Konoba Lanterna — Restaurant in Općina Župa dubrovačka

Lovely restaurant on the sea with great views. I recommend making a reservation and requesting a table near the window inside. They were all full when we showed up without a reservation so we said along the sidewalk near the sea. Those tables are nice too but a lot of people walk directly next to you since they are literally on the sidewalk.

The food was good but we expected better. They are quite heavy handed with the salt.

-Black risotto: this was our favorite dish. It's listed under the side dishes but it's extremely large and could definitely be an entry portion. There was tons of cuttlefish in it and it was very flavorful.

-Spaghetti and prawns: also very good, probably a smaller portion than the risotto.

-Fish fillet: This is a generous portion of fish with lots of fresh vegetables roasted underneath. The fish was too salty but the vegetables were delicious.

-Bread: They charge two euros for a basket of homemade bread. We would definitely skip it. The tripod was dense and dry and did not come with any butter or anything else to put on it.

We went at about 5:00pm and there were 3 tables by the open-air “window” and 2 were occupied. We asked if our group of 3 could take the other table and the older gentleman told us it was reserved. I thought perhaps it was reserved later and we would be finished by the time of the reservation so I asked what time the reservation was and he told us 5:30pm.

That was fine and we sat at another table but about 15 minutes later a group of 5 people came in and asked another server if they could sit at that table and he said sure and they sat there.

I didn’t mind the table and sitting inside was not an issue but my frustration was that we were lied to. He could have told us it was saved for a group of 5-6 and I would have had zero issue with that.

The seafood platter for 2 was very good and the stuffed chicken and black risotto...
