What does konoba mean?

When tourists travel to Dalmatia and hear the word konoba, they are led to believe that it is a kind of restaurant.

And it is, but its much more than that! It is a place where you will see the tradition and the life of the locals now and in the past. It is a true soul of traditional cuisine in Dalmatia, as well as the Istria region!

The word is usually translated as a tavern or a cellar and it derives from the Latin word "canaba" which means a hut or a shed. When put in plural, canabae, you get a word that describes a settlement that was located near a Roman military complex used by merchants and soldiers on leave.

Konoba is to Croatia what the trattoria is to Italy or a bistro to France. A real hallmark of tradition!

A typical menu in a konoba restaurant generally includes fish specialties, meat dishes, food prepared under peka, octopus, tasty risottos and much much more! There are some that serve less traditional meals, so you could try a pizza or french fries.

In the past and today, it is a place where homemade wine is made and held, usually distinguished by stone walls and wood furniture as well as tools for work in the vineyards and fields. It is known that the best wine is held in wood barrels!

They were not used as restaurants much in the past, but today visitors find them charming and today konobas can be found throughout Dalmatia and Istria regions.
