A Long Lunch at Our Favourite Fish Restaurant on Luštica Peninsula

One of the things we enjoy most about life on Luštica Peninsula is discovering places that make you want to linger a little longer. This week, that place was Ribarsko Selo in Žanjice, a restaurant that has become one of our favourite spots for a long, leisurely lunch.

Perched on its own small headland, the restaurant enjoys spectacular views across the Adriatic towards the island of Lastavica and, on a clear day, the southernmost coastline of Croatia. It’s the sort of setting where time seems to slow down the moment you arrive.

Fresh Seafood and Adriatic Views

What makes Ribarsko Selo so special is its commitment to local produce. Fresh fish arrives daily from local fishing boats, many of the vegetables are grown on-site, and even the olive oil is produced by the restaurant itself.

We settled in for what turned into a very long lunch, enjoying beautifully prepared seafood, a good bottle of wine, and the kind of attentive service that makes you feel genuinely welcome. A special thank you to Alexander, who looked after us so well throughout the afternoon.

The combination of exceptional food, sea views, and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere makes it one of the standout dining experiences on the peninsula.

A Swim Before Heading Home

After lunch, there was no rush to leave. We spent some time relaxing on the restaurant’s sun loungers before taking a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear Adriatic.

It’s moments like these that remind us why we love Montenegro so much. Great food, beautiful scenery, and the simple pleasure of spending an afternoon by the sea.

If you’re exploring the area, you might also enjoy our adventures on Luštica Peninsula and Luštica Bay, where we share some of our other favourite spots around this beautiful corner of Montenegro.

Back to Lustica House

After our swim, we made the short journey home to Lustica House, perched above the fishing villages of Mirišta and Žanjice. It’s only a three-minute drive from the restaurant, although we’ve also walked it a few times when feeling energetic.

Back at the villa, we spent the evening on the terrace enjoying uninterrupted views across the Adriatic. Watching the sun begin to dip towards the horizon is the perfect way to round off a day like this.

With accommodation for up to eight guests, a private swimming pool, four comfortable bedrooms, three bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and terraces overlooking the coastline, it’s a wonderful base from which to explore the peninsula.

One of Our Favourite Places on the Peninsula

There are plenty of excellent restaurants in Montenegro, but Ribarsko Selo is one we find ourselves returning to again and again.

Perhaps it’s the setting, perhaps it’s the seafood, or perhaps it’s simply the relaxed atmosphere. Whatever the reason, it’s a place we always recommend to friends and guests visiting Luštica Peninsula.
