  • 1. Konoba Bukaleta

    $

    Cres is famous for its lamb, and although the majority of restaurants have it on the menu, Bukaleta is the place for the best on the island. Located in the small village of Loznati, just 10 km (6 miles) south of Cres Town, Bukaleta has been run by the same family for more than 30 years. The cozy interior is rustic with a large open fireplace, a collection of old tools and pots and its namesake bukaleta, a traditional jug made of clay from which wine is normally shared around the table. The large outdoor terrace can accommodate 100 people.

  • 2. Konoba Belona

    $

    This family-run restaurant understands the true meaning of making guests feel welcome. Meals are freshly prepared in a classic way that honors the treasures of Cres. Belona is both recognizable for its homey atmosphere and excellent food. The pepper steak is well worth a try, as is the freshly caught scarpina (scorpionfish) grilled over the fire.

  • 3. Konoba Bonifačić

    $

    The subtitle on the road signs reads nonina kuhinja (granny's cooking), and you were a spoiled child indeed if your grandma turned out dishes of this standard for you. The shady garden in the heart of ancient Osor is a perfect setting in which to enjoy the typical plates of the konoba: meat, seafood, pasta, and salads.

    Osor 64, Osor, Primorsko-Goranska, 51554, Croatia

  • 4. Konoba Hibernicia

    $

    A nice little terrace right by the bell tower in the heart of the stone hilltop village of Lubenice is the perfect location for a light lunch of pršut (prosciutto), cheese, olives, and a glass of local wine. For a more hearty meal, order lamb-stew gnocchi or lamb liver with polenta, since lamb is a specialty on Cres.

    Lubenice 17, Lubenice, Primorsko-Goranska, 51557, Croatia
    051-525–040

    Known For

    • Relaxed atmosphere
    • Simple traditional food

  • 5. Riva

    $$

    The colorful square on the edge of Cres Town Harbor is lined with many restaurants serving seafood, pasta, and risotto, and Riva is an excellent choice. Tables edge out onto the flagstones of the square, meaning the steady stream of strollers through the town will eye your plate with appreciative glances. A good selection of shellfish is up for grabs, including the seafood spaghetti, which is wonderful. It's a good idea to reserve a table in the evening.

    Riva Creskih Kapetana 13, Cres Town, Primorsko-Goranska, 51557, Croatia
    051-571–107

    Known For

    • Fresh seafood
    • Harbor-view terrace
    • Dinner reservations necessary
