    Friendly Milna....
    by rich77
    Milna is a little bit out from Hvar (about 10 km) so you have to go there by car... but there are a beautiful spot to take sun and most of all a great restaurant, open night and day, where you can eat good fish and meat (if you don't like fish) cooked on barbecue... Reservation is needed (I missed the telephone number, but I think I'll have in the future) because lot of croatian people go there every night...

    Cevapcici!

    Lunch in Hvar
    by karenincalifornia
    This picture shows how we always ate lunch and dinner in Hvar. Always outside. Always by the sea. Always feasting on seafood with a fantastic bottle of local wine. All Hvar cafes and restaurants we tried were excellent.

    To this day, we still talk about the fried calamari we had on Hvar as the best calamari we have ever had in our lives. Also outstanding was the whole fish cooked with olive oil, garlic and parsley. Mmmmmmm!

    Cooking the fish whole is the important part, with the eyeball staring up at you. This is not the American way - for some odd reason we think our fish must always be boned, skinned and with heads cut off. However, fish caught in the Adriatic cannot be eaten the American way or it will not taste as good as it should.

    When I returned to America, I wanted to make the fish Adriatic style, with bones still in, skin on, head on and eyeball staring up at me. At the US fish market (many fish markets, in fact), I tried to buy fish this way, but the markets thought I was crazy. Who eats fish with the head still on and eyeball staring up at you?

    I will have to return to Croatia for this -- no luck in the US.

  • Amfora Hotel, Hvar - Hvar
    Amfora Hotel, Hvar
    by karenincalifornia
    We ate breakfast every morning of our stay at the Amfora Hotel because breakfast was included in the price of the room. On one of the mornings, we sat down and ordered our food. Even though the restaurant was half empty, two tourists came up to our table and ordered us to leave. We asked why and they said "You don't understand the right way to travel. This is OUR table and it will always be our table as long as we are here."

    Now, if it were up to me, I would have refused to give up my territory, and would have eaten my breakfast with them, whether they liked it or not. My husband, ever the peacemaker, hauled me over to another empty table, and thus, an international incident was avoided.

    None at this hotel. Food was bland. Eat at one of the many outdoor cafes instead.

    09/04 - Still the wonderful tranquil place I remember from last year. Tried the octopus salad - light and fresh, with corn, fresh olive oil and lemon. Some mellow jazz in the background - I have to stay here next year for a few days.

    09/03 - The view from the patio looking out towards the small island, Scredo - the fresh caught fish - the tranquility - the house wine. If you're looking for a place to get away to on Hvar - try the south side of the island.

    09/04 - Tried the octopus salad, gnocci with gorgonzola, fresh grilled fish, zuchinni and potatoes and the house wine - all satisfying and delicious.

    09/03 - The gnocci with gorgonzola - the frsh caught fish - the house wine.

    Vinarija Plenkovic: Undewater Wine Cellar

    Famous wine producer Zlatan Plenkovic built this unusual structure. It serves both as marina for small boats and as restaurant with special emphasis on wine tasting.

    They were brave to build special underwater cellar, but due to technical problems, it is still not serving it's purpose. You can go down and have a look, but the glass window into the sea got greenish from algae.

    Excellent wines, worth spending a lazy afternoon there, just make sure the driver is a strong character - new law in Croatia allows No Alcohol at all to be found in driver's blood. So don't eat too much ripe fruit either.

    Palaca Paladini: A real treat

  • Good choice! - Hvar
    Good choice!
    by TheWanderingCamel
    After missing out on a most-anticipated Sunday lunch at the Konoba Humac, we were determined to treat ourselves before we left Hvar. Palaca Palandi was our choice, and we were not disappointed. A lovely walled garden terrace scented with citrus trees, hidden behind the walls of the mediaeval Paladini Palace, was the perfect place to retreat to from the summer heat. Service was friendly and efficient, and lunch was excellent. The restaurant has a reputation for good food lovingly prepared and it certainly delivered.

    Grilled squid is such a regular feature of Croatian restaurant menus. I love it and must have eaten it in at least a dozen different restaurants there last summer and this year and it has always been good, but the squid at the Palaca Paladini is definitely the best I've had anywhere in Croatia.

    The huge patio is under a canopy of grape vines with
    clusters of grapes within arms reach.  The restaurant seems to cater more to large groups and families. Tried a hvar plate (sampling of ham, pag cheese, sardines and seafood salad) and carpet shells ( clams - not as plump as mussels but briny and plentiful. Stopped in a coupe nights to have drinks on the patio also - nice setting.

    Recommended in Footprint. Had the house white, some dalamtion ham, spaghetti with lobster ( the tomatoes, capers, garlic, white wine - wonderful) and a
    plate of fresh fried girice (little fish which could be eaten whole). The owner told me the best months in Hvar are May, June, September and October - July and August are too busy.

    Located directly across from the Golden Shell - the third floor is open to the sky. The food is well prepared - had fish pate with smoked salmon, octopus salad and spaghetti buzara - ordera bottle of white Zlatan Otok. I was a bit jet lagged but thought everything was quite good. Cool hip music played discreetly in the background.

    Situated about a block off the main square and near Hektorovica's unfinished house - this is one of the more upscale restaurants. The food quality is excellent. I did the chef's recommendations - hvar sampler plate of fish pate-octopus salad- marinated anchovies, fruta di mare risotto, fish fillet w/roasted vegetables. Ordered a bottle of white - Bodanjusa. For desert - a couple slices of fresh succulent watermelon. Try and get a table outside along the walkway - the lights swaying in the breeze, people passing by - makes for a wonderful setting. Finished with some homemade prosec - which was a deep ruby red. I had my last dinner here - lobster spaghetti (140 kn), other white fish (120 kn), grilled vegetable (25 kn) a 1/2 liter of house white (30 kn) - once again a beautiful peaceful setting - late at night I had the walkway to myself.
