A sweet little restaurant decked out with rustic details and exposed stone walls, Šperun is a favourite among foreigners – possibly because the waiters, clad in sailor T-shirts, seem to speak every language under the sun. The food is classic Dalmatian, with a decent brujet (seafood stew) and grilled tuna with capers.
