“ The best restaurant in preko and whole Croatia ???????? . I think we never ever ate so good in Croatia. It is family owned, and you feel it 100%. It is an absolute great place for fresh fish. In our 10 days holidays, we went here 4 times, as we loved it so much. Reservation is needed. Ronaldo the waiter is an amazing, caring and fun guy. I need to eat glutenfree and they are very skilled, they know what is glutenfree and if not how to change the recipe a bit to make it glutenfree. 100% recommendation. We loved it! ”
“ We came to Ugljan after work on the day of national holiday ( Oluja) not all restaurants are open then, so we chose by chance. The quality of food is excellent! Pljeskavica and crni rižot were absolutely fantastic! The food is worth its price. We were served professionally. The free starter is delicious too. The cats there are so cute ”
“ I've been eating at Taverna Joso and have recommended it to a lot of friends, guests, and family members for many years with no complaints. However, things must be really tough for them now..! Hidden charges which only appear after you receive the bill...! The tuna paté used to be complimentary, and the olive oil was never previously charged for. On this occasion, a drizzle cost €3.00 These underhand business methods will only deter customers. I certainly won't return. ”
“ What a hidden gem! We ordered the fish/seafood platter for two. Before our meal came out, our server brought us some tuna pate/ salad and anchovies with red onion. I do NOT like tuna pate, but my husband encouraged me to try it. I tried a tiny bit on bread and really liked it! Then, they brought out our seafood platter. Oh my goodness! It was delicious…prawns, mussels, tuna, sea bass, calamari and Swiss chard with potatoes. Everything was delicious. Once again, I do NOT like fish. However, my husband encouraged me to try it. I honestly can’t believe that I liked it! We highly recommend you don’t miss this place for lunch or dinner! ”
