“ Easily the best fish restaurant on the southern Croatian coast. Far better than the high price ones in Dubrovnik. Had the fish soup (proper fish soup not fish consomme) crab soup, st jaques shells, grilled squid and crab spring rolls. All cooked perfectly and delicious. ”
“ My boyfriend and I have had breakfast and dined here twice. It was a wonderful experience with delicious food. The waiters were always kind and treated us with respect. We appreciated their hospitality and absolutely loved the food. We recommend the English breakfast, crab soup, rib-eye steak and the peach cheesecake. Thank you for having us Restaurant Puntižela! ”
“ The Meal of MY LIFE. Really, not an easy thing to say as I’ve eaten in 83 countries and this was the best lamb and steak meal with ever eaten. The wine is amazing and the waiters really know their wine and food. They are friendly yet professional and informative about the food and wine experience. Our waiter was name was Looky. But the real issue here is they know where to buy the best meat and how to cook it on charcoal. We are so impressed, thank you ”
“ Myself and my boyfriend visited this restaurant on our last night in mlini. By far the best meal we had on holiday! Staff were very friendly and welcoming accompanied by a beautiful view. My partner had the steak and I had grilled squid. We shared and octopus salad for starter and a bottle of the house white wine. Tiramisu each for dessert! The fish was very fresh and delicious and the steak was delicious too with great flavours in all courses. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re staying in mlini. The bill came to 84 euros which we thought was very reasonable. Would definitely return. ”
“ Beautiful location along the pine forest walls. Entertainment was on when we were there. Food was lovely. Like all the restaurants along the front we thought was expensive. Average of €80 for two. ”
