In the centre of Barbat on the island of Rab, right next to the church, on the sea shore, on the remains of an old Benedictine monastery there is the family-run hotel-restaurant Barbat. Here, right on the sea shore you will meet the spirit of ancient, somewhat forgotten, times, nostalgic beauty, authenticity and quietness, incorporated in the harmony of old stone architecture and aromatic Mediterranean herbs. Amphorae and stone vessels, old grape and olive press tell stories of our ancestors’ era. It is in such ambience that your gastronomic pleasure starts.

The particularity of the offer are delicacies which are the result of the momentous chef’s inspiration, based on daily fresh fish caught by local fishermen, seasonal vegetables from the island market and lamb from Rab meadows. You can choose your own lobster or other crab, still alive from their cage in the sea. Olive oil and herbs are home grown and made. Creation of dishes and the wine list have been designed by the family members emphasizing the experience and peculiarities of the island cuisine.

Your view of the fish and crab swimming around the wreck of and an old ship and amphorae in the large aquarium next to your table, make you feel even more relaxed.

Restaurant Barbat has been the winner of the award for the most beautiful terrace on the island of Rab for a number of years and the winner of other awards for its cuisine and hotel quality.
