Tavern Porat, Stara Novalja

Prepare to have your taste buds blown away by this incredible Novalja restaurant! From the amazing view to the polite and experienced staff, everything about this place is simply top-notch.  And despite the incredible quality of the food, the prices are totally reasonable compared to other local Novalja restaurants offering a similar menu. We recommend trying something different – the Boeuf Stroganov is superb, and the Tagliatelle with Scampi was just as tasty. To top it all off, you can enjoy the wonderful Stara Novalja coastline walkway. It is incredibly beautiful and a perfect end to a fabulous meal at this very decent restaurant. It is actually our favourite walk on the island. So pretty and relaxing,

Customer Reviews

Customers comment about the delicious food and the warm and friendly service at Tavern Porat Restaurant.

“The best in Stara Novalja. Excellent seafood ( octopus, calamari) and very testy malvazia vine Tomaz from Istria (Motovun). Astonishing view of sea and you can jump from the bay into a deep green-blue sea. The waiter is a young guy from Osijek in Slavonia, very pleasant and with good advice about wine (“I will pay if you would not be satisfied!”).” Review by Sinisa M

“Maybe the best place for foodies on the whole island of Pag. Reasonable prices compared with traditional croatian food. We tried something different, but the Boeuf Stroganov was superb and also the Tagliatelle with Scampi were really tasty. Also be sure to try the white house wine! Afterwards, enjoy the wonderful view from the walkway heading north, beginning right after the Konoba.” Review by Chris Kubizek
