A restaurant with one of the longest traditions in the Adriatic, run by the Lesica family since 1934. At first it was a guesthouse and then became a restaurant in the mid 1960s. Dražen Lesica, the current owner and chef, has remained faithful to local ingredients and cuisine but has enhanced them with modern presentation and preparation techniques. The restaurant is famous for Krk lamb, fish, squid, cod and asparagus. Since a new breakwater for sailors has been built just in front of it in Njivice, it is always possible to find a safe, empty berth.
