Barba Ive and his konoba
We show you the fish before it goes on the grill, we bake octopus and lamb under the peka, and the wine comes from neighbours in the Šibenik hinterland. Come hungry and unhurried: a table by the sea is yours for as long as you like.
Menu and wine list
We cook what the sea brings and the island grows. Fish is sold by the kilo and shown to you before it is cooked; peka dishes must be ordered a day ahead.

What our guests say
“We arrived by boat and tied up right in front of the konoba. The grilled fish was caught that morning and Barba Ive showed it to us before cooking it. Simple, honest and delicious.”
“Order it the day before, as they ask. Tender, smoky octopus with potatoes, cooked under an iron bell in the embers. A table on the terrace by the water at sunset was unbeatable.”
“The whole family works here: grandad chooses the fish, his daughter cooks and the grandson looks after the terrace. The black risotto was outstanding and our kids loved the fritule.”
“Prava konoba, bez pretjerivanja. Pašticada kakvu je radila baka, a vino iz bačve vrlo pitko. Parkirati se može iznad sela, do konobe je pet minuta pješice.”
“Wir hatten online einen Tisch auf der Terrasse reserviert, sogar auf Deutsch, und alles hat geklappt. Ohne Reservierung hätten wir keinen Platz bekommen. Der Fisch wird nach Kilopreis abgerechnet, einfach vorher nach dem Preis fragen.”
“Nedjeljna peka je obilna i povoljna, janjetina mekana, a fritule tople. Oko dva popodne zna biti gužva, pa rezervirajte stol na terasi.”
