Restaurant Grill Bar Robinzon Biševo – Lunch by the Blue Cave
Restaurant Grill Bar Robinzon is situated in Mezuporat on the eastern side of Biševo, right next to the area from which small boats depart for the Blue Cave. Unlike cafés and snack bars in the same part of the cove, Robinzon has a wider food selection and is a better choice for those looking to have a proper lunch while exploring Biševo, rather than just stopping for coffee or a sandwich.
Its location is its greatest advantage. After arriving by boat from Komiža and visiting the Blue Cave, there is no need to go to another part of the island to find something to eat. The restaurant is located right in Mezuporat, just a few steps from the sea and the main tourist route to the cave.
It is most suitable for guests who want simple grill, fish, squid, or meat dishes before continuing to Porat, Salbunari, or returning to Komiža.
What is served at Grill Bar Robinzon?
The menu is broader than that of a typical café bar and combines fish, seafood, meat, and simple grill dishes.
Among the dishes currently offered are tuna, squid, fish, seafood, chicken, pork, and ćevapi, along with salads, fries, and other simple sides.
Sandwiches and similar quick meals are also available, so Robinzon can serve guests who do not wish to sit down for a long lunch.
This is not a tavern where one primarily comes for a multi-hour dinner, peka, or a specially crafted fish menu. The offerings are tailored to the character of Mezuporat – a large number of guests arrive by boat, visit the Blue Cave, and then continue on.
Therefore, grill, fish, squid, and simple meat dishes are the most logical choices.
A Good Choice for Lunch After the Blue Cave
Robinzon is particularly well-suited for a schedule where the Blue Cave is visited in the morning, and after returning to Mezuporat, guests can stay for lunch.
This is practical as there is no need to board the boat again or immediately walk across Biševo.
The Blue Cave is visited by small official boats departing from Mezuporat, and the visit itself is relatively short. After returning, guests can sit down for lunch and then decide how to continue their day.
If planning only a short visit to Biševo before returning to Komiža, Robinzon is one of the simplest choices for a more substantial meal due to its location.
If staying on the island all day, it is worth continuing to the western side of Biševo after lunch.
Mezuporat is the Busiest Part of Biševo
One should have realistic expectations of the atmosphere.
Mezuporat is not a hidden cove where no one is around all day. It is the main tourist hub for the Blue Cave, so during summer mornings and early afternoons, it can be quite lively.
Boats arrive from Komiža, speedboats with organized tours, and private vessels, while small boats continuously transport guests to the cave.
Robinzon is located right in the middle of this island rhythm.
This has a significant practical advantage, but it means that the restaurant is not a place to expect complete silence during midday.
For someone who wants to eat without straying from the departure point for the Blue Cave, the location is excellent. For a quieter multi-hour lunch by the sandy beach, Porat offers a different atmosphere.
Terrace and Sea View
The restaurant has an outdoor seating area, which is fitting as the entire stay on Biševo during the summer takes place by the sea and outdoors.
From Mezuporat, there is a view of the small cove and the boats that dock during the day.
It is most pleasant to sit in the shade after a boat ride or a visit to the cave, especially in July and August when the sun in this part of Biševo can be very strong.
The atmosphere is informal and excursion-like. There is no need to dress up or plan a formal visit to the restaurant – most guests come directly from the boat or after swimming.
How to Get to Robinzon?
Access to the restaurant is not by car.
Biševo does not have a ferry connection for tourist vehicles nor a road network like that on Vis. The island is accessed by boat, and Mezuporat is one of the main ports.
The simplest departure point is Komiža.
From Komiža, one can reach Biševo via a regular boat line, taxi boat, private vessel, or organized trip to the Blue Cave.
If the Blue Cave is part of the excursion, there is no need to specifically look for the restaurant – it is located right in the area through which visitors pass during their visit.
Arrival via Regular Line from Komiža
Biševo can also be explored without an organized tour.
A regular boat line connects Komiža with Mezuporat, Salbunari, and Porat, making it easy to plan a full-day trip.
One option is to sail to Mezuporat, visit the Blue Cave, have lunch at Robinzon, and then continue to Porat or Salbunari.
The other option is to head directly to the western side of the island after the cave and spend most of the day there.
In both cases, it is advisable to check the seasonal timetable and especially the time of the last return to Komiža before departure.
Robinzon or Café by the Blue Cave?
There are several dining establishments in Mezuporat, but not all offer the same type of service.
If one only wants coffee, a cold drink, or a short break, the café bars by the port are quite sufficient.
If a more substantial lunch is desired, Robinzon makes more sense as it offers fish, squid, tuna, meat, and other grill dishes.
This is actually its most important distinction.
There is no need to present every establishment in Mezuporat as a restaurant of the same kind. Robinzon is more focused on food, while the surrounding café bars are more practical for drinks and a short wait before visiting the cave.
Robinzon or Taverns in Porat?
If staying on Biševo all day, it is worth considering another option.
Porat is located on the opposite, western side of the island and has a large sandy beach, a long shallow area, and more natural shade. There are also small island restaurants like Kod Jakše and Konoba Tomić.
The difference is primarily in the experience.
Robinzon is more practical when one wants to eat immediately after the Blue Cave, without an additional trip around the island.
Porat is better if lunch is to be combined with several hours of swimming on the sandy beach and a slower stay on Biševo.
Both options make sense, just for a different plan for the day.
Can one continue on foot after lunch?
Yes. Biševo is crisscrossed with old island paths, and walking is one of the best ways to see more than just the Blue Cave.
From Mezuporat, one can head towards Poju and the interior of Biševo, and further connect to Porat and Salbunari.
For such a walk, good sandals or sneakers, enough water, and sun protection are necessary.
In July and August, it is not advisable to embark on a longer walk immediately after lunch in the strongest sun. Mornings and later afternoons are much more pleasant.
Is Robinzon Suitable for Families with Children?
Yes, especially since the menu is not limited to just fish and seafood.
Alongside fish dishes, there are chicken, meat, ćevapi, fries, sandwiches, and other simpler dishes, making it easier to find something for children who are not interested in fish.
The location in Mezuporat is also practical as there is no long walk to the restaurant after visiting the Blue Cave.
If a proper swim with children is desired after lunch, it is best to continue to Porat Beach, where the sand and long shallow water are much more suitable for family stays.
Working Hours and Season
Robinzon is a seasonal establishment, closely linked to summer traffic to the Blue Cave.
During the main part of the season, current information indicates operation from morning until evening, allowing for lunch, a later meal, or drinks.
However, it is not advisable to rely long-term on a published schedule on Biševo.
The start and end of the season, weather conditions, and the number of boat lines can affect the operation of dining establishments, so outside of July and August, it is advisable to check the working hours shortly before arrival.
Is Reservation Necessary?
For two or smaller groups visiting during a typical day, reservation is usually not critical.
For larger groups during July and August, it makes sense to check availability in advance, especially if the lunch time coincides with the peak visitor wave to the Blue Cave.
Biševo is a small island, so the number of guests in Mezuporat can significantly increase in a very short time when several excursion boats arrive simultaneously.
A Practical Restaurant in the Right Place
Restaurant Grill Bar Robinzon is best viewed as a practical place for a substantial meal during a visit to the Blue Cave.
Its main advantage is not romantic isolation or a large gastronomic offer, but the fact that it is located right where most guests pass during their visit to Biševo's most famous attraction.
After the boat from Komiža and the Blue Cave, one can sit down for tuna, squid, fish, or something from the grill, relax, and then continue to Porat, Salbunari, or back to Vis.
For a guest who does not want to organize the entire trip around the restaurant but simply seeks a good moment for lunch without straying from Mezuporat, Robinzon is one of the more practical choices in this part of Biševo.
