Found out about Kod Jose from the “Split - In Your Pocket” booklet I picked from the office of tourism. It was described as “…absolutely delicious traditional food, … decent price… green pasta with shells is a knock out”.
Well, 2 of the 4 items...ordered were not available (sea food salad and liver). The octopus salad was exceedingly bland. The 125ml of house white wine, was mediocre, and overpriced at nearly 40Kn. The slow cooked beef tasted overpoweringly of celery salt. The green pasta came with 8 mussels and one (very sandy!) scampi. The pasta was nothing special, and the sauce/broth it came with was exceedingly salty! The handful of clams was nice though. For a total bill of 350 Kn, it was very much a disappointment.
However, the table next to ours had pre-ordered a dish that looked fantastic, roasted octopus with potatoes (hobotnica ispod peke?) and they were very pleased with it. Wish it had been available for us!More
