"Not only does Humska Konoba have a covered terrace with dazzling views of Istria’s hill-strewn hinterland, but the restaurant is also located in one of the world’s smallest towns and serves some of the most honest, delicious Istrian cuisine you’ll find anywhere on the peninsula. Whether you opt for maneštra (a rich, local take on minestrone) or a fritaja (an omelet with truffles or wild asparagus in spring), you’re in for a treat at this hilltop favorite."

"Right outside the town gate, this is a well-touristed konoba that keeps things simple and does them rather well. Choose between pasta with truffles, ombolo pork chop, or succulent sausages, with optional side portions of bacon-flavoured sauerkraut."
"Also, you shouldn't miss out on trying the widely known Istarska supa."
"My egg white omelet overflowed with tiny, tiny, wild asparagus. They packed the flavor intensity of a scrappy small dog that thinks he’s a Great Dane. It was delicious."
