Exceptional food with excellent service in lovely atmosphere. Had the five course menu which was very delicious with wine pairing, however the portions were way too big. Wonderful culinary experience. Definitely recommended. The food at Konoba Buščina is excellent, no doubt about it. However, the ratio between the main dish and the side dishes is completely off. Portions are small when it comes to the main meat or fish, while the sides are overly generous—almost overwhelming. Considering the portion sizes, the prices are definitely above average. If they focused on serving smaller sides and more substantial portions of the main course, the experience would be fantastic. Great quality, just needs a bit more balance on the plate. A very lovely place! The restaurant has a charming and cozy summer terrace, perfect for spending time. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and every dish was delicious and well thought out. I was especially pleased with the wine by the glass — excellent quality, which is quite rare. The service was outstanding: fast, attentive, and very friendly. I highly recommend it to all lovers of great cuisine and a pleasant atmosphere! Top Konoba, simply a wonderful experience! Great food accompanied by a great service and a beautifully designed terrace. Upscale cuisine at very reasonable prices. Excellent! We had a fantastic meal here on our holiday and would love to return again. Our sharing seafood starter was one of the best we have had and we thoroughly enjoyed. Our mains were delightful and well cooked, full of flavour. Wines and beer were great. Above all, service and ambience were 10/10. Our waiter was so friendly and really made the experience memorable. We also found to be well priced! After a very long time we visited Buščina last night. It is more than a traditional konoba. The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff is friendly and the food is heavenly. We opted for meat and started with a plate of local cuts and cheeses. Then we shared local “fuži” pasta with “boškarin” (local ox) stew. We have tasted so many similar dishes around Istria but this plate exceeded them all! Finally we shared slowly braised beef with creamy potatoes. Also very very good. We had no room for dessert. It was a bit pricey, but well worth it. Well done! Highly tecommended. This restaurant never disappoints! Every visit is a true culinary experience. The scallops with truffles as a starter are simply divine – delicate, rich in flavor, and perfectly balanced. The baked fish is outstanding, cooked to perfection with incredible taste and freshness. To finish, the pistachio soufflé with ice cream is absolutely top-notch – light, flavorful, and the perfect ending to a memorable meal. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates fine dining and consistency in quality. For me, Konoba Buščina is more than a restaurant – it’s an institution, a ritual, a place that never disappoints. Even on a gloomy Sunday, when the weekend slips away and you arrive in a half-grumpy mood, the very act of parking in front of Buščina already turns the day around. A garden like a film set, an interior even more refined, staff that move with the precision of a well-rehearsed play. And the food – flawless, as always. Scallops that sing of the sea, seasonal porcini mushrooms that taste like autumn distilled, a beef tenderloin steak without a single false note. Yes, perhaps a few more vegetables than two lonely slices of zucchini would help, but that’s a footnote, not a critique. Today, Buščina didn’t just serve us dinner – it elevated what was already a wonderful day in a slightly autumnal Istria, for me and for my wife, into something memorable.
