This local hangout, one of Split's most popular restaurants for years, offers traditional dishes commonly found on Dalmatian dinner tables. The food is hearty, filling, and affordable, with a daily selection of local specialties and plenty of fish dishes that include sardines, mackerel, and mullet.
One of the best fine dining restaurants on the Makarska Riviera, it's clear that time and care has gone into creating the wine pairing menu at Jeny and the expertise of the food preparation can hold a candle to many of Croatia's most awarded restaurants. A tasting menu, at 830 Kn per person, includes 7 plates and 6 wines. Located 3 km (2 miles) above Makarska in Tučepi on the road to Biokovo, it has a nice view overlooking the Makarska Riviera. The management is happy to call a taxi to bring you to the restaurant.
A funky garden restaurant, Konoba & bar Lola offers something refreshingly different on the island of Vis. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is fresh, and most of the vegetables come from Lola's own garden on the mainland. Their innovative dishes are sure to hit the spot, from appetizers such as beetroot with figs and goat cheese to mains like steak and chocolate truffles for dessert. They also have great cocktails.
In a carefully restored 14th-century palazzo opposite the historic St. James Cathedral in Šibenik sits Pelegrini, one of seven restaurants in Croatia to hold a Michelin star—and the only one in Central Dalmatia to do so. Pelegrini's menu features traditional Dalmatian cuisine that is innovatively prepared, with exquisite flavor being the restaurant's guiding principle. Look out for shark ravioli, carrot with mussels and sausage, and nectarine cheesecake. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere unique, and the wine list is a throrough presentation of local and international labels. For dinner there is a minimum of four courses that can be chosen from a selection of up to 34 dishes. Ask to be seated along the pathway overlooking the cathedral.
On the tiny island of Sveti Klement, a 20-minute taxi-boat ride from Hvar Town, this terrace restaurant is backed by a romantic wilderness of Mediterranean flora and offers stunning views over the open sea. Besides wonderfully fresh seafood, dishes include kožji sir sa rukolom (goat cheese with arugula), and pašticada (beef stewed in sweet wine and prunes). The owner is well known for her love of art and culture as well as food: the walls are decorated with contemporary Croatian art, and there are classical music recitals on Sunday morning.
Stop in at Uje and sample some of the region's best olive oil, as well as a choice selection of Croatia's best cheese, prosciutto, and wine. The quaint back-alley tapas (locally known as pikulece) bar showcases popular local chefs during the off-season, changes its menu regularly, and sources many ingredients from local organic family farms. Uje quickly gained the attention of local food lovers for its originality.The menu can feel overwhelming, so sticking to the daily specials is recommended. It gets busy here so go early in the afternoon or late evening for the best service. Be sure to check out the excellent selection of olive oils for sale at the bar too.
This seaside Mediterranean restaurant is spearheaded by two of the area's most celebrated chefs, Sandra and Dane Tahirović. Their haute, edgy takes on classic Adriatic cuisine include dishes like tuna tartare served in a sea urchin (with the spines on).
