Restaurant Oliva - Island Ilovik

Island of flowers

ILOVIK

The villagers of Ilovik are engaged in wine growing and market gardening facilitated by the large number of wells which supply this land with water; they also work in fishing, sheepfarming and tourism.

The location of Ilovik is ideal, situated in a small bay and protected from the north by the uninhabited islet of St. Peter where the local cemetary is located.

The coast is easily accessible from all sides with numerous safe gentle coves. The largest cove with a sandy beach is Paržine on the south eastern side of the island.

There are shops, a post office, bakery, patisserie and several catering establishments on the island.

OUR STORY

ABOUT US

It has been 7 years since the establishment of our tavern and you may still be wondering what kind of connections with Ilovik restaurant have a few guys from Rijeka: an IT/motorcyclist/trader and an economist/football player/singer?

All we do is done with ease and honor and we give our best to achieve the best results.

We believe that Ilovik and his visitors deserve to have a tavern that will show a respectable example of sustainable development with its rustic history, autochthonous appearance and perfect combination of traditional seafood dishes and drinks.

We are proud to announce that it is also achievable.

Our knowledge, experience, passion and love for gastronomy would be impossible to accomplish without our friends and therefore we dedicate special gratitude to them; Jani and Marina, Kadri, Marty, Tonči, Gigio, Slaven, Igor, Ive, Jadranka, Tom, Luka.

And of course …dear guests, thank you for your trust.

What people

SAY ABOUT US

“EXCELLENT!”

This restaurant is by far the best in Ilovik. The food and ambiance are superb and sophisticated. The owners are involved in the preparation and service and make you feel welcome. Konoba Oliva could compete with a restaurant in Manhattan but with prices that are less than half of what you’d pay in the States, it’s also a great place for a late night drink with a unique romantic atmosphere.

“BEST RESTAURANT IN ILOVIK”

Grilled octopus for 2 – excellent, turkey tuna steak and pasta for kids – excellent as well, not to mention the dessert (chocollate cake), which was.. you know, excellent too. Must eat when you are in Ilovik.

``A MUST``

You will not go to Oliva for their fresf fish or sea view – they don’t have it
But you must go to Oliva for the excellent atmisphere, and delicious food, different from all the other average restaurants on the coast. They do haveexcellent adriatic squids and and octopus -which do not suffer when deep freezed, but theri “specials” are some very delicate north adriatic and istrian meals. With good wine and good music, you are sure to have an excellent dinner.,

``WONDERFUL MEAL``

We’d promised ourselves we’d visit this place on our next visit to Ilovik, and this was it! One street back from the seafront and with a strap line of ‘cooking with love’ it had to be tried, didn’t it?

Menu is different from your usual Croatian konoba, we had tri-coloured polenta with mushrooms and tartufata, followed by ravioli with bacon, cheese and radicchio (hubby) and calamari stuffed with scampi tails (me). All was served nicely and tasted divine.

Can heartily recommend and will visit again next year, or even tomorrow!
