Humska Konoba is a traditional Istrian restaurant located in Hum, Croatia’s smallest town. The restaurant specializes in serving traditional dishes of Istrian “cucina povera” or peasant cuisine, made with fresh and locally sourced ingredients.

Outstanding Meals and Service

The cold appetizers, including homemade prosciutto, dry sausages, and ombolo, are outstanding, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to traditional and high-quality ingredients. Their mixed sheep and cow cheese and truffle cheese are also excellent, with a creamy texture and complex taste.

The warm appetizers, such as the frittata with mushrooms and prosciutto, are also well-executed and so delicious. Fuži pasta is tender and cooked perfectly, and the goulash is rich and aromatic. So whatever you choose – you won’t regret!

Specialty of Humska Konoba – Kroštuli

One of the specialties of Humska Konoba is kroštule, a Croatian festival pastry noticeable by its shape and the obligatory ingredient, homemade rakija (schnapps). A simplified version includes thinly rolled dough cut into strips and wrapped in the shape of a “fjok” (bow). The next step is to fry kroštule in hot oil and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. This sweet and crunchy dessert goes perfectly with a nice cup of coffee or a glass of white wine Muškat.
