What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gavuni Restaurant & Konoba is highly praised for its exceptional seafood, stunning waterfront location, and friendly, family-run atmosphere. Diners rave about dishes like grilled octopus, seafood risotto, and homemade bread. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few reviews mention slow service or occasional inconsistencies in food quality.
"Stoped at this place based on the recommendations of google maps, and couldn’t be happier about the food we had there. I tried the black risotto and the octopus salad. Both dishes were amazing and nothing to complain about. The view of this place was one of the most amazing you could possibly find. I was completely in awe."
Kamila Peñaloza
"We stopped by for lunch during our Korcula private boat excursion. We were warmly welcomed and served quick. The food was excellent with varying options but the seafood was the pick with local caught fish and seafood from around the island. We enjoyed the fish, grilled squid and squid ink risotto. Highly recommended."
Cameron and Adriana
"What an experience!!! Recommended by a local. Huge portions and reasonable prices. Some of the best food we have ever tried (and we’ve travelled a lot). Would put this at the top 3 restaurants we’ve ever been to. Monika who is one of the owners and also was our waitress is amazing. Family run business, organized, very well run. We loved it so much we came 2 nights in a row. 7 people 2 nights we did not have one complaint. Fresh vegetables from their garden, sea to table seafood and local meat. Amazing family run restaurant amazing food."

Lumbarda Food Guide: Must try dishes and restaurants
This is one of the island’s best seafood places on Korcula and has such lovely service. Gavuni is in a perfect location right on the water in a quiet bay in Lumbarda. You can sit inside right on the edge of the sea, or if it’s sunny they have a cool interior.

Some guests, when they discover it, don’t move from there for days. Which is kind of sad if you consider other great places, so don’t visit Gavuni too early on your holiday :)

It is a small fish “fast food” (in a good way, very healthy and fresh food) at the edge of the peaceful bay, with perfect setting along a turquoise sea.
