Guests on our boat trips ask us every day where to eat in Zadar. After 15 years of showing visitors around, our answer is always the same: Konoba Malo Misto, a family restaurant in the Old Town that has been cooking Dalmatian food since 1970.
Why Malo Misto is our choice
Authentic Dalmatian dishes
Pašticada, gregada, black risotto and buzara, cooked from family recipes passed down through generations – with a modern touch.

Fresh, local food

Family tradition since 1970
A family-run konoba in the heart of the Old Town, with a terrace in a stone courtyard.
