Konoba Kalalarga is located on the main city square called Trg Kraljevac. The interior is decorated in a traditional Dalmatian style, stoned walls and wooden furniture. The whole interior is decorated with toolls which used to served for agriculture or in the kitchen.
Favorite Dish: I suggest you cheese from island of Pag and Dalmatian prosciutto for the first dish. As for second dish, do not missed traditional "pašticada" with gnocchi (njoki in croatian). Don't ask me for translation because am not able to do it, but trust to my suggestion bacause pašticada is delicious. Red wine goes along with this dish.
All included will cost you bellow 100 kunas.

There is small but very cute souvenier shop on the main square, can't be missed. In front of it stands fisherman boat and of top of it there is a small organ which equally attract both childern and their parents. If pressing one of the keys lovely melody starts playing.
The shop offers nice souveniers made by the local craftsmen and very attractive postcards of the nearby salt-pan and Sabunike beach taken frim the air.
