We stayed in Bale during our trip to Istria and we ended up eating in this restaurant almost every night. The price/quality was outstanding and we enjoyed trying many of the different dishes. The waiter, Marko, was helpful and friendly and he made time for us each evening. Highlights from the menu include the whole grilled sea bass, the mixed grilled meats and the turkey pljeskavica. They also serve beer from a local microbrewery called Kampanjola that has a really excellent pale ale.
