Konoba Bare

Our story

The island where time stands still

As early as the Middle Ages, Prvić was a refuge for the aristocracy of Šibenik: a place to escape the bustle of the city and the plague on the mainland. The noble families Tavelić, Divnić, Šižgorić and Draganić-Vrančić built their summer villas here, and the Renaissance manor of the Draganić-Vrančić family still stands in Šepurine today.

Centuries later, the island still works to the same recipe: steep lanes, the church bell, and a sea that outvoices them all. Nobody ends up here by accident. You come because you are looking for exactly this kind of peace.

Bare is a family konoba, here since 2008. All year round the doors are open as a café bar, a place where the island slows down over coffee with the sea in front of it. In summer we become a konoba and pizzeria, with tables full of guests who sailed over on the Lara boat line looking for that same peace.

On the table are cold platters of the sea: salt-cured sardines, smoked tuna, poached swordfish and our homemade tuna pâté, alongside prosciutto, cheese and olives. Octopus and meat ispod peke (under the iron bell) are prepared to order, a day ahead, because good things here are worth waiting for. And for a longer table and the whole family, there is pizza.

Welcome to our konoba, and to our island.
