Konoba Lanterna is a small tavern on Kralja Nikole in the old centre of Podgorica. A konoba is a particular thing along this coast and its hinterland — the traditional Adriatic eating house, historically the room where wine was kept — and the word sets the expectation better than the English "restaurant" would. The house describes itself plainly and does not oversell: a small and pretty konoba in the middle of the city, an interior of stone and wood, attentive staff and traditional cooking. Those three together are what a konoba is meant to be, and the room is honest about being small. Two practical things. Tables can be reserved through the restaurant's own site, which matters in a room of this size. And the kitchen delivers food and drink to any address in the Podgorica area, which is unusual for a traditional house and useful if you are staying outside the centre. It opens every day from midday to eleven at night, straight through, with no closing day. Kralja Nikole is one of the main streets of the newer town, running south-west from the centre and walkable from the old quarter across the Morača. It is named after Nikola I, the last king of Montenegro, and it is one of the arteries the city grew along after the war, so the address puts the konoba among shops and offices rather than in the tourist streets — which is generally where the cooking is better. You will find Konoba Lanterna at Kralja Nikole 36, 81000 Podgorica.

Biskupa Fosca 11, 22000 Šibenik

+38522661269

Konoba Nostalgija is a family restaurant at Biskupa Fosca 11 in Šibenik. Established in 2011, it connects its identity with the work of the farmer and fisherman. The format is a meal of at least two courses per person, making it a place to give some time to rather than planning around a single quick plate. The compact menu is divided into cold dishes, warm dishes and dessert. Cold choices include cheese, liver with pickled onion, smoked mussels with cucumber, salted anchovies with tomato and a dried-tomato pâté. These combinations put a small number of ingredients at the centre of each dish and offer several different ways to begin. Warm dishes continue the same direct approach. The menu lists prawns with courgette, sea bass with pumpkin, veal with tomato sauce and bacon with polenta. Gnocchi with crumbs and ćevap with sweet potato provide further choices. For dessert, Bajadera and figs prepared with alcohol are listed. Ask the team which dishes are available for your visit and how best to arrange the courses around your appetite. Nostalgija's family background and Mediterranean focus are also described in Šibenik's official visitor guide. For planning, use the restaurant's Biskupa Fosca address and contact it directly about service times and a table. Mention dietary requirements before choosing: the restaurant directs guests to staff for ingredient and allergen information. Its course-based format is particularly useful to understand when arranging dinner for a group.

Mandrač 12, 52466 Novigrad

+38552730398

Konoba Parangal stands beside Novigrad's mandrač, the small old harbour where boats remain part of the view. This family tavern has been here since 2016, with tables outside beneath old olive trees and shade sails. Its name comes from a traditional fishing line with smaller hooked lines attached along it, a fitting connection to the seafood on the menu. The kitchen prepares fish from the grill, baked in salt or in buzara sauce, with chard and potatoes alongside. Mussels, scallops, scampi and lobster also appear in buzara, the Adriatic preparation based on white wine, garlic and parsley. A house fish platter and mixed fried fish are intended for two people. Meat dishes broaden the choice beyond the catch. Beef steak, Istrian pork loin, skewers, pork ribs, ćevapi and pljeskavica are among the grilled options. Pasta includes fuži with truffles and prosciutto, as well as gnocchi, spaghetti and tagliatelle. Diners choosing dishes without meat or fish can look to four-cheese gnocchi, vegetable spaghetti, breaded mushrooms, grilled vegetables and salads. Istrian wines include bottles from Kozlović, Kabola and Deklić. The harbour setting and the broad menu make the experience that of a traditional konoba, with familiar regional dishes and room to choose between land and sea. Tables can be arranged by phone, which is especially useful during the busy season. Inside, old photographs of Novigrad and windows facing the harbour continue the connection between the dining room and the town outside.

Drage 2, 23247 Vinjerac

+38523275069

Mon Closed; Tue–Sun 16:00–23:00

Konoba Pece brings together a handmade stone setting and a seafood kitchen in Vinjerac, a fishing village on the Velebit Channel. The restaurant grew from its owner's ambition to create a tavern of his own after traveling and exploring different food cultures. Working with his wife, he collected and carved stone and built the restaurant himself. That personal involvement continues in the kitchen, where local fishermen supply catches that shape the cooking. Dalmatian ingredients provide the foundation, while Spanish food encountered during the chef's travels contributes another strand to the menu. Cold starters include Vinjerac prosciutto, Pag cheese, octopus salad, fish pâté and several preparations of carpaccio. Warm dishes move through cuttlefish black risotto, seafood spaghetti and fisherman's stew, alongside shrimp with mustard seed sauce or chickpeas. The main courses give considerable space to shellfish, squid and octopus. Mussels and scampi come in buzara preparations, while octopus can be grilled or stuffed with prosciutto and cheese. Other combinations include squid filled with cheese, cuttlefish with pancetta and cheese, and shrimp grilled with honey. John Dory, red scorpionfish and anglerfish also appear among the fish dishes. A fisherman's platter is offered for two people. Desserts take a different direction, with grilled figs, apricot wrapped in pastry dough and other pastry selections. Guests can choose between the tavern interior and its stone terrace. Reservations can be requested through a form, with confirmation sent by email, or discussed directly by telephone.

Krnički porat 139, 52208 Krnica

+38552556245

PortoRiko stands on the waterfront at Krnički porat, the small fishing harbor below Krnica. Its family history begins in 1968, when the restaurant opened as K ribaru. The name changed in 2016 to honor Riko, the proprietor's father. Fishing remains central to the setting: the quay is where local fishermen bring in fish and Kvarner scampi, and the restaurant looks directly toward the sea. A large parking area is also located on the waterfront. The kitchen concentrates on straightforward seafood dishes, with a menu that allows guests to build a meal around fish, shellfish or pasta. Cold starters include seafood salad, marinated anchovy fillets and salted anchovies with olives in olive oil. Istrian prosciutto, sheep cheese and cheese with black truffles bring flavors from inland Istria to the same table. Fish soup leads into warm dishes such as seafood risotto, spaghetti with scampi and green tagliatelle with prosciutto and shrimp. The fish section lists grilled sea bream, sea bass, dentex and sole, alongside tuna steak and a fish platter. Scampi can be grilled or cooked in a wine sauce, while squid appears grilled, fried or stuffed. Mussels and scallops extend the shellfish selection. Guests choosing meat can order grilled steak, pork cutlets or an Istrian steak with mushrooms. Boiled potatoes with Swiss chard and grilled vegetables are among the accompaniments. Pancakes, panna cotta and ice cream complete the menu. Reservations are handled directly by telephone.

Jadranska magistrala (E65), 85338 Kostanjica

+38232783669

Mon–Sun 12:00–22:00

Konoba Ribar - "the fisherman's tavern" - sits on the coast road between Morinj and Perast, with its terrace built out over the water of the inner bay and the two islands of Perast straight ahead. It is the plain, good kind of Boka seafood place: black risotto, grilled fish by weight, prawns, fried squid, breaded mussels, octopus, a fish soup to start, and a few pasta and vegetarian plates for the rest of the table. The kitchen is open every day from midday to ten in the evening, which makes it easy to fit around a boat trip or a swim from the rocks below. From Morinj it is a few minutes by car or a walk along the shore. A table at the edge of the terrace is worth asking for.

Ulica biskupa Draga 3, 51280 Rab

+38551725887

Mon–Sun 10:00–00:00

Konoba Riva has welcomed diners in Rab's old town since 1998. Traditional coastal cooking, a terrace and the surrounding stone streets give it a clear island setting. Its fairly broad menu makes it a useful option when a group wants seafood, grilled meat and a few straightforward vegetarian choices at the same table. For fish lovers, the Riva platter combines fish, squid and prawns for two people. Individual dishes range from sea-bass or sea-bream fillets with chard to grilled tuna, mussels buzara-style and squid risotto. Seafood spaghetti is another option, while octopus prepared with tomatoes and spices offers a different texture and sauce. Starters include octopus carpaccio, salted fish, Dalmatian ham and Pag sheep's cheese. The menu also has a dedicated vegetarian section with vegetable risotto, tomato pasta and fried courgettes. Children have smaller chicken, pasta and grilled-meat dishes. Those choosing meat can look towards grilled skewers, steak or a mixed platter. Rab cake, walnut pancakes and ice cream are among the desserts, so there are several ways to finish without ordering the same thing around the table. Reservations are taken by telephone, which is also the route for discussing the restaurant's food delivery to the marina. That service may suit guests spending the evening aboard a boat; confirm the delivery point and timing when ordering. Diners visiting in person should use Ulica biskupa Draga 3. Card payment is accepted, and the published daily hours run from late morning to midnight.

Vinska cesta 2, 51250 Novi Vinodolski

+38551248888

Tue–Sun 11:00–22:00; Mon Closed

Konoba Studec on Vinska cesta offers a different side of Novi Vinodolski's cooking from the waterfront seafood restaurants. The menu gives space to Vinodol specialities, grilled meat and dishes cooked under the peka, alongside fish and pasta. It is a useful destination for a meal that introduces the flavours of the nearby hinterland. Start with local-style soup or one of the cold platters, then consider the Bribir makaruni, traditional pasta also offered with truffle sauce. Vinodol minestrone comes with sausage or dried meat, while venison stew provides another hearty option. The grill includes beef, turkey and pork, with distinctive combinations such as pork tenderloin filled with pancetta, cheese and dried figs. Some of Studec's most substantial dishes need planning. Octopus under the peka, spit-roasted lamb and pork, and meat baked with potatoes are listed for advance orders; the meat peka choices carry a minimum of four people. For a spontaneous visit, the regular menu also includes grilled sea bass, bream, squid and a fish platter for two. Vegetarian diners can choose a plate of vegetables with egg and fried cheese, while children have smaller meat dishes or cheese gnocchi. A heated terrace, parking and a children's corner make the restaurant convenient for a family outing. Dogs are welcome, and reservations can be made online or by telephone. When booking a peka meal, agree the dish, number of diners and preparation time directly with the restaurant.

Obala dr. Franje Tuđmana 3, 22000 Šibenik

+38522219254

Konoba Tomaseo is on Obala dr. Franje Tuđmana, with a terrace overlooking the water in Šibenik. The restaurant presents its cooking as Croatian and Mediterranean, with fish, meat and pasta across the menu. Outdoor tables and an air-conditioned interior give diners a choice of setting for lunch or dinner, depending on the weather and the pace of the day. Seafood appears from the start of the meal. The menu published by the restaurant includes octopus salad, shrimp pâté, marinated anchovies, tuna tartare and sea-bass carpaccio. Warm dishes include black cuttlefish risotto and Adriatic shrimp risotto. Homemade pasta also features, with spinach-and-curd ravioli and fuži paired with black truffle among the listed combinations. For a main course, the fish section offers grilled fish, squid, tuna steak and scampi. Monkfish with homemade fuži provides another preparation beyond the grill. The meat selection includes beef stew with gnocchi, grilled lamb, veal and several steak dishes, so a group can choose quite different meals without splitting between restaurants. Ask the kitchen which fish and pasta preparations are available on the day. Tomaseo takes reservations by telephone and email and also offers food to take away. Wi-Fi is listed among its facilities. Its published hours extend from late morning into the night, but it is sensible to confirm kitchen service when planning a late meal. When enquiring, mention whether you want a terrace table, indoor seating or a takeaway collection.

Orihi 58, 52207 Barban

+385992294300

Konoba Vorichi stands at the edge of Orihi, a village in the municipality of Barban, with greenery and vineyards around the restaurant. Its name preserves an older name for the village, and the tavern first welcomed guests in 2013. The kitchen combines Istrian traditions with contemporary preparation, drawing on produce from nearby farms and a family tradition of making bread and pasta by hand. Sourdough, focaccia and grissini introduce a menu in which familiar regional ingredients appear in varied combinations. The off-season selection includes local cured meats, a cheese platter with ricotta and cow’s and goat’s cheeses, beef tartare and a cold fish platter. Pasta choices range from fuži with truffles to ravioli with cheese, hazelnut and pancetta. Cheese-filled gnocchi come with saffron, sage and almond, while the risotto combines cod with spicy sausage. Maneštra brings together prosciutto, corn, beans and barley in an Istrian stew. Larger dishes include pork loin with leek and parsnip cream, smoked brisket with root vegetables, steaks and fish fillet. Desserts continue the kitchen’s interest in unexpected pairings: puff pastry with hazelnut and mascarpone creams, a chocolate tart, and rice with truffle ice cream and crumble. The wine selection accompanies views towards Malvasia vines. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are available, and dogs are welcome indoors and outside under their owners’ supervision. Children have a garden and vineyard area to explore. Parking is beside the tavern, and the team also arranges family celebrations and business gatherings. Advance reservations are recommended, particularly for weekends and the tourist season.

Dobrinj 71, 51514 Dobrinj

+38551848250

Konoba Zora is in the heart of Dobrinj, where the island's inland streets and old stone surroundings provide a different setting from the coastal resorts. The tavern traces its beginnings to an inn opened by Nikola Fugošić in 1947. Two years later, his son Nikola married the cook Zora, and the couple took over the business. Her name became the restaurant's name, and her work helped make the island's šurlice familiar beyond Krk. Handmade pasta remains the clearest introduction to the kitchen. The house recommends šurlice with goulash, alongside Dobrinj makaruni and gnocchi with the same hearty accompaniment. Another preparation pairs šurlice with a scampi sauce, connecting the inland tavern's pasta tradition with the surrounding Adriatic. These dishes make the restaurant particularly relevant to visitors who want to explore the food associated with the island itself. For dessert, the house prepares presnoc, a traditional island sweet made with local sheep's cheese. The kitchen describes following an old recipe as a way of respecting the past. That attention to continuity links the dessert to the family history behind the restaurant. Stone walls and wooden benches contribute to the atmosphere described by the house. A meal here can be combined with a walk through Dobrinj's narrow streets and a visit to the church of Saint Stephen. Table requests go through a reservation form or the restaurant's telephone, so guests can arrange their visit directly before setting out from Malinska.

Krnica 11, 52208 Krnica

+385993414133

Konoba da Rocco is a family tavern in Krnica, where stone walls, natural building materials and an interior furnished in an older style frame a kitchen devoted to Istrian recipes. Chef and owner Manuel Vlačić cooks at the central hearth, while Loreta welcomes guests. The family presents the restaurant as a place for unhurried meals together, with cooking inherited from earlier generations. Fish and meat are prepared on a traditional gradele grill in front of diners, using the house's own olive oil. Local suppliers provide ingredients, and the seafood comes from wild fish caught by local fishermen. Handmade pasta is another foundation of the kitchen: fuži, pljukanci, gnocchi and ravioli are prepared on the premises and paired with sauces made from boškarin beef, game or rooster. The menu also reaches into the surrounding countryside through lamb from local family farms. It can be cooked in a pan with herbs, including wild sage, or beneath a traditional baking bell. Dry aged ribeye and Florentine style steaks offer another direction for guests interested in meat. The house's featured dishes include seafood risotto, cuttlefish with polenta and osso buco with Milanese risotto, followed by desserts such as lava cake. Wines come from Istrian cellars, and the tavern also serves istarska supa, a traditional preparation of red wine, olive oil, spices and toasted bread in an earthenware jug. Children have a separate menu with smaller portions. Tables can be reserved directly by telephone.

Nikice Gundić 2A, 23242 Posedarje

+385992138107

Konoba Čapa is a tavern on Nikice Gundić in Posedarje, a Dalmatian coastal village beside the Novigrad Sea. Its cooking brings together fresh ingredients, seasonal fish and olive oil from its own mill. During summer, fresh fish is displayed for guests to choose, giving seafood a clear place in the restaurant’s identity. The approach connects naturally with a town where fishing, local food and the production of cured ham remain part of everyday tradition. Breakfast choices include ham with eggs, a cheese omelette, butter and marmalade, freshly baked croissants, and a combination of prosciutto, pancetta, egg and cheese. Lunch and dinner are also part of the offer, with wine available alongside the meal. Outdoor seating provides another way to enjoy the tavern, and takeaway is available for those who prefer to eat elsewhere. The surrounding region has a food culture shaped by the sea and the nearby countryside. Mussels, fish, sheep’s cheese, olive oil and locally produced wine feature in its culinary traditions, while Posedarje is particularly associated with Dalmatian prosciutto. That setting gives context to Čapa’s emphasis on familiar local flavors and its own olive oil. Private celebrations can be arranged with service adapted to the occasion. Practical facilities include parking and free Wi-Fi, pets are welcome, and payment options include cash and cards. The combination suits both an ordinary meal and a gathering organized around a special occasion.

Obala kralja Petra Krešimira IV 6, 51280 Rab

+38551724183

Šanpjer combines a family fish shop and a seafood tavern on Rab's waterfront promenade. The restaurant began welcoming guests in 1997, and the connection between the fish counter and the kitchen remains central to its identity. Wooden tables and benches sit outside beneath an awning and palms, placing the meal alongside the activity of the old-town harbour. Fish and shellfish guide the menu. Grilled sea bass or sea bream, fried or grilled squid, scampi and mussels offer several ways to build a seafood lunch. The house Šanpjer platter is designed for two, bringing fish, squid, scampi and shellfish together with chard and potatoes. It is a useful order when two diners want to share a broader selection. There are also seafood pastas, fish soup and risottos, including a black risotto. Smaller starters such as marinated anchovies offer another route into the meal before a main course. To finish, the menu includes Rab cake, ice cream and pancakes with sweet fillings. Ask which fish and shellfish are available on the day before deciding on a particular plate. The local tourism board lists a season from April through October, so check directly before visiting near either end of that period. It also identifies the venue as suitable for children and welcoming to dogs. A telephone reservation is sensible for a waterfront table, especially if you are planning the meal around an old-town outing.

ul. Kartuska 40, Garcz, 83-333 Chmielno

+48586842292

Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00

KrzewiRog is a karczma, a traditional country inn, on Kartuska street in Garcz, the village on the road between Chmielno and Kartuzy, close to Lake Łapalickie. The house says its recipes have been handed down from one generation to the next by the women of the Jóskowski family, and that most of its game and fish come from the Kashubian lakes and from farmers in the area. The menu is long and plainly regional. Starters include bread with lard and pickled cucumber, herring in cream, potato pancakes with sugar or sour cream, sour rye żurek served in a bread loaf with egg, and the house's own plińc, the Kashubian potato pancake. The soups run from clear beetroot barszcz and chicken rosół with noodles to tripe, a goulash bogracz, a cold summer chłodnik and swede soup cooked on goose. The chef recommends cabbage rolls, grandmother's beef roulade, pork tenderloin country style and duck leg with cranberries. There is a long list of pork and poultry, from breaded schnitzel and roast pork knuckle to tenderloin in honey and a Kashubian schnitzel. The fish come as baked local vendace, or as cod, trout, perch, pike perch and salmon. Pierogi are filled with cabbage and mushrooms, meat, cheese, potato or strawberries, and the meatless corner offers pancakes, kopytka potato dumplings and a vegetable skewer. Cake and ice cream close the meal. Next to the inn stands the newer Adamowo building, used for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and conferences, with guest rooms above the restaurant and a beach about a hundred metres away.

Kreuzeign 2, 94249 Bodenmais

+49 9924 9435592

Fri–Sun 11:00–18:00; Mon–Thu Closed

Kuhalm is a woodland inn at around eight hundred metres above sea level, between the Riederinfelsen, Kronberg and Harlachberg near Bodenmais. Its appeal starts with the approach: the house sits away from through traffic, on walking routes through the forest, and a visit naturally becomes part of an outing. The owners emphasize personal hospitality, mostly homemade food and ingredients bought from local partners with whom they maintain direct contact. In the beer garden, a Bavarian Brotzeit and a cool drink provide a straightforward pause after a walk or a bicycle ride. Indoors, the rooms have quite different characters. A small traditional Stüberl has a tiled stove and around ten seats. The larger winter garden looks through broad panoramic windows towards the beer garden and trees, with a wood stove and approximately thirty-four seats. It can accommodate family occasions such as birthdays, christenings and weddings. A third space, the former cowshed, retains its original vaulting and has a large table with a corner bench for about ten people, suited to a smaller gathering. Host Alex values conversation with visitors and sometimes brings out his accordion when there is time, adding a personal touch to the rural setting. Access deserves some planning: the forest road cannot be used by private vehicles. The inn directs visitors to park near the Ameisenweg and continue on foot, describing an approach of about half an hour. Walking routes numbered four and nine pass the house.

Bahnhofstraße 81, 83253 Rimsting

+49 8051 4049

Kurkuma occupies Rimsting's former station building on Bahnhofstraße, giving a distinctly Thai kitchen an unusual Bavarian home. Chef Biak specializes in food from southern Thailand, with herbs, aromatic roots and layered seasonings running through the menu. The dining room is decorated in a Thai style, but its substantial wooden tables and benches were made from local timber by the building's former owner, Hans Fritz. Outside, the beer garden sits beneath an old lime tree associated with King Ludwig II. The station itself recalls the king's journeys towards Herrenchiemsee, although the main reason to come today is the cooking. Vegetarian spring rolls combine glass noodles, cabbage, carrots and herbs with homemade dipping sauces. A southern Thai chicken and coconut soup uses turmeric, galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, while a sharper prawn soup brings chili paste and tamarind into the bowl. Salads provide another direction: green papaya with beans and nuts, marinated beef with herbs, or glass noodles with prawns and vegetables. These dishes show the kitchen's range without requiring every guest to choose the same balance of richness and heat. The intimate room has limited capacity, and advance reservations are strongly requested. Bookings should be made by telephone rather than email. The garden offers a different setting for the same restaurant when conditions suit an outdoor meal. Guests should also plan for cash payment, as neither credit nor debit cards are accepted. Dogs are not allowed inside the restaurant.

Cassen-Eilts-Pad 2, 26553 Dornumersiel

+49 4933 1744

Käthe & Karl brings a coastal fish restaurant into a former blacksmith's workshop beside the dyke in Dornumersiel. Astrid and Mark von der Ohe run the restaurant, whose name honours Astrid's parents. There is a terrace for warmer days and a fireplace setting for cooler evenings, giving this small corner of the coast two quite different ways to enjoy dinner. Fish is a strong part of the menu, but the selection is broader than seafood alone. The published menu includes a four-fillet fish plate, plaice with butter sauce, herb-topped pollock and salmon with pesto tagliatelle. An East Frisian schnitzel combines pork with North Sea shrimp and a fried egg. Seasonal dishes sit alongside these choices, so the exact selection can change during the year. Vegetarian and vegan diners have specific options rather than just side dishes. The kitchen offers a vegetable plate with potatoes, cashew cream and salad, and identifies suitable preparations that can be made vegan. Children have their own menu with smaller fish, chicken, pasta and schnitzel dishes. Discuss allergies with the team before ordering. This is primarily an evening address, with kitchen closing times earlier than the final restaurant closing time. Reservations are recommended and currently accepted up to 30 days ahead; call if you will be late, since tables may be released after 15 minutes. Dogs are welcome, card payments are accepted, and takeaway food is available in either reusable or disposable containers.

Friedrich-Wieck-Straße 26, 01326 Dresden

+49 351 2683620

Körnergarten is a traditional riverside inn on the Loschwitz side of the Blaues Wunder. It has operated since 1877, when the ferry landing outside gave it an earlier name, Gasthaus zur Fähre. The Buchbach family took over in 1997 and now runs it in a second generation. That history makes the location more than a convenient place to stop: the restaurant has remained here through the change from river ferry to road bridge. The food follows a modern Saxon direction, bringing established regional dishes together with changing ideas. Seasonal selections revolve around ingredients such as asparagus, young herring and chanterelles. The restaurant's menu is used indoors, on the terrace and in the beer garden, and includes separate sections for fish, vegetarian choices and children's dishes. Check the current selection rather than assuming a seasonal special is available all year. The large beer garden faces the Elbe, while the restaurant offers an indoor alternative. A riverside meal can fit naturally into a walk or cycle outing along the water. The house also organises special dining events and has an upstairs Elbzimmer for gatherings, so a regular table reservation and an event booking are different arrangements. Find Körnergarten at 26 Friedrich-Wieck-Straße. It opens daily from 11:00, with later closing on Friday and Saturday, but kitchen hours end before the venue closes. Contact the team to reserve and verify the last food orders for your chosen day, especially if you plan to arrive in the evening.

Quai Di Dominico, 11 Rue de la Gabelle, 34300 Le Cap d'Agde

+33467262548

Mon 12:00–13:45, 19:00–21:45; Tue 12:00–13:45; Fri–Sun 12:00–13:45, 19:00–21:45

L'Ami Louis is a fish and seafood restaurant on the quay at Centre-Port in Cap d'Agde, at Quai Di Dominico, 11 Rue de la Gabelle. The name goes back to 1931, when Louis, great-grandfather of the current generation, opened a bar-brasserie near Paris. His daughter Janine and her husband Joseph Abadie took over in 1960; Joseph came from Portiragnes near Béziers, and when Cap d'Agde was built as a resort in the 1970s the family moved south and reopened on the Port Brescou quays. Sons Jean-Louis and Jérôme took charge in 1990, and Vincent Abadie, Joseph's eldest grandson, joined in 2003: four generations. The dining room is contemporary, in pastel tones, with a view over the marina. Fish and shellfish come first: Thau lagoon oysters, rock-fish soup with rouille, sea bass in a salt crust sold by weight, sole belle meunière, monkfish bourride, and lobster or langoustines sold by weight in season. Meat eaters get a four-hour braised lamb shank, duck confit or beef filet; the wines are Minervois, La Clape, Faugères. There is a two-course express formula at weekday lunch, three set menus of increasing length, the full carte, and a children's menu up to age eight. Lunch runs from noon to 1:45 pm, dinner from 7 to 9:45 pm. Outside July and August the restaurant is closed Wednesday, Thursday and Tuesday evening; in high season it serves every evening, with an early-diner offer between 7 and 7:30 pm. Book by phone on +33 4 67 26 25 48 or through the form on the website, not by email. Dogs are welcome if mentioned when booking; high chairs are few, so ask. From a rental in the marina it is a short walk; from Agde old town a quarter of an hour by car.

11 Rue des Endronnes, 83300 Draguignan

+33481684599

L'Androuno is a small restaurant on Rue des Endronnes in central Draguignan, where Frédéric Chenillot's cooking combines French traditions with seasonal ideas. Caroline Di Lena looks after reservations and the welcome, while Frédéric works in the kitchen. The couple have managed the restaurant together since June 2014, giving the place a personal character shaped by their complementary roles. The dining room accommodates around fifteen guests. Outside, a terrace provides another setting for a meal and can become a pergola in colder weather. This modest scale is part of the restaurant's appeal: it offers a relatively intimate place to eat within the town centre, with space for both individual tables and organised gatherings. Fresh produce guides the kitchen, and the main menu changes approximately every three months. A separate daily selection allows the chef to respond more frequently to available ingredients. His approach draws on regional French cooking while leaving room for new combinations and adaptations. One example highlighted by the house is creamy lemon risotto with prawns, presented in different variations. Guests can choose from the available menus or order individual dishes. Takeaway meals can be arranged by reservation, and the restaurant also offers catering. For a family celebration, a meeting or a private gathering, the dining spaces can be booked with a menu discussed in advance. Reservation requests are available online, allowing visitors to contact the team before planning a meal or an occasion.

5 place Albert Cavet, 83110 Sanary-sur-Mer

+33494322114

L'Endroit occupies Place Albert Cavet in central Sanary-sur-Mer, combining a Mediterranean kitchen with a wood-fired pizzeria. Chef Nicolas Corti leads the cooking, while Arthur Lemoine prepares the pizzas. The two sides of the menu share an emphasis on fresh ingredients, seasonal produce and preparation in the restaurant. Pizza dough is mixed on the premises, slowly fermented and stretched by hand before its brief encounter with the heat of the wood oven. Toppings range from familiar combinations to creations involving burrata and anchovies or grilled vegetables with homemade pesto. Freshly sliced ham and vegetables roasted over wood also feature in the pizzeria's approach. Beyond pizza, the cooking brings together Provence and Italy. Examples include linguine with prawns flambéed in pastis, truffle cream gnocchi, sea bream fillets with market vegetables and French veal prepared Milanese style. Other dishes include sea bass and small plates intended for sharing. The restaurant works with local fishmongers, vegetable growers and cheesemakers, connecting the menu with the surrounding area. A terrace provides an outdoor setting for the meal, alongside the restaurant's convivial atmosphere. This gives a group the option of choosing between pizza and other dishes without changing addresses. Tables can be requested through the restaurant's reservation service, and the team also takes telephone enquiries for particular requirements. The combination of a dedicated pizzaiolo and a separate kitchen gives the address its character: an artisan pizza restaurant with a broader Provençal and Italian repertoire.

Masia Hort de Fortunyo, Partida Calcines s/n, 43597 Arnes

+34602569626

L'Hort is the restaurant of Hort de Fortunyo, a stone farmhouse hotel outside Arnes, among olive trees near Els Ports. Paula C. Loureiro and Manuel Francés bring experience from different countries and kitchens to a menu rooted in Terra Alta. Local produce and vegetables from the property's garden provide the foundation, while the recipes also make room for flavours learned further afield. The published menu shows how that approach works. A vegetable quiche sits alongside wild-croaker ceviche with sweet potato, fried squid with lime allioli and tuna with passion fruit. The meat section gives particular attention to lamb from Els Ports, while pork ribs are glazed with honey from Arnes. These are examples of the kitchen's repertoire; the season and available produce determine what is offered when you visit. Rice dishes and a substantial wine selection create several ways to build a meal. The listed rice preparations include rabbit with green beans, seafood rossejat and cuttlefish rice with cauliflower. A seasonal menu and a longer L'Hort menu are also advertised. Anyone with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss them when booking, particularly when choosing a set menu. The farmhouse setting and terrace make this a meal to plan into a day around Arnes or Horta de Sant Joan. Reserve directly through the restaurant's booking link and confirm the service you need. Its appeal lies in the combination of a rural setting, a productive garden and regional ingredients handled with an outward-looking approach.

6 rue Barthélémy de Don, 83110 Sanary-sur-Mer

+33469001273

L.A Restaurant brings Anthony Lazzaro's cooking to Rue Barthélémy de Don, in the streets near Sanary's harbor. Anthony and Nadège welcome guests into a small restaurant with an indoor dining room and an enclosed courtyard terrace. The setting offers a sheltered place to eat while remaining in the town center. The kitchen draws on Provence and Calabria, combining the chef's family background with his training in cooking and pastry. His approach is to preserve the character of an ingredient while exploring unexpected combinations of flavors. A deliberately compact menu gives seasonal produce the central role. Preparations are made on the premises, extending from the small bites that begin a meal to the bread and the sweets that finish it. Guests can also choose a carte blanche experience, letting the chef determine the succession of dishes. That format suits diners who enjoy discovering a meal as it unfolds rather than choosing every course beforehand. The restaurant presents its cooking as a personal expression of a culinary inheritance, with attention given to both savory dishes and pastry. The courtyard and the interior provide different settings for the same intimate style of meal. Reservations can be made directly with the restaurant, including requests for a table for two or a larger party. Small, calm dogs are accepted when kept on a leash and on the floor throughout the meal. Appropriate dress is requested.

Calle Punta Pesebre, 35627 Costa Calma

Mon Closed; Tue Closed; Wed 13:00–22:30; Thu 13:00–22:30; Fri 13:00–22:30; Sat 13:00–22:30; Sun 13:00–22:30

L'AperiPizza is an Italian pizzeria in the Centro Comercial Plaza on Calle Punta Pesebre in Costa Calma, in the municipality of Pájara on Fuerteventura. Its own line for what it does is the best summary anyone could write: quality Italian pizza, because life is too short to eat a bad one. The numbers behind that are unusually good. Ninety-eight per cent of two hundred and forty-seven people recommend it, and the price band is the lowest of the three the island's restaurants are sorted into — a combination that is rare anywhere and rarer on a resort coast. There is seating outdoors and pizza can be collected at the kerb. The hours want reading before you set out. It is closed on Monday and on Tuesday, both. From Wednesday to Sunday it opens at one in the afternoon and runs to half past ten at night without a break. Two closing days in a row is unusual here and catches people out at the start of a week's holiday. Costa Calma sits at the neck of the Jandía peninsula in the south of Fuerteventura, where the island narrows to a few kilometres between two coasts. The Centro Comercial Plaza is one of the small shopping centres set back from the beach road, so this is an address to walk to from the town rather than one you pass on the front — worth knowing, because it is easy to miss from the FV-2. You will find L'AperiPizza at Calle Punta Pesebre, Centro Comercial Plaza, Local D2, 35627 Costa Calma.

Wharf Approach, Leeds, LS1 4BR

+441132430090

LIVIN'ITALY sits under the railway arches at Granary Wharf, on the canal side of Leeds station, and is three things in one space: a bar, an Italian restaurant and a deli. The arches give the room its shape, and the house makes a point of the fact that it is Italy lived rather than staged. The family business began in Milan in the 1980s, with the founders' parents and what they describe as a love of good food and honest hospitality; the Leeds house opened in 2012. It has been consistently named among the best Italian restaurants in Britain since. The four words the family uses for what it does — passion, tradition, integrity, simplicity — are worth repeating because the menu follows them: ingredients chosen for where they come from, dishes meant to be shared. Because the deli and the bar sit alongside the kitchen, the same address covers a morning coffee and a Negroni after midnight. Food can also be collected to take away, and gift vouchers are sold on the site. It opens at midday during the week and at ten at the weekend, running to half past eleven, and to half past midnight on Friday and Saturday. Granary Wharf is directly under Leeds station — a covered walk from the platforms. You will find LIVIN'ITALY at Wharf Approach, Granary Wharf, Leeds LS1 4BR.

Jalan Labuansait 10, 80361 Pecatu

+6282145175621

La Baracca Uluwatu serves Italian food on Jalan Labuansait in Pecatu. Reclaimed wood and reused metal form part of its informal interior, giving the restaurant a relaxed setting for pizza, pasta and a shared evening meal. This is the Uluwatu branch; the same restaurant group also operates at several other Bali addresses. Pizza is a central part of the menu, with tomato-based classics alongside richer toppings and combinations using burrata. The menu also includes homemade pasta, such as ricotta-and-spinach ravioli, as well as gnocchi and filled pasta with meat or fish. Starters and vegetable dishes make it possible to begin with a few plates for the table rather than ordering only individual pizzas. La Baracca publishes a dedicated vegan selection and offers its own plant-based cheese. Gluten-free pizza dough is also listed, but the menu warns about possible cross-contamination in the kitchen. Diners with celiac disease or serious allergies should discuss preparation directly rather than relying on a dietary label alone. For a lighter visit, the menu includes salads and panini; ask which sections are served at your chosen time. Book or contact the Uluwatu team through the group's official branch links so that your reservation does not go to Canggu, Seminyak or Ubud. Published closing times differ between booking services, so confirm the last kitchen orders directly if you plan a late dinner. The street address is shared in some directories with neighboring businesses: navigate to the named restaurant.

7390 Shoal Line Boulevard, Weeki Wachee, 34607

+13525565274

Wed–Fri 15:00–21:00; Sat–Sun 12:00–21:00; Mon–Tue Closed

La Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant serves Neapolitan-influenced cooking on Shoal Line Boulevard in the Weeki Wachee area. The restaurant traces its beginnings to 1990 and connects its food to owner Umberto's roots in Naples. The menu centers on pasta, chicken, veal and seafood, with enough variety for a group whose members want different kinds of Italian dishes. Pasta choices include ricotta ravioli and rigatoni with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Linguine with clams is offered with either a red or a white sauce, while other preparations use tomato, cream or seafood. The range lets you choose between a simpler pasta meal and a more substantial dinner without having to order the same style of dish as everyone else. Beyond pasta, the kitchen offers chicken Marsala, veal piccata and eggplant Parmigiana. Tiramisu and cannoli are among the desserts. There is also a children's menu. The restaurant says that dishes are prepared to order and that gluten-free choices can be requested; discuss your needs directly, especially if an allergy rather than a preference is involved. For planning, use the full street address and telephone rather than relying on the restaurant name alone. The published schedule has evening service from Wednesday through Friday and earlier starts on the weekend, with Monday and Tuesday closed. Call ahead for a group or a particular seating time, and check current dishes and hours before making a special trip.

Via Sacra 50, 80045 Pompei

+390818637811

La Bettola del Gusto is a restaurant on Via Sacra in central Pompei, with a kitchen that places Campanian ingredients and family food traditions at the center of its work. The restaurant presents itself as an intimate place for guests who enjoy both familiar regional flavors and more imaginative combinations. Its dining room is designed to balance privacy with the sociability of eating together, providing a considered setting for a meal in the modern town. The culinary approach gives particular attention to the changing seasons and to the selection of fresh ingredients. Fish, meat and pasta all form part of the offer, and bread is made in house. The kitchen team describes hospitality as a daily effort to understand what guests need and to express the food culture of Naples and the surrounding region through the meal. This connection with place also extends to wine. A broad cellar brings together local bottles with wines from elsewhere in Italy and abroad, allowing different combinations with the kitchen's preparations. The restaurant's account of its work emphasizes learning through experience, preserving knowledge passed down within the family and continuing to develop new ideas. Its association with Slow Food is another expression of that attention to ingredients and regional food culture. For visitors exploring Pompei, the restaurant offers a setting in which the modern town's culinary identity can become part of the visit. Table requests can be submitted through the restaurant's reservation form, after which the staff contacts guests to confirm the booking.

Prinzeß-Luise-Straße 189, 45479 Mülheim an der Ruhr

+49 208 20586015

La Cantina is an Italian restaurant on Prinzeß-Luise-Straße with an unusually broad pasta selection. Homemade linguine, tagliatelle, ravioli and cannelloni are prominent, alongside pizza, antipasti, fish and meat dishes. It is a useful choice when one person wants a simple Italian classic and another prefers a more elaborate combination without changing restaurants. The pasta menu ranges from linguine with garlic, chilli and olive oil to ravioli with goat's cheese and figs in sage butter. Seafood combinations, salmon-filled ravioli and spinach-and-ricotta cannelloni provide other directions. A separate special card brings additional ideas and seasonal ingredients, so check what is available when you arrive rather than relying on a particular special throughout the year. Pizza includes familiar Margherita and ham-and-mushroom options as well as combinations such as pear with Gorgonzola or prawns with rocket. Children have their own pizza, pasta and small schnitzel choices. Desserts include homemade tiramisu, panna cotta and zabaglione, allowing the meal to finish in a recognisably Italian style. Find La Cantina at 189 Prinzeß-Luise-Straße. The published timetable starts at 16:00 from Tuesday to Saturday, with lunch service from noon on Sundays and public holidays; Monday is closed. Telephone or email ahead for current availability and discuss allergies or ingredient questions directly with the restaurant before choosing from the larger menu.

Calle San Francisco de Paula, 2, 11401 Jerez de la Frontera

+34956347475

La Carboná brings Jerez's wine culture directly to the table in a former bodega on Calle San Francisco de Paula. Its historic setting gives a meal here a clear sense of place, while the kitchen treats sherry as an ingredient as well as something to drink. Chef Javier Muñoz's approach connects local produce with contemporary preparations, making this a distinctive option for visitors who want their restaurant choice to be part of discovering Jerez. The published menu shows how that relationship works. Cod is paired with orange and Oloroso in an escabeche; an Iberian pork preparation incorporates Palo Cortado; and sea bass appears alongside chargrilled vegetables. These examples describe the restaurant's approach rather than a fixed promise for every visit, as the kitchen explicitly adjusts dishes and garnishes to the season. For a more guided meal, the La Albarizuela tasting menu follows a sequence of dishes with accompanying wines. The restaurant also publishes an à-la-carte selection and a separate midweek menu, so it is worth checking which format is available when booking. Diners choosing the paired menu should note that the restaurant serves it to the whole table. La Carboná is particularly relevant after exploring Jerez's bodegas or historic centre: the connection between the surrounding wine region and the cooking continues through the meal. Reserve directly to confirm the current menu, dietary requirements and service time.

Via Indipendenza 58, 73024 Maglie

+390836424712

Mon Closed; Tue–Sun 19:00–00:00

La Cascina began in Maglie in 1986 and remains centered on thin, crisp pizza. Flour selection and the character of the dough are part of its approach, while the menu has expanded to include starters, main courses and hamburgers. The result is a pizzeria with enough variety for a table whose guests want different kinds of meal. Its address is Via Indipendenza, where table service is offered in an indoor dining room and, during summer, an outdoor garden. Pizza sits alongside a grill section, burgers, salads and pucce, the local style of filled bread. There are also appetizers, small savory dishes and desserts, allowing guests to put together anything from a simple pizza meal to several courses. These are separate strands of the menu rather than a single fixed sequence, so the choice can be shaped around the occasion and the people at the table. Gluten free food is a particular part of La Cascina's offer. The kitchen provides alternatives across several menu categories using selected flours. This service requires advance booking and is available only to guests eating at the tables. Anyone arranging such a meal should make that requirement part of the reservation. For other orders, the business also provides takeaway and home delivery. Guests can therefore choose between eating in the dining room, using the seasonal garden or ordering food to enjoy elsewhere. Direct telephone contact and a table booking link provide ways to arrange a visit.

Route de l’Allex 2, 1880 Bex

+41215599651

La Colonne is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria on Route de l'Allex in Bex. Mia and Orhan reopened this established family address in August 2025, bringing a new team to a house whose restaurant history stretches back to 1972. The dining room, bright veranda and terrace offer different settings for the same homemade Italian cooking. Pizza is a central part of the menu. The dough is made in-house and given a slow rise, with fresh toppings and careful baking. Beyond pizza, the kitchen prepares homemade tagliatelle, potato gnocchi and ravioli filled with ricotta. These dishes make it possible to choose a full pasta meal even when other people at the table have come specifically for pizza. The menu follows the seasons and market produce. One of the restaurant's own examples is wild-boar meatballs in tomato sauce during the game season. A changing lunchtime menu provides another option alongside the regular selection. Ask what is available that day rather than expecting seasonal dishes to remain on the card throughout the year. The terrace has a wood-burning stove, while the bar provides a place for an Italian coffee or an aperitif. La Colonne can also be booked for private occasions. It opens later on Mondays than on the rest of its working week and closes on Sundays. Telephone for a table, current food-service times or arrangements for a family celebration, and mention any dietary requirements when booking.
