About us and the history of the restaurant
A siesta after a lunch behind Obala, 1938.
This is the Humbert Frka, founder of our restaurant, back in 1938. taking a siesta after a busy lunch.
He was a maritime cook before moving to the island of Lopud with his family to settle down. As the war came not long after the opening, the restaurant was opened for 2 years.
The foundation of the restaurant has stayed the same since then. Quality ingredients prepared in a traditional way, the way humbert would’ve been proud, 90 years after opening Obala.
It is ran now by his great grandson.
The terrace has remained unchanged. Well, with minor adjustments to make the experience even more enjoyable. We strive to keep the legacy untouched, while only adding to it by making the experience of our guests authentic.
