Five places to eat in Biograd na Moru for September 2026: an all-day restaurant on the main square, Neapolitan-style pizza in the old town, a konoba run by a fishing business, a family fish restaurant facing the Pašman Channel and a quiet hotel terrace.
The best restaurants in Biograd na Moru fit on a short list: this is a selection of five for a town of marinas, ferries and family beaches, put together in September 2026.
Where to eat in Biograd na Moru: the waterfront, the old town, Dražica and Soline
Biograd, once a royal town, sits on a small peninsula in the Pašman Channel and is now one of the largest charter bases on the Adriatic. The main stage is the riva, the waterfront from which ferries leave for Tkon on the island of Pašman and excursion boats head for the Kornati. In the streets behind it, around Trg hrvatskih velikana and the parish church, are pizzerias, konobas and restaurants where you eat for less than by the water. To the east the promenade leads to the beaches of Dražica and Soline, with their pine wood, hotels and campsites. For sailors in Marina Kornati or Marina Šangulin, everything on this list is minutes from the berth. A local speciality is kunjke, Noah's ark shells from the Pašman Channel, which are returning to Biograd menus.
How the list was put together
The Jelo.hr directory has 16 active venues in Biograd na Moru, so this is a Top 5, not a Top 10. The criteria are guest ratings and review counts on Google, media mentions and variety. We found no awards from the major guides for these restaurants, so here the guests decide. The list has a restaurant on the main square open until midnight, an old-town pizzeria, a konoba run by a fishing business, a fish restaurant with a sea view and a hotel restaurant open to non-residents. The order does not grade the food, since nobody from Jelo.hr has tasted it; it reflects standing among guests and what each restaurant offers.
The season in Biograd: charter Saturdays, August and the Boat Show
The peak runs from mid-July to the end of August, when terraces are full from 7 pm. Biograd also has a weekly rhythm: charter crews return on Friday evenings and new ones arrive on Saturdays, so those two days are the busiest from May to October. In October the Biograd Boat Show fills the town. In winter some restaurants close; Arkada, for one, is reported to shut from mid-November to mid-March. These recommendations also hold for the 2027 season, until the guide is updated.
1. Restoran Peperino
Trg hrvatskih velikana 7
Tuna, calamari and pizza on Trg hrvatskih velikana
The safest choice in the centre when a group cannot agree on what to eat. Peperino is on Trg hrvatskih velikana, the main square a few steps from the waterfront, and by review count it is the most visited restaurant in Biograd na Moru. Dalmatian dishes, fish and pizza share one roof. Reviews most often mention the tuna steak, grilled calamari, octopus and pizza, with pancakes for dessert. There is an air-conditioned dining room and a terrace on the square, a children's menu and vegetarian dishes.
Prices, opening hours and delivery
According to the restaurant it opens daily from 9 am to midnight, rare in the centre for dinner after 10 pm. Restaurant Guru puts a meal at 15 to 20 euros per person, and guests regularly call it good value for the location. Cards are accepted, including American Express and Diners. Delivery runs from noon to 11.30 pm, with ordering through the restaurant's website. Tables can be booked online; for an evening slot on the terrace in July and August, do it a day ahead.
In reviews, guests highlight the quick, well-drilled service, the tuna, calamari and pizza, and prices lower than expected, while complaints mention the occasional lukewarm dish and uneven service at busy times.

2. Pizzeria Mamma Mia Biograd
Ul. Grgura Ninskog 2
Neapolitan-style pizza in the lane to the church
The first address for pizza in the old town. Mamma Mia is a small pizzeria on Grgura Ninskog Street, the lane leading to the parish church, away from the waterfront crowds. The pizza is Neapolitan in style, and guests praise the dough and the quality of the ingredients above all. The choice is wide, from Margherita and four cheeses to seafood pizza. Lasagne, grilled dishes and fish are also on offer, and reviews mention a good selection of beers. Some guests write that they have been coming back for around twenty years.
Prices, cash and waiting for a table
According to reviews pizzas cost 10 to 14 euros, which makes this the cheapest dinner on the list. The pizzeria reportedly opens daily from noon to 11 pm. Some reviews say cash only, others mention cards; the simplest answer is to bring cash. The place is small and in peak season there is a wait for tables, so come before 7 pm or call ahead. Pizza is available to take away, and dogs are allowed on the terrace.
In reviews, guests highlight the dough, the quality ingredients and the friendly staff, and many call it the best pizza in Biograd; complaints concern cash-only payment and the crowds in peak season.

3. Konoba Barba
Frankopanska ulica 2
Fish from the owners' boats on Frankopanska Street
The most convincing choice for seafood in Biograd's town centre. Konoba Barba is part of the Hobos fishing business, so, by its own account, fish and shellfish come from its own boats and are prepared to traditional recipes. The menu runs to about sixty items, and the most praised are grilled tuna, calamari, mussels, fish platters and octopus, including octopus cooked under the peka. The konoba was also filmed for the British food programme Croatia's Finest with Dhruv Baker. Anyone skipping fish can have grilled meat or pizza.
Prices, cash and days without a catch
Restaurant Guru puts a meal at 15 to 25 euros per person, and guests describe the prices as fair for fresh fish. The konoba itself warns that some dishes are unavailable in bad weather or during closed fishing seasons, so ask the waiter what came in that day. Reviews report cash-only payment, so bring some. It reportedly opens daily until late in the evening, though sources disagree on the opening time. The konoba takes bookings and has a terrace.
In reviews, guests highlight the fresh fish, the tuna and octopus and the fair prices, while complaints concern cash-only payment, slower service when it is busy and uneven quality.

4. Restoran Arkada
Šetalište Dražice 3
Black risotto and Kornati scampi with a view of the channel
The best choice for a fish dinner by the sea. Arkada is on the Dražice promenade, close to Hotel Kornati, with a terrace shaded by palms and laurel. A family restaurant with more than forty years of tradition, now in its fourth generation, it is run by Slavica Eškinja according to Gastronaut. The seafood menu opens with cold octopus or seafood salad and continues with black risotto or squid risotto. Scorpionfish, John Dory, sea bass and bream are regulars, with scampi and lobster from the Kornati. Meat eaters have prosciutto and pašticada.
Prices, winter break and booking
The range is the widest on the list: Restaurant Guru gives 15 to 40 euros per person, depending on fish by the kilo and shellfish. Cards are accepted. According to Gastronaut the restaurant is closed from 15 November to 15 March. In season it opens until 11 pm; one source lists Monday as a closing day, so call ahead. For a table at the edge of the terrace, with the sea view, book a day ahead in July and August.
In reviews, guests highlight the fresh fish, large portions and family atmosphere, among them sailors who return year after year; complaints concern the plain interior and the occasional lapse in service.

5. Restaurant Carpymore
Ul. kralja Tvrtka 10
Prawn risotto on a quiet old-town street
The best choice for a quieter dinner, and for a table where someone eats vegetarian or gluten-free. Carpymore is the restaurant of the small hotel of the same name on Kralja Tvrtka Street, some sixty metres from the seafront promenade, and it is open to non-residents. The kitchen mixes Croatian, Mediterranean and Austrian dishes and lists vegan and gluten-free options. Reviews most often praise the prawn risotto with vegetables, followed by black risotto, the mixed fish platter, pasta, pizza and beef steak. According to hotel guests' reviews the hosts are Svjetlana and Zoran, who speak German.
Breakfast, prices and cards
According to the restaurant it opens daily from 8 am to midnight, making it one of the few places in the old town where you can also have breakfast. Dishes start at around ten euros. Visa, Mastercard and Diners are accepted. The restaurant has an air-conditioned room and a terrace, step-free access and a children's menu, does takeaway and accepts dogs. When the terrace is full the food can take longer, so in season book and come early.
In reviews, guests highlight the attentive, multilingual staff, the prawn risotto and the calm terrace away from the bustle of the harbour, while complaints concern longer waits on full evenings.

How to choose a restaurant in Biograd na Moru
Biograd is small, so the choice depends less on distance and more on what you want to eat and how you pay. All five places are in or beside the old town, a few minutes' walk from the marinas, the ferry port and the hotels at Dražica. Guests from the campsites at Soline reach the centre along the seafront promenade.
Seafood in Biograd, pizza, or restaurants with a sea view
For fish at a moderate price choose Konoba Barba and bring cash. For dinner with a view of the channel, with scampi or fish by the kilo, book Arkada and expect a higher bill. With children it is easiest to agree on pizza at Mamma Mia or on the broad menu at Peperino, which has a children's menu and stays open until midnight. Carpymore is the answer for breakfast, for a quieter table and for guests who need gluten-free or vegan dishes. The konobas of Biograd na Moru fill up on Fridays and Saturdays because of the sailors, so on those days book even outside the peak.
