Konoba Jure is the kind of place locals will point you to when you ask where they actually eat. A family-run tavern on the edge of the old town, it serves generous portions of traditional Istrian home cooking — handmade fuzi and gnocchi, truffle dishes, wild boar goulash, grilled lamb, and seasonal vegetables from nearby farms.

The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, with a covered terrace for summer evenings. Prices are fair for the quality and portion sizes. Listed in the Gault&Millau guide. Reservations recommended, especially on weekends.
