Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

nice cozy small local restaurant. not far away from the city but you can have local Croatian delicious food. many locals come here. The food is tasty and the stuff is so helpful. The food is not pricey. l tried the beef tripe soup, very...delicious and tender. Highly recommend. The sour carriage with beans is also nice but a bit sour for me. l eat with spaghetti.More

We really enjoyed our meal at Buffet Simun. The portion sizes were very generous, the food was tasty and the wine was delicious as well. The price was more affordable than other restaurants in the area. Our waiter was friendly and gave good recommendations on...what to try, we also enjoyed a digestif shot on the house when we went inside to pay. Would recommend to others!More

Good food and plenty of it, but that's it. Small family restaurant with cozy atmosphere which seems to be the locals' favorite and therefore the regulars are more valued than tourists. I say that because we have made a reservation for 19:00 and when we...showed up there were no tables free - yet at least 3 tables seems to have just been seated minutes ago with locals (they were still reading the menus). We had to wait (literally in the street) and we finally got seated about 20 minutes later. Food arrived after about 50 minutes (small kitchen and 3 tables of regulars seated just ahead of us...) - not great for a family with hungry kids. The food was good - noting memorable, with lots of local specialties and big portions for very very decent prices. They don't take card payment and "forgot" to mention this from the start (luckily an ATM is just around the corner).More

I am amazed by the price and the quality of the food. The "pashticade" was amazing and the staff was very nice and friendly. The waiter Pashko was very professional and polite. All in all it was a wonderful experience!

Best paštikejd in Croatia. It was so good I didnt have time to take a photo! Very friendly staff. Our waiter Paško was great and told us some great stories about Šibenik and its amazing history. Also best radler in town!

Unfortunately we had a bad experience that was not at all in accordance with all these raving reviews. Not to go into much detail but all the food we ate was flavorless, watered down, unsalted, overcooked. There are much better places to try authentic Croatian...food! Even though the prices are relatively low, I’d suggest you spend your money elsewhere. The staff was very friendly though and the atmosphere very casual.More

If you don't know the place you probably wouldn't stop, the window is nothing special, but it's for the best. It has become harder and harder to find place at Buffet Simun during high season. The place is nothing fancy, but if you're able to...have a seat in the backyard you will feel at home. If you want to eat delicious Croatian dishes, with a lot of choice and prepared like your grandmother would do, then come here. Staff is kind and prices are great. It's a place where to come at least once every time you come in Sibenik.More

Yes, they absolutely do - suggest booking an outside table (but I'm sure you can always get a table inside by just walking up).
