This wasn't an accidental discovery. I red about Konoba Galija in one magazine. Knowing things in advance might result in high expectations and disappointment. This one was so much better than I expected.
Well, they didn't have any sea urchin caviar, so I couldn't order Orgasm plate (they serve only absolutely fresh ingredients) but trying sea-eggs was too close to hedonism as well! It looks like a lump of seaweed, cut in half and served raw - yellow liquid to be eaten with spoon from soft purple shell. Gentle bitter aroma of sea touches your tongue and floats up to your nostrils enough to enhance the experience.
*We noticed the tip of a large ship slowly entering the bay*
My next course were prawns, grilled and touched with few drops of aromatic honey. Bees are grazing on rosemary, sage, lavender here. Wash your hands first, and eat with fingers. Lick your fingers clean afterwards. It's essential to the recipe, really.
*The magnificent sailing ship was half-way in the bay*
We ordered the wine of the house - recommended by the owner. Good restaurants usually have good wine of the house, it's one of the things they build their reputation on. This wine was excellent, playful and velvety with subtle floral scents.
*We had to go observe the mooring of that ship, so we didn't get drunk and silly* Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Cavtat - CroatiaPhone: +385 /20 /478 566Directions: Main promenade, near Franciscan monastery

| | | | Konoba Toranj: The tower restaurant | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
I would normally eat at one of the many restaurants along the harbour promenade, where one can get a deasant meal for around 10 US$. This evening I wanted something special, and entered the Konoba Toranj.
After having been ripped off with KN 140 for a light lunch in Dubrovnik, I had this delicious three course meal in Cavtat for KN 155, including a coke and a cup of coffee! There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambience is very nice. They have this annoying custom of adding a charge for the couvert here, too, but by now I had gotten used to it, and it was "only" 8 kuna here, compared to 14 in Dubrovnik.
The waiter was very enthusiastic, promoting their home made food. He even gave me a Croatia guide book in Norvegian, that another customer had left :-) I couldn't see any towr, though!
The municipality is changing water pipes, causing the entrance to be partly blocked. Hopefully they are finished by now! (pic. 5)
Actually, it was a four course meal, I was given an appetizer on the house: a home made pate with tunafish as the main ingrediant.
For a starter I chose Dalmatian Pršut, a special smoked ham (pic. 2)
Main course: Grilled chicken, perfectly cooked, very tender, and nicely laid out on the plate together with vegetables (pic. 3)
Dessert: Home made caramel pudding, yummi!
