Restaurant in Murter, Croatia
Michelin-backed seafood, book for summer.
Konoba Boba holds a 2025 Michelin Plate and a 4.6 Google rating, making it the strongest dining option on the island of Murter. The kitchen specialises in raw tuna and Mediterranean seafood, backed by an on-site garden and a Croatian-focused wine list. At €€€, it delivers Michelin-level cooking at a price well below comparable restaurants in Dubrovnik or Šibenik.
Konoba Boba earns its 2025 Michelin Plate and a 4.6 Google rating across 758 reviews, and it is one of the most convincing arguments for making Murter your Dalmatian base rather than a day trip. The kitchen garden, the raw tuna focus, and the all-Croatian wine list give you a specific, well-executed experience that is hard to replicate elsewhere on the island. Book it for your first evening in town, then plan a return visit to work through the rest of the menu. For explorers who want Michelin-level cooking without the formality of Dubrovnik or Šibenik, this is the right call.
Murter sits at the edge of the Kornati archipelago, connected to the mainland by a short bridge, and Konoba Boba sits at the edge of what serious eating looks like on this part of the Dalmatian coast. The name signals a traditional tavern, and the setting delivers enough informality to feel genuinely local, but the kitchen operates at a level that belongs in a different conversation. Think warm room, outdoor terrace for summer dining, and a team described by Michelin inspectors as young and dynamic — the energy here is attentive without being stiff. On busy summer evenings the atmosphere is animated rather than hushed, so if you want a quiet conversation, arrive early or target shoulder season.
The cuisine is Mediterranean in focus, with raw fish at its centre. Tuna — prepared multiple ways , is the house speciality, and this is the primary reason to come. Dalmatian tuna preparations tend toward simplicity, letting the quality of the catch and the seasoning do the work, and the kitchen garden supplies the herbs and produce that frame those dishes: marjoram, oregano, basil, rosemary, mint, and parsley are all grown on site. The result is a coherence between kitchen and garden that you notice in the freshness of the plates. Meat dishes appear on the menu but are secondary. If you are not here for seafood and raw fish, you are not here for the right reasons.
The wine list skews strongly toward Dalmatia and broader Croatia, which is the correct choice for this setting. Croatian white wines , pošip, grk, and debit, among others , are still underexposed in international markets, and a list built around them is both a practical asset and an education. For explorers who track regional wine programs alongside food, this alone justifies a seat at the table.
First visit: anchor on the raw tuna specialities and order from the seafood-forward section of the menu. Let the kitchen garden herbs guide your choices , the fresher the herb, the more the dish will show off what makes Konoba Boba worth the trip. Pair with a local white from the Dalmatian section of the wine list.
Second visit: move into the cooked fish preparations and explore further along the Croatian wine list. The Michelin Plate recognition suggests consistent quality across the menu, not just the headline dishes. A second visit is the right moment to test that breadth , and to sit on the outdoor terrace if you missed it first time.
Third visit, or for explorers who want maximum depth: bring a group and order widely. The intimate dining room means seat count is limited, so larger parties should plan ahead. A third visit with multiple diners allows you to cross-reference dishes and compare the kitchen's range in a single sitting. Konoba Boba is the kind of place that rewards this approach , the specificity of the sourcing and the wine program give you more to discover than a single meal can cover.
Booking difficulty: Easy , reservations are recommended in peak summer (July and August) when Murter fills with visitors heading to the Kornati islands, but outside those months the restaurant is accessible without far-in-advance planning. Price range: €€€ , in line with Michelin Plate-level dining in Croatia, and notably more accessible than the €€€€ tier you would pay at Restaurant 360 in Dubrovnik or Pelegrini in Šibenik. Dress code: Not specified, but the elegant-yet-relaxed feel of a quality konoba suggests smart casual is appropriate , not formal, but not beachwear either. Location: Boba, 22244 Murter, Croatia , reachable by car from the mainland via the bridge at Tisno; no ferry required. Hours and phone: Not currently listed , confirm via local booking platforms or on arrival in Murter.
Michelin-recognised modern Croatian cooking is more concentrated than you might expect. On the coast, you have Agli Amici Rovinj in Istria, Laganini Lounge Bar and Fish House in Hvar, and LD Restaurant in Korčula offering different takes on Adriatic cooking. Inland, Noel in Zagreb and Korak in Jastrebarsko anchor the continental side. For island-hopping food explorers, Boskinac in Novalja on Pag and Alfred Keller in Mali Lošinj are both worth plotting onto a northern Adriatic itinerary. Konoba Boba occupies a specific niche in this network: Michelin-recognised, tuna-focused, garden-sourced, and priced at €€€ rather than the premium tier. In that niche, it has few direct competitors on its own island. For context on how Croatian cooking connects to broader European modern cuisine, Nebo by Deni Srdoč in Rijeka and Krug in Split are useful reference points before or after a Murter visit. If you want to benchmark the Michelin Plate standard against a higher tier of European modern cuisine, Frantzén in Stockholm and Maison Lameloise in Chagny give you the calibration.

Comparing your options in Murter for this tier.
Konoba Boba is the only Michelin-recognised option on the island of Murter itself, which makes it the default choice if you are already on the island or heading to the Kornati. For a broader range of Michelin-level Dalmatian dining, Pelegrini in Šibenik and Restaurant 360 in Dubrovnik are the closest peers with comparable credentials, though both require a longer drive. If you are working a coastal circuit, Foša in Zadar is a shorter detour.
The venue data does not confirm a fixed tasting menu format, so this is not something to plan around sight unseen. What the Michelin listing does confirm is a seafood-forward kitchen with raw tuna as the house speciality and kitchen garden produce running through the menu. At the €€€ price range, the strongest case for value is ordering à la carte and anchoring on those seafood specialities rather than assuming a set menu structure.
Raw tuna is the explicit house speciality flagged by Michelin, so start there. The kitchen garden supplies the herbs and produce, so dishes that highlight marjoram, basil, oregano, or rosemary are worth seeking out. The wine list leans into Dalmatian producers, which pairs well with the seafood-heavy menu. Meat dishes are on the menu but are a smaller part of the offer.
Yes, with some caveats. The Michelin Plate, intimate dining room, and outdoor summer terrace give it the right setting for a celebratory dinner. The €€€ price point signals a proper restaurant spend rather than a casual tavern, despite the konoba name. Book a table outdoors if you are visiting in summer, and call ahead to confirm availability, as July and August are peak months for Murter.
It reads as a tavern in name but operates as a proper restaurant in practice, with an intimate dining room and a Michelin Plate since 2025. The kitchen garden is central to the kitchen's identity, not a decorative detail. Reservations are recommended in July and August when the island is busiest. The Dalmatian wine list is deliberately curated, so asking for a local pairing recommendation is worth doing.
The Michelin description calls it elegant in feel, which means resort-casual at minimum: clean, presentable clothes that fit a proper dinner rather than a beach stop. There is no formal dress code on record, but the €€€ price point and intimate setting suggest you should dress as you would for a serious dinner rather than a harbour-side grill.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
