Always Fresh
Authentic Atmosphere
Wooden tables, vintage decor, and the smell of grilled fish — every detail tells a story. On Fridays, the music turns dinner into a feast.
Traditional Menu
Octopus on the grill, pašticada, fresh sardines or wild greens — our menu celebrates the flavors of Dalmatia, just like nonna made them.

Our Culinary Philosophy
On our menu, you'll find exactly what you'd hope for: grilled octopus, lamb with baby potatoes, fried calamari, sardines, red mullet, daily fresh fish, and a pašticada made from a recipe that would likely be forgotten — if we hadn’t preserved it here.
But what you won’t see written on the menu is what you’ll feel right away — the atmosphere. It’s when our staff welcomes you like an old friend. When Friday night music turns dinner into a local feast. When a traveler realizes they’ve stumbled upon the real thing. When Dalmatia shows its true face.
Konoba Stomorica knows its role. We’re not a trend or a pin on a tourist food map. We’re here to remind people how food was once made in Dalmatia — and how it still can be, with respect for tradition and a pinch of wisdom.
In season, tables are hard to come by. Not because of advertising, but because of feeling. People recognize the truth when it’s served on a plate.

While spending time in Zadar, we had the pleasure of dining at a charming local restaurant. We went for a seafood platter that featured squid, tuna, and sea bass. The sea bass in particular stood out – incredibly tasty and perfectly prepared. The restaurant had a laid-back and welcoming vibe, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a good meal. The staff were very attentive and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. The menu was diverse and offered plenty of choices, so there’s something to suit every taste. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Zadar and looking for quality food in a comfortable setting.
