Why go
Gonar is worth considering for a relaxed Rab meal when flexibility matters more than a documented chef, cuisine, or awards profile. Its Supetarska Draga location makes it more useful for a northern-island day than a central old-town dinner plan; compare Konoba Rab or Astoria Resturant if you want to stay closer to Rab's main evening circuit.
About Gonar
Gonar is a Rab option with daily hours from 12–11 PM and a casual dress code. Use it when the plan calls for a relaxed, practical meal in Rab rather than a venue chosen for awards, a named chef, a specific cuisine style, or a clear price range.
For planning, the useful question is not whether Gonar is a heavily documented booking. It is best approached as a direct choice for diners who value timing and simplicity. If the visit depends on a specific menu, dietary accommodation, service format, or price point, confirm directly before going.
Use it for an easy meal, not a high-stakes reservation
The clearest advantages are practical: Gonar is in Rab, opens daily from 12–11 PM, and has a casual dress code. That makes it easier to fit into a flexible day than a restaurant that requires more formal planning.
Because the price range, chef, cuisine type, menu format, and awards are not central to the decision, the choice should stay practical. This is not the place to choose when someone in the group wants a researched, menu-driven meal with clear credentials. It is better for visitors who want another option in the rotation, especially when the priority is uncomplicated timing rather than a destination dinner.
Where it fits in a Rab shortlist
If the group wants comparison context, compare it with Konoba Rab or Astoria Resturant. Gonar makes the most sense when its daily 12–11 PM hours and casual tone fit the plan.

Quick reference: Casual Rab option with daily 12–11 PM hours, strongest when timing and simplicity matter more than menu credentials.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Gonar sits quietly within Supetarska Draga’s small harbour community, favoring a restrained, island-rooted presence over tourist theatrics. The tone is unhurried and locally attentive: menus reflect fish landed nearby, lamb from the island interior and produce shaped by the bora wind and limestone soil. Dining here feels considered rather than staged — the kind of place that depends on repeat local custom and returning visitors more than fleeting walk-ins. Expect low-key service, simple but purposeful plates and an emphasis on provenance that places the setting’s geography at the center of the experience.
Best For
Gonar is best for people who want a relaxed, authentic island meal away from Rab Town’s busier terraces. It suits couples and families looking for a quiet dinner, returning visitors who seek consistent local cooking, and small groups who appreciate seasonal seafood and regional lamb. The village setting makes it a good stop for a meaningful lunch or an early evening dinner after exploring the northern shore. Because the restaurant operates within a lower-footfall community, the experience rewards diners who value ingredient-driven cooking and an unpretentious seaside atmosphere.
Ordering Tips
Order with the day’s catch and local ingredients in mind: the writing emphasizes fresh fish landed close by and lamb from the island interior, so ask the staff for the catch of the day and any island specialties. Seasonal produce figures heavily, so let servers point you to vegetables or preparations that reflect current supply. The description also suggests limited walk-in turnover, so consider reserving in advance during peak season or if you’re traveling from Rab Town. Keep expectations aligned with island cooking — focused, ingredient-led plates rather than a broad tourist menu.

Where to go if Gonar does not fit
Try Konoba Rab if the group wants a Rab-town alternative with a more central-feeling plan. Choose Astoria Resturant when the priority is staying close to the town's evening route rather than building the meal around Supetarska Draga.
Restaurant context
How Gonar compares in Rab
Gonar is the practical choice when ease matters: it suits a flexible island schedule better than a tightly planned dinner. Against More, Belveder, and Borik, the decision comes down less to a proven price tier and more to convenience, since confirmed pricing and menu positioning are not supplied for this set.
For Rab-centred plans, Astoria Resturant and Konoba Rab are the cleaner cross-shops if the group wants to stay in the town orbit. Gonar is better when the day is already pointing toward Supetarska Draga or when a lower-pressure booking feels more useful than a central address.
Value is hard to rank without confirmed price ranges, so do not treat Gonar as an automatic bargain or splurge. Treat it as the easiest fit for a casual, timing-led Rab meal, while Astoria Resturant and Konoba Rab are safer alternatives for diners prioritising location and a more familiar town-night format.
