Where to eat in Igalo
Igalo's widest choice of food sits close to the sea, but a waterfront terrace alone does not make a restaurant worth choosing.

This guide matches each type of meal with a specific place and the dish that makes it worth visiting.

Choose Ilijada or Jedrenjak for a fish lunch, Babić for grilled meat, and Bel Paese for Neapolitan pizza. Tajna covers morning burek and pastries, Do-Do coffee and gelato, while Seki Nautilus and Perla Gastronomy Art have broader menus for a group or family.
