Konoba Pjatanca

Most delicious and tender lamb my family and I have ever tried! Make sure to make a reservation in advance so they can prepare the lamb 3 hours before. Lamb chops are absolutely incredible. If you enjoy fish the grilled fish was delicious and the small fried fish were also super tasty! Highly recommend if you are in Dubrovnik to go here!

Had dinner here twice. Restaurant has a lovely seaview. Had the fried small fish and pasticada the first night, and pre-ordered the traditional Croatian dish called Lamb under the Bell (had to reserve in advance 'cos it takes 3 hours to cook! Lamb is slow-roasted under an iron bell over hot cinders to absorb and concentrate the flavours) for the second night. Also had the Black Risotto. Verdict: excellent all round! Food is really good here. Service is friendly too. Great experience overall. Do bring along a jacket if you go in the Autumn as it could get a little chilly at night.

We had the pleasure of eating at Konoba Pjatanca twice. It took me 10 years to find traditional Peka on our ventures in Croatia! Family run, traditional Croatian restaurant with friendly servers. Lamb and potatoes, slowly roasted "under the bell" in hot coals. Tender and flavorful with crispy bits and melted fat. Delectable! 60€ Extremely rare to find is the Octopus Peka! Not on the menu as it seems less popular these days? Years ago, this meal was featured on an episode with Anthony Bourdain and a real treat to find… Octopus Peka requires a day to prepare with pre-order required. 80€. The most tender and flavorful octopus with yummy crispy bits. The potatoes take on a darker color with even more flavor than the lamb! Every guest is shown how the Peka is prepared in the hot coals. The house wine is good and a salad may be recommended to round out the meat & potatoes. Reservation by phone or Whatsapp, easy. Vhala!!!

We wanted to try a local dish where lamb is cooked under a Peka... Like a metal bell with hot embers over the top. Wow, what an experience. Juicy, tender lamb cooked with potatoes, served on a huge platter. IMPORTANT: You have to order in the afternoon for the evening meal, and leave a 20 € deposit, because the lamb takes 3 hours to cook. Lovely place to escape the crowds of the old town and right next to Banje Beach. Highly recommended 👍

Beautiful family run restaurant just outside of old town. We went up early in the day to preorder the Lamb (it takes 3 hours to prepare and must be ordered in advance) and it was well worth it! Absolutely delicious traditional Croatian dish cooked using traditional methods. They even let us have a look at the process of cooking! We had a wonderful experience here and highly recommend it if you are in the area!

Everything was nice . If you want to taste traditional foods than the other places in Dubrovnik in the castle . Rib eye didn’t look like rib eye though. Black risotto wasn’t “risotto” . Polite service .

We ordered the lamb one day before (you need to order at least 2 hours before). We took a small appetizer (cheese / ham). Very nice. Main dish (lamb peka), a local specialty was very nice & tasty. Service is very friendly, the view is nice and the food is excellent- what more could you wish for.

Food - Lamp Peka (Lamb Under the Bell) with potatoes (2/5) you have to order in advance (2-3 hours) for this. Lamb is tender and fatty. For those that don't eat lamb often, skip this. Flavor of lamb is very strong and after a few bites it was just too fatty and oily. We just couldn't eat anymore. I highly recommend getting refreshing or slightly vinegary appetizer to compliment the dish. At 70 Euro not sure if was worth the price but interesting food experience. It was definitely enough for two small-med size eaters Grill Vegetable (5/5) delicious grilled zucchini, eggplant l, tomato, and rice. Mussels (3/5) skip it was ok had better in the city. Mussels meat were tiny and sauce is ok. Service - Good, they even have you look at peka over the stove. Atmosphere - Great view overlook the ocean but beware of the swarm of the bees. We were constantly bother by them. Can't enjoy a few bites without having to shoo them away. One even drown in the mussels!!
