apology and show some courtesy.

Went twice in short span,staff service was on the ball, great effort from them. Food was great, selection is pretty wide from pizza to fish and meat dishes. Salads also available.. desserts seasonal which is understandable although maybe an addition of fish platter for two to the menu would be great since we are on the coast. Small oversight from the kitchen staff on the second visit, table for 7 and one meal was missed/ not ready since they read the order wrong (1x instead of 2x) hence 4 stars. Recommend in any case.

Konoba Ulika is such a gem near Pula! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. We started with the fish platter which was absolutely delicious, fresh and beautifully prepared. Don’t miss trying their local olive oil with bread, it’s delicious… but pace yourself because the mains come in huge portions. We couldn’t finish everything, but they kindly wrapped it all up for us and we had a second meal for dinner. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Stara konoba is precisely what you want on the Fažana waterfront. Warm interiors, a proper old-school feel, and an atmosphere that makes you forget your phone exists. We went straight into the classics. Fried calamari and fried girice (sprats); crisp, hot, and clean. Lemon cuts it, tartar finishes it. The potato wedges were exactly right, that golden edge, soft center, no drama. Then the octopus stew showed up and changed the pace. Dark, rich, real. The kind of dish that feels like it has been made a thousand times and finally got it perfect. The house bread deserves its own sentence. Lovely. Soft, warm, and gone fast. Prices felt fair, and the service had character in the best way: sharp, present, and human. Everything we ate was good. This is a place you come back to because it feels like Fažana, not because someone sold you a fantasy.

A proper konoba done right. The service is genuinely friendly without trying too hard, and the whole place keeps that authentic, local feel—just polished enough to feel a bit upscale, but never losing the charm. The open fireplace where they cook adds a whole extra layer of atmosphere; you smell and see the food being made, and it sets the tone immediately. The meat dishes are the star: perfectly cooked, full of flavour, exactly what you hope for from a konoba that actually knows what it’s doing. If you want great food, warm service, and a place that feels real rather than tourist-designed, this is it. I’d happily come back.

My parents decided to treat my wife and me to dinner for our wedding anniversary, and after they found out that we were planning to go to this restaurant, they called the restaurant and asked us to pay later online for everything we would eat, and the restaurant staff immediately agreed and surprised us upon arrival by explaining that our dinner had been paid for and that they wished us a happy wedding anniversary. Such an approach to guests and trust is not seen every day. Every compliment and recommendation for the restaurant! The food is fantastic, the ambiance is unforgettable, and the service is world-class. Thanks again and we will definitely be back.

Really good and tasty food comparing with the other places located in the resort center. Indeed you need to wait more to get your order but this is because it's a family restaurant and they do all the cooking and serving. We avoid this place due to the Google ratings, but after we decided to give it a try we regret it that we didn't went earlier. If you have time and your not in a hurry please give it a try!

The food was homemade and was generally tasty, although don't expect anything too special. Service was amateur as well but I appreciated the work, the waiters were friendly and tries and efforts of selling what they offer were visible. All seemed to be managed as an amateur family business but with effort and love. Great place if you want to get a taste of what Croatian families' weekend grills probably look like.

Here is your restaurant review translated into English: ⸻ My impressions are very mixed. We visited this restaurant twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. The dinner was nice — the waiter was attentive and thorough. One downside was that although we chose a fresh fish for dinner, we were served a larger piece than expected, which we struggled to finish. It was clear the restaurant was trying to increase the bill by selling a more expensive fish. However, since we were very satisfied with the fresh oysters, langoustines, and the recommended wine, we let it slide. The recommended cigar, however, was a disappointment — I should have ignored the suggestion and gone with something I knew. The bill was higher than expected (over €250 for two people), but overall, we were quite happy. The problem came during our second visit. The waiter was very poor — he didn’t bring moist wipes or claw crackers for the langoustines, and when I asked for them, he forgot to bring a fork. He was also aggressively pushing fresh fish, and we chose a plaice. During the filleting, the waiter was clearly inexperienced, and we ended up with fish pieces on our plates that looked like they came from a can. The portion was just enough for two, and I expected the price to be in line with other places (around €60). I was surprised to see that we were charged €126 for that small, messy portion of fish. Their tiramisu (the second worst I’ve had in Fažana) didn’t impress either. When I diplomatically mentioned we didn’t enjoy it, I got a curt response that “it’s different because it’s homemade.” Well, I make homemade tiramisu too — and it’s in a different league. The final bill of €222 for lunch for two (we only had wine by the glass, not a bottle) was both a surprise and a disappointment. In my opinion, this was another fish scam — no prior information about the price, which was completely out of line with the standard. I seriously do not recommend this place.

We first discovered this 15 years ago. At first glance you would just drive straight past. But this is a real gem. It's modernised but kept its traditional feel. It's a fishing harbour canteen. Serving real catch of the day. Great tasting fish served on a bed of potatoes and wilted spinach. Not the only dish but certainly one to note. It might look like a cheap place but it's not. Bottle water is about 30kn. So is beer. But tap water is drinkable, so if you want to budget ask!!

Great restaurant, big, nice staff, clean and great food! I had pizza, pizza bread and mussels there and would come again. The price for the pizza is OK, but for everything else I think it's actually a bit overpriced, especially the mussels. The don't offer any sides with the mussels so I paid 26€ with a small coke.

We returned in September 2025, and while we were unable to stay on property, the food, service, and atmosphere had not changed at all. The food was exceptionally good, and our kids enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor play areas. This remains one of our must visit restaurants in Croatia, even as we spent over 1200km touring the country. Please, never change. Hvala vam na svemu!
