Ten places to eat on Krk in 2026: konobas and a pizzeria in Krk town, spit-roast lamb in Rasopasno, a seafood restaurant in Njivice. Each entry covers dishes, price level, distance from town and what guests say.
The best restaurants in Krk are split between Krk town and the rest of the island: some sit in the old town and along the waterfront, others in Rasopasno, Sveti Vid-Miholjice and Njivice. This guide, written in September 2026, picks ten and tells you how far each one is from town.
Where to eat in Krk: old town, waterfront and inland villages
Krk town is best covered on foot. Inside the walls, around Vela placa square and the cathedral, you will find pizzerias and smaller restaurants; along the riva, the harbour promenade, fish konobas face the boats. For spit-roast Krk lamb you need a car: the best-known address is in Rasopasno, about 15 km from town on the road from Malinska to Vrbnik. In Njivice, some 20 km to the north, a harbourside restaurant has been open since 1934. Menus across the island keep returning to šurlice, hand-rolled pasta served with lamb goulash or with scampi, and to žlahtina, the white wine from the Vrbnik valley.
Best restaurants in Krk: how the list was put together
The jelo.hr directory currently lists 24 venues for Krk, in town and around the island. The ranking weighs guest ratings and review counts, recognition from guides such as Gault&Millau, and variety, so alongside fish konobas you also get lamb, pizza, a charcoal grill and one wine-led address. Nobody from jelo.hr has sat at these tables; the verdict is about choice and offer, and details on dishes and prices come from public sources and reviews. The recommendations hold for the 2027 season too, until the guide is refreshed.
Season on Krk: crowds and when to book
Peak season runs from mid-June to the end of August. Expect to wait for dinner between 7 and 9 pm even at pizzerias, and phone a day ahead for lamb or a larger group. Out of season the choice narrows, but it does not disappear: Galija and Furešti stay open all year, and Rivica closes only from mid-January to mid-February. April brings the island's Šurlice and Asparagus Days, May the Lamb and Cheese Days.
1. Konoba Galija
Frankopanska 38
Wood-fired oven and šurlice with scampi in Krk town
The safest pick in Krk town when the table cannot agree on fish or pizza. Galija has been open since 1991 on Frankopanska Street, a short walk from the centre, and one menu covers wood-fired pizza, šurlice with scampi, seafood goulash with polenta and steaks. Reviews single out the Vagabonda pizza, and salt cod is cooked around Christmas.
Opening hours, crowds and booking
According to available information it is open all year, daily from 11 am to 2 am, which is rare on the island. Prices are mid-range. In July and August book an evening table by phone; without a reservation, expect to wait.
Guests in reviews point to large portions, wood-fired pizza and quick, multilingual staff; complaints concern over-salted pasta and the wait for a table in peak season.

2. Konoba Šantek
Rasopasno 2C
Spit-roast lamb in Rasopasno, 15 km from town
The reason people on Krk drive inland for dinner. Konoba Šantek is outside Krk town, in the village of Rasopasno, on the road from Malinska to Vrbnik, about 15 km from town. The family-run house is known for Krk lamb and suckling pig from the spit and veal baked under the peka lid. It is also listed in the Falstaff restaurant guide.
Parking, playground and booking
There is a large free car park out front and a children's playground next to the terrace, which makes it a regular choice for family lunches. Prices are mid-range. The konoba recommends booking for groups of more than ten.
Guests in reviews most often praise the juicy lamb, generous meat platters and service that stays quick when the place is full; some recent reviews complain of uneven quality.

3. Pizzeria Camplin
Ul. Alojzija Stepinca 5
Green pizza in the old town of Krk
The first choice for pizza in Krk town and the simplest answer to where to eat on a budget. Camplin is on Alojzija Stepinca Street, in the old town. The house speciality is pizza verde, made with spinach and corn-flour dough, which guests recommend with octopus or prawns; there is a vegan version too.
Prices, the queue and opening hours
Guests report pizzas at €11–13. A queue forms in the evening, but service is fast and tables free up reasonably quickly; pizzas can be ordered to take away. Available sources give opening hours of noon to 10 pm with Monday as the closing day, which is worth checking before you go.
Guests in reviews praise the dough, the unusual fish and seafood toppings and the friendly staff; the most common complaint is the wait for a table in the evening.

4. Malo misto wine & dine
Ul. Josipa Juraja Strossmayera 3
A wine list with more than 300 Croatian labels
The address for an evening when the wine matters as much as the plate. Malo misto is on Strossmayer Street, in one of the oldest buildings in Krk town. It is run by owners who are in the restaurant every day, one as chef, the other as sommelier. The list holds more than 300 Croatian labels, and the menu changes at least four times over the season. Guests mention šurlice with scampi, cuttlefish risotto and mussels.
Prices and booking
This is a pricier address than the town's konobas; a few reviews find the bill high for what arrives on the table. Book by phone in season.
Guests in reviews highlight the owners' knowledge of Croatian wine, the pairing advice with each dish and the presentation; complaints are almost entirely about prices.

5. Restoran Rivica
Ribarska obala 13
Seafood restaurant in Njivice, open since 1934
The most decorated address on the list is outside Krk town: Rivica is on the Ribarska obala waterfront in Njivice, about 20 km and a 25-minute drive to the north. The Lesica family has run it since 1934, now in the fourth generation. Chef Igor Eržen leads the kitchen. Gault&Millau gives it 15/20 in its 2026 edition. Guests choose their lobster from the tank.
Opening times and what to know before you go
It is open daily from noon to 10 pm and closes only from 15 January to 15 February. It takes cards and has private parking and a view of the small harbour. The house runs Cod Days, Lamb Days and Asparagus Days.
Guests in reviews and restaurant guides point to the daily catch from local fishermen and the harbour view; from 1995 to 2025 it was listed among Croatia's top 100 restaurants every year.

6. Konoba NONO
Ul. Krčkih iseljenika 8; u
A konoba with its own olive mill by the town walls
The best choice in Krk town for šurlice and house olive oil. NONO has been open since 1998 on Krčkih iseljenika Street, some 70 metres from the Porta Pisana gate. White-flour šurlice come with lamb goulash, the wholemeal version with octopus and prawns. Homemade bread arrives with the house oil, and pancakes with curd cheese and fig cake are mentioned for dessert.
Olive mill, oil shop and season
The konoba also houses an oil shop and a prosciutto ageing room, so both can be bought to take home. During olive processing in late autumn the space becomes a working mill and the konoba does not serve. Prices are mid-range.
Guests in reviews praise the house oil served with warm bread and the šurlice with goat's cheese; occasional complaints concern a šurlice sauce that fell short of expectations.

7. Konoba Šime
51500
Scampi from the family boat on the Krk waterfront
The shortest route from sea to plate in Krk town. Konoba Šime is on the riva, with a terrace facing the harbour, and the family owns its own fishing boat, which lands scampi, prawns and Adriatic fish. The house is known for homemade green and black noodles with seafood.
No reservations, waterfront prices
As a rule the konoba does not take reservations for smaller tables and seats guests as they arrive; parties of eight or more should message ahead. Staff speak German, Italian and English. Prices are a little higher than in the streets behind the waterfront.
Guests in reviews highlight fresh scampi, generous portions and a family atmosphere; some find the prices a little high, and ratings differ from one review site to another.

8. Bistro TOP
Omišaljska ul. 2
Grill and pizza for €10–15 per person
The most affordable address on the list. Bistro TOP is on Omišaljska Street in Krk town, outside the old walls, and serves grilled meat, pizza and traditional dishes.

Opening hours and who it suits
According to available information it is open from 8 am to 10 pm, which makes it one of the few places on the list for a mid-morning bite or an early lunch. It has a terrace and parking, and food can be ordered to take away.

9. Konoba Furešti
Ul. Sveti Vid - Miholjice 151
Family konoba in Sveti Vid-Miholjice near Malinska
A good address for anyone staying around Malinska. Furešti is outside Krk town, in the village of Sveti Vid-Miholjice, about 12 km and a quarter of an hour's drive from town. The family konoba opened in 2022. The menu has Krk prosciutto and cheese in olive oil, tuna, octopus and steaks; the food blog Delicije describes a rump steak tagliata and homemade gnocchi with goulash.
Open all year, with a children's corner
The konoba is open all year, which matters outside the season. It has parking, a spacious terrace and a children's corner with picture books and colouring books. Prices are mid-range.
Guests in reviews point to friendly, quick service, the tuna and octopus, and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere; ratings vary noticeably between review sites.

10. Konoba 180
Ul. Stjepana Radića 1c
Charcoal grill, opened in 2025
The youngest address on the list, for those looking for charcoal-grilled meat in Krk town. Konoba 180 opened in 2025 on Stjepana Radića Street; the name refers to 180 °C, the temperature the owners consider ideal for grilling. Off the charcoal come ćevapčići, chicken and steaks with steakhouse fries, and the menu also has risottos and pasta. The terrace is shaded and green, and guests are greeted with a welcome drink.
Opening hours and delivery
It is open daily from noon to midnight, and food can be ordered by phone for delivery or pick-up. Prices are mid-range.
Guests in reviews praise the big portions, the smoky flavour of the meat and the welcome drink; complaints concern a steak cooked to the wrong doneness and the price for the cut.

How to choose a restaurant in Krk
First decide whether you are staying in town. Galija, Camplin, Malo misto, NONO and Šime are all within walking distance of the old town, and the car stays in a car park outside the walls. Šantek, Furešti and Rivica mean a drive of 15 to 25 minutes, so agree in advance who is driving, because lamb and fish usually come with a glass of žlahtina.
Then choose by dish. For seafood in Krk, head to Šime on the waterfront or to Njivice; for Krk lamb, to Rasopasno. Šurlice are on the menu at Galija, NONO and Malo misto. Restaurants with a sea view on Krk almost always mean a higher bill and a longer wait than a konoba one street back. Konobas in the island's interior have parking at the door, which is not the case in town. With children, Šantek with its playground and Furešti with its children's corner are the easiest. Finally, read the complaints in reviews as well as the praise.
