Unlike the north coast, where you’ll only find a hotel and a view of the marina, the south coast of Umag hides several rastaurants (konoba), well protected from the bora (NE wind), where you can sit and enjox the auntumn sun.

We didn’t mind the menu with photos; we even got over the fact that there was no bakalar. There was, however, some excellent biska and medica, octopus salad, slaty sardelles and some more fish, mixed side dishes, and, of course, malvazija. And two sorbets. 250 Kn (35 €) per person seems like a good price for the pleasure we got, enjoying ourselves by the sea.

Meanwhile the Italians to the left gulped down their shrimps and the Germans to the right their mixed grill: everybody was happy. It was 100% more peaceful than Piran, and a bonazza instead of bora.

The food may not be exceptional, but the location is nice and well maintained It will tempt you to stay there instead of proceeding further into Istra. We also give extra marks for a really pleasant service.
