Gault&Millau's review 2026

Restaurant Fešta on the island of Žut, located near the Kornati National Park, offers an experience that perfectly combines authentic Dalmatian cuisine, top-quality ingredients and a memorable atmosphere. The appetizer itself makes it clear that this is a cuisine that respects the sea and local tradition. The selection of various carpaccio of oily and white fish, delivered daily by local fishermen, is exceptionally fresh and precisely prepared. A special dimension is given by the emulsions and marmalades made from indigenous fruits and vegetables, which do not overpower the fish, but rather elegantly complement it. Each combination is well thought out and balanced. The lobster risotto is the highlight of the middle of the menu. Rich, creamy and full of flavour, with a clearly pronounced lobster aroma. The saffron gives the refined warmth and colour, the cherry tomatoes bring freshness and mild acidity, while the fresh parsley rounds out the dish and gives a Mediterranean lightness. This is a dish that is both luxurious and unobtrusive. For the main course, a red gurnard baked in a bread oven brings you back to the roots of traditional cuisine. The fish is juicy, soft and full of flavour, and the roasted potatoes and home-grown vegetables absorb the aroma of the roasting and give a rustic, but extremely pleasant finish. Simple, honest, it was perfectly executed. As ideal refreshment at the end, comes a selection of homemade sorbets and ice creams, light, natural and aromatic that clean the palate and round off the entire gastronomic experience. Fešta on the island of Žut is not just a restaurant, but a destination for those who want to feel the spirit of Kornati through food. The combination of top-quality local ingredients, respect for tradition and modern culinary precision makes this place a must for every true lover of gastronomy.
