Pumparela Restaurant — Restaurant in Općina Bol

Very busy but the four of us got accommodation pretty quickly without reservation. The food and service were great all in all. The staff seemed all over the place and forgetful at times because of the traffic but all requests were fulfilled. We were seated right next to the port with a view of fish swimming about in the water. If you're looking for a restaurant with a great location and great food to boot this is the place. Best Frutti Di Mare Spaghetti I've eaten in a long while even though it is comparably cheaper to similar restaurants in the area. The Tuna Steak, grilled Squid, Orada fish and black risotto were all also amazing. The Tuna was served on a hot stone. The Shrimp Soup and Beef Soup were also great, flavourful and in the case of the shrimp soup almost stew like. The bread served was fresh, warm even. Portion sizes are also adequate, if not on the large side meaning even better value for money. We were served Lemon Sorbet ice cream in a wine glass as desert...

Everyone visiting Bol passes by this restaurant, and i would recommend to have dinner here.

The location is super, right in the middle of the harbour, with excellent views.

Our waiter was very attentative, had recommendations on the menu and took his time to guide us towards our choice.

The restaurant has a daily special - fresh - that they promote and prepare in front of all the guests. Food quality is great. We had the dry aged beef burger and mussels, along with two portions of the freshly baked bread. This bread is a must-try, it's delicious (see photo).

Our dessert was cannoli and creme brulee. The creme brulee was disappointing, sugar wasnt crunchy but soggy, because it was made in advance and put in the fridge. The cannoli was tasty and nice.

All in all, i would recommend this restaurant. Portions are good and food (main courses) is fresh and very tasty. Service is great and prices are fair. Come early or make reservations though, as everyone wants...

If you like plastic in your meal - go there!

We all know that usually you can’t expect a good cost-benefit ratio at tourist restaurants. But the bad quality of Pumparela Restaurant reached a new level. The zucchini soup was more like water with soup spices, the vegetable risotto was rice with zucchini - there you found the missing zucchini from the soup. So far we hadn’t been excited but the worst thing was a big piece of plastic in my calamaris. When I called the waiter he told me that nowadays it’s normal to have plastic in your food if you eat calamari because all of them have plastic in their bodies. No apologies, no offer, nothing. So he encouraged me to keep on eating because it’s totally normal and that most restaurants don’t even clean their calamaris but they do. So he refused to take them back. We paid and left.

To be fair I’ve to say that the fresh squeezed orange juice and the homemade...
