Konoba Augusta Insula

Set in the wooded bay of Zaklopatica around 3km from Lastovo village, this authentic rustic taverna run by the Jurica family specialises in delicious lobsters seemingly kept by the dock as pets. Prepared in the traditional way, under a cooking bell and slow-baked under hot coals, they make for a stellar, leisurely meal. An alternative would be to have the lobster with spaghetti, house-style. The waiter might also recommend the slow-cooked lamb, grilled squid in a signature sauce or fresh octopus salad. Don’t miss out on the excellent home-made wine from the nearby family vineyards.
