Hrvatske mornarice 1, 22203 Rogoznica

+385998493935

Restaurant Mario is beside the sea in Rogoznica's old town, with views across the bay. It has served Dalmatian specialities since 2010 and describes a kitchen that combines inherited regional recipes with contemporary preparation. Its address on Hrvatske mornarice makes it a waterfront choice for visitors who want to sit down to a meal built around the area's cooking. The restaurant highlights local products such as prosciutto, cheese in olive oil, sardines and anchovies. These give a clear starting point for a meal before moving on to fish or meat. Fresh bread and wines served by the glass are also part of Mario's own introduction, so guests can choose a smaller combination of dishes without having to commit to a whole bottle. Several named specialities move beyond a straightforward grilled-fish menu. Barley with prawns and lentils with cuttlefish bring pulses and grains into the seafood selection. Fish and squid stews offer another style of preparation, while beef stew with dumplings gives meat eaters a regional alternative. Ask which of these house dishes are available when you plan to visit. Mario accepts table enquiries through its website, telephone and email. A request becomes a reservation once the restaurant replies with confirmation; same-day enquiries can be made directly by phone or email. Its published service runs from noon to midnight, but confirm kitchen and seasonal arrangements when booking. Mention your party size and any particular speciality you would like to try.

Matije Gubca 14, 21220 Trogir

+385977055560

Casa Don Dino brings a contemporary Dalmatian kitchen to Matije Gubca in central Trogir. Seafood, seasonal produce, olive oil and regional herbs are the main threads of its cooking. The restaurant publishes separate brunch, lunch and à la carte menus, so it is worth choosing the service that suits the kind of meal you have in mind. The evening menu starts with recognisable local flavours: soparnik, the chard-filled Dalmatian pie, homemade focaccia and salted or marinated anchovies. Raw and cold dishes take a more elaborate direction, including tuna tartare with avocado and toasted almonds, white-fish ceviche with citrus, and oysters with lemon and pickled onion. These provide several alternatives for a light opening course. Among the signature dishes, Don Dino risotto combines sea urchin, Adriatic prawns, Pag cheese and pistachio. Octopus peka is offered for two with young potatoes and zucchini, while sea bass baked in a salt crust is another shared preparation. Guests who prefer meat can choose beef skewers, lamb or chicken with romesco; vegetarian dishes include roasted cauliflower with hummus and eggplant parmigiana. The variety makes this a useful choice when a group wants a planned dinner with different preferences around the same table. Reservations are available through the restaurant's website, with a direct telephone and email contact for discussing a particular dish or occasion. Ask about the day's availability and the appropriate menu when booking, especially if a shared fish or peka dish is central to your visit.

Gradska 23, 21220 Trogir

+38521796413

Calebotta occupies a house in Trogir's old town whose story reaches back to 1920, when Frane Calebotta built it and opened a cinema. His descendants' restaurant keeps that family name while offering three different dining settings: an interior facing the wine bar, a garden enclosed by old architecture and a front area connected to the life of the town. Dalmatian ingredients shape the food, with homemade pasta, fish and grilled meat forming the centre of the menu. A seafood starter plate combines tuna tartare, octopus carpaccio, marinated sea bass and prawns. For a smaller beginning, there is seared goat's cheese with prosciutto, honey and rosemary, or zucchini carpaccio with goat's cheese and pine nuts. Main dishes give each diner a distinct direction. Choose lamb pašticada with homemade gnocchi, tuna with aromatic polenta, or white fish in lemon sauce. Mussels in buzara sauce and grilled squid bring familiar coastal flavours, while fuži with mushrooms and dried tomatoes offer a meat-free pasta option. A fish platter for two is another choice for a shared table. Calebotta also publishes a breakfast menu, from poached eggs with bacon to yoghurt, granola and berry sauce. Children have pasta Bolognese or grilled chicken with fries, and the dessert selection includes cheesecake and crumble. The address is Gradska 23; reserve directly if you have a preferred dining area, and confirm which meal service is running at your planned arrival time.

Obala kralja Tomislava 21, 21217 Kaštel Novi

+385994777633

Mon Closed; Tue–Sat 17:00–23:00; Sun 13:00–17:00

Konoba Dominik is a Croatian tavern on Obala kralja Tomislava in Kaštel Novi, run by hosts Dominik and Nina. Its character comes from a historic interior arranged with attention to the building's older atmosphere, together with a terrace on the first floor. The cooking follows the same balance: familiar regional dishes remain at the centre, with modern touches in their preparation and presentation. Ingredients are obtained mainly from local farmers, fishermen and regional suppliers. The kitchen keeps its selection focused on homemade specialties rather than an extensive catalogue of dishes. Starters include Dalmatian cured ham, cheeses from the island of Pag and octopus salad, alongside other salads. For a main course, the choices described by the house include marinated beef steak and roasted pork ribs. Fish comes from the fish market in Kaštela, connecting the seafood selection to the local catch. One of the tavern's particular specialties is meat or seafood prepared in the traditional peka style. These dishes cook slowly in the house's large wood oven and can be arranged by ordering ahead. They also appear as part of the restaurant's special food events. Local wines and beers accompany the cooking, with international wines and selected beers available as well. The selection can change with the season, when the kitchen may offer a smaller menu or dishes of the day. Guests who want a table on the upstairs terrace are asked to reserve by telephone in advance. The combination of a small menu, regional ingredients and a carefully preserved setting gives the tavern a clear focus on Croatian cooking.

Obala kralja Tomislava 19b, 21216 Kaštel Novi

+38521231301

Mon–Thu 10:00–23:00; Fri–Sun 10:00–24:00

Konoba Intrada brings seafood, pizza and traditional Dalmatian cooking together on Obala kralja Tomislava in Kaštel Novi. Its name refers to the produce of the surrounding fields, and the kitchen connects Adriatic fish with local wine, olive oil and vegetables from Kaštela family farms. The waterfront setting makes it a natural place to combine a meal with time along the coast. The menu offers several ways into that regional cooking. Begin with octopus salad, Dalmatian prosciutto or local cheese, then choose black risotto, seafood spaghetti or the house pasta with salmon and prawns. Grilled sea bass and sea bream sit alongside squid and shellfish. For two diners who want to share, the Intrada fish platter brings together several fish and seafood preparations on one order. Pizza is also a substantial part of the choice, with small, large and jumbo formats. Toppings range from the straightforward tomato, cheese and oregano combination to anchovies, mixed vegetables and the house salmon-and-prawn version. This breadth is useful when one person wants fish and another prefers pizza or a familiar pasta dish. For a more deliberate group meal, ask in advance about peka: the menu lists veal, lamb, octopus and stuffed squid cooked beneath the covered baking bell, in portions for four. Reservations can be arranged directly by phone. Published opening hours extend later from Friday to Sunday, making it worth confirming your preferred dining time when booking.

Šetalište Miljenka i Dobrile 34, 21215 Kaštel Lukšić

+38521270400

Štacija Restaurant is part of Hotel Štacija on the seafront promenade in Kaštel Lukšić. Its terrace places the meal close to the water, while the kitchen builds on Mediterranean ingredients such as olive oil, tomatoes and fish supplied by local fishermen. The restaurant is useful for an evening out along the Kaštela coast, with a seasonal à la carte service and a separate year-round bar offer. The dinner menu moves from sea bass carpaccio and prawn tartare to pasta with smoked mussels, cuttlefish ragù and prawn risotto. A traditional seafood stew comes with squid-ink pasta, while sea bass fillet and Adriatic tuna provide other fish choices. Zucchini carpaccio, pesto pasta with semi-dried tomatoes and a bulgur-and-vegetable bowl give the menu a vegetable-focused side. Meat dishes include dry-aged ribeye, beef Wellington and pork cheeks prepared in the style of pašticada with homemade gnocchi. If you would like a shared peka meal, contact the restaurant ahead: veal and octopus versions require advance ordering and a minimum of four portions. Whole fish from the grill also needs to be pre-ordered. The wine selection offers a way to explore nearby producers, including Kaštela Maraština, Pošip and Crljenak. Plan around the restaurant's distinct service times: à la carte dinner runs from April through October, while breakfast, desserts and sweet or savoury bar food remain available through the year. The booking form and telephone contact allow you to confirm the menu and terrace arrangements before visiting.

Don Frane Bege 2, 21214 Kaštel Kambelovac

+38521220208

Baletna Škola sits among pine trees a few metres from the sea in Kaštel Kambelovac. The name remembers a distinctive part of the site's history: prima ballerina Ana Roje founded an international ballet school here in 1953. Today the restaurant pairs that coastal setting with a broad menu rooted in Dalmatian and Mediterranean cooking. Seafood choices include grilled fish, squid, prawns and mussels prepared in buzara sauce. Two diners can share a grilled seafood platter with fish, scampi, squid and chard, or choose the fried platter of prawns, squid and small fish. These are helpful options when you want a shared meal with several textures instead of choosing a single fish dish. The grill menu is equally substantial, covering lamb, chicken, steaks, ćevapi and stuffed pljeskavica. There are named meat platters for two, alongside dishes such as chicken in gorgonzola sauce with gnocchi. Pizza provides another route through the menu: simple tomato and cheese, vegetable toppings, prawns and more generous combinations are available, including jumbo sizes. Families have a separate children's selection with smaller ćevapi portions, chicken schnitzel and familiar pasta dishes. For something more traditional, ask what is being prepared for the day's marenda; the menu lists cooked lunch dishes such as beans, stews and pašticada. Peka appears among the special preparations, so discuss availability when reserving. Desserts include rožata, pancakes and cakes, giving a mixed group plenty of choice from the first course to the last.

Katschberg-Bundesstraße 98, 5582 St. Michael im Lungau

+4364778181

Landgasthof Hubertusstubn is the Planitzer family’s country inn on Katschberg-Bundesstraße in St. Michael im Lungau. Its restaurant concentrates on traditional Lungau cooking, with regional home style dishes, local specialties and lighter choices sharing an extensive menu. Fresh preparation is central to the kitchen’s approach, and cooking remains a family responsibility: Linde Planitzer is the cook, supporting her daughter Petra alongside Hans Planitzer. The family presents the inn as the work of three generations, with Petra’s partner Hans and daughters Laura and Nina also part of the household. There are three separate dining rooms, giving the restaurant the character of a traditional inn with several smaller places to gather. A sun terrace provides an outdoor alternative for eating in suitable weather. The property also has a children’s playground, making it relevant for families choosing somewhere to stop for a meal. Accommodation forms another part of the business, with rooms, holiday flats and apartments alongside the restaurant. The hosts offer personal suggestions for excursions and sporting activities in the Lungau, connecting the house with the surrounding holiday region. Its position near the B99 approach is described in the inn’s own directions, which guide arrivals from St. Michael, Mauterndorf and the Mur valley. For a visit focused on food, the main attractions are the family kitchen, the choice between three indoor rooms and the terrace, and a menu that keeps local cooking alongside lighter dishes.

Poststraße 13, 5582 St. Michael im Lungau

+43647771550

Wastlwirt brings several kinds of dining together inside a historic inn on Poststraße in St. Michael im Lungau. Its five Lungauer Stub’n are individual parlors, including the Bauernstubn, Bürgerstubn and Kuchlstubn, with names and settings that connect the restaurant to local domestic and village life. Regional classics form the core of the à la carte Landhauskuchl, while breakfast welcomes visitors staying elsewhere as well as hotel guests. The house asks outside diners to reserve a table. A separate vaulted cellar provides the setting for a five course candlelit dinner arranged in advance, and wine is another thread running through the different rooms. Rudi Baier hosts wine experiences in the cellar. For a more informal visit, the hotel restaurant connects with a sun terrace, lobby and bar, and the garden offers another place to eat or enjoy a glass of wine outdoors. The building’s story reaches back to 1499. Its present name comes from Sebastian Georg Moser, an innkeeper who adopted the dialect nickname Wastl in 1830. The Baier family took over in 1966, and Sebastian Baier assumed leadership in 2017. That long history gives the dining rooms their context, but the offer also includes straightforward reasons to visit: breakfast with company, regional cooking served at the table, or a special dinner beneath the cellar vaults. Dogs are excluded from the Lungauer Stub’n.

Marktstraße 66, 5582 St. Michael im Lungau

+4364778206

Staigerwirt is the Gruber family’s inn on Marktstraße in St. Michael im Lungau, with chicken specialties at the center of its identity. The family sources its chickens exclusively from Styrian production through supplier Lugitsch. Alongside these specialties, the kitchen prepares home style dishes, changing lunch menus, Lungau favorites and international food. Regional ingredients and the family’s interest in hunting also shape the selection, with game dishes appearing as part of the culinary offer. The different places to sit give a visit several possible moods. There is a traditional dining room, a winter garden and an outdoor guest garden for enjoying the regional cooking in the open air. The small Ositzl bar takes its name from a hunter’s raised seat and offers a setting for a beer and conversation. Austrian wines accompany the food, providing another connection between the kitchen and producers closer to home. Special food weeks add variety beyond the regular selection. The family highlights Oktoberfest celebrations, goose and sheep specialties, and game weeks among these occasions. Staigerwirt also receives groups gathering for company functions, family meals, baptisms and first communion celebrations. It belongs to the same family business as the Waidblick accommodation, so the restaurant and guest rooms share one address rather than representing separate dining branches. For travelers based nearby, its combination of a recognizable chicken specialty, regional cooking and several dining spaces makes it a useful place to plan a meal together. Tables can be reserved directly with the inn.

Meixnergasse 30, 5582 St. Michael im Lungau

+4364778110

Die METZGERstub’n is the Sampl family’s restaurant in the Stammhaus on Meixnergasse, combining a village inn with a kitchen rooted in the Salzburg Lungau. Elke and Sepp run the business in its second generation, while their son Sepp prepares the food. The menu brings Austrian specialties together with international dishes: the house names Lungauer Schöpsernes, Wiener Schnitzel and a veggie burger as examples of its range. Regional sourcing is a practical part of the cooking. Veal comes from the Daslerhof in Mauterndorf, and local farmers and hunters supply meat and other ingredients according to availability. Mushrooms, Lungau potatoes, butter, cheese, yogurt and milk appear among the products the family seeks nearby. Herbs from the restaurant’s own garden finish the dishes. Seasonal specialty weeks give particular ingredients their turn on the menu. The social side is equally characteristic: the inn describes neighbors meeting at the regulars’ table, playing cards or following football together over coffee or beer. Visitors can also sit on the terrace. Vegetarian dishes are listed, vegan meals can be prepared on request, and the kitchen asks guests to discuss allergies directly. Breakfast is available to people who are not staying overnight. Most dishes can be ordered to take away, although meals with substantial sauces are less suitable. The restaurant accepts table reservations and celebrations, welcomes dogs, provides step-free access and accepts Mastercard, Visa and debit cards.

+385989214433

Mon–Tue Closed; Wed–Thu 12:00–23:00; Fri–Sun 08:00–23:00

Spinnaker occupies the eastern side of the breakwater at Marina Kaštela's sailing centre in Kaštel Gomilica. Opened in 2018, it combines a contemporary dining room with outdoor seating and views across Kaštela Bay. The setting makes the water part of the meal, while the kitchen approaches Dalmatian ingredients through both traditional preparations and more modern combinations. Local fishermen supply fresh fish, and the restaurant also works with seasonal produce, meat and dishes suited to vegetarian or gluten-free diets. The menu offers several ways to explore that approach. Seafood pasta combines smoked mussels, prawns and smoked mackerel, while black cuttlefish risotto comes with squid carpaccio, sea fennel and Parmesan crisps. Gnocchi pair scampi with blue crab, and white fish is served with potato and tarragon purée, mussel cream and fish jus. Octopus cooked under a peka brings the cooking back to a familiar Dalmatian method, accompanied by potatoes, tomatoes, rosemary and olives. Meat choices include beef steaks, slow-roasted chicken and a burger with raclette cheese and black garlic mayonnaise. A chef-selected tasting menu provides another route through the kitchen, with optional wine pairings. Croatian and international bottles accompany the food, including the local Crljenak wine. Beyond individual tables, Spinnaker and the sailing centre arrange private celebrations, weddings, business gatherings and regatta events. Guests arriving by boat can arrange to moor beside the restaurant, and restaurant guests have free parking. Tables can be booked through the restaurant's reservation service or by telephone.

Fell 120, 5582 St. Michael im Lungau

+4364778402

Landgut Blasiwirt stands in Fell, outside the center of St. Michael im Lungau, where the Mayr family combines a country inn with farming. Hannes, Karin and Lisl host a small property whose food draws heavily on its own production and suppliers from the surrounding region. Its Salzburg organic breakfast is explicitly available to day visitors who register in advance. The buffet brings together homemade bread and pastries, butter from a local organic farmer, dairy products from the Minimolk in Tamsweg and cheeses from Lungau producers. Homemade jams, apple juice from the property’s own trees, elderflower juice and herb quark spread add details that distinguish the breakfast from a standard hotel spread. Smoked pork, beef and game sit alongside other regional meats, while yogurt, muesli and eggs offer further choices. The kitchen also describes an evening menu of salad buffet, soup, a main course and dessert, with a vegetarian main available. Other specialties include regional organic lamb, veal and Angus beef, fresh trout, game and fondue. Guests with allergies or particular dietary requirements are asked to explain them in advance. The family’s connection with the property began in 1901; the present inn was built in 1973, and Hannes Mayr took over in 2004. Farming remains part of the operation, linking the dining offer to the wider estate. For visitors staying elsewhere, the bookable organic breakfast is the clearest way to experience that connection between the family, local producers and the table.

Črn Bel 4, 42230 Ludbreg

+38542819177

Črn-Bel sits on a small hill in the Ludbreg wine country, in the village of Vinogradi Ludbreški just outside the town, with a wide view over Ludbreg and the surrounding villages that reaches into the neighbouring counties and even across the border. The place has a literary history. It once belonged to Mladen Kerstner, the Croatian writer and director known for Gruntovčani and Mejaši, who later left it to the shareholders of the old Hotel Putnik in Ludbreg; it was eventually privatised by Đuro Bohnec. The name is thought to come from Fran Galović's poem Črn-bel, written in June 1914 and published after his death in the collection Z mojih bregov. After a full renovation the restaurant reopened in January 2022 with a more modern look, while keeping the traditional spirit of an excursion spot in the vineyards. The menu runs along three lines: à la carte continental dishes, pizza from a bread oven, and grilled meat. The kitchen also lists game, river fish such as pikeperch and trout, squid and fish platters, steaks and barbecue, along with homemade vegetarian menus and options for vegans and small children. A daily set lunch, the local gablec, is part of the offer. Coffee and hot drinks are served from the morning, and the wine list leans on the Ludbreg wine district, with sparkling wine as well. The house aims to work with local food producers and family farms. Tables are booked by phone, celebrations for families and companies are organised on request, and the food can also be taken away or delivered. It suits a long lunch with a view after a walk through the vineyards.

Ulica Petra Zrinskog 9, 42230 Ludbreg

+38542810727

Hotel Crnković is a three star hotel on Ulica Petra Zrinskog in the centre of Ludbreg, the small Podravina town that calls itself the centre of the world. It belongs to the same local group as Hotel Amalia and the Pivnica Mejaši beer hall on the main square, a couple of minutes away on foot. Inside the hotel there is an à la carte restaurant with room for about forty guests and a café bar, and the house describes its offer as a rich à la carte menu served with top local wines. The hotel courtyard holds a terrace and a garden where guests can sit outside and relax in the warmer months. The second side of the house is its banquet hall, which takes up to three hundred people and is booked for weddings, graduation parties, church celebrations such as baptisms and confirmations, birthdays and other family occasions; set wedding menus are published on the hotel website. The hotel itself has fifteen rooms, and staying guests can add half or full board in the restaurant. The staff speak Croatian, German, English and Italian, which makes ordering easy for visitors from abroad. Wireless internet is free throughout, there is a free private car park on site, and the building is adapted for guests with disabilities. Pets are not allowed under the house rules. From the door it is a short walk to the town square, the Holy Trinity parish church, the Batthyány castle and the Shrine of the Precious Blood of Christ, so the restaurant works well as a lunch or dinner stop during a day exploring Ludbreg, or as the venue for a larger family celebration with a meal for many guests.

Trg Svetog Trojstva 27, 42230 Ludbreg

+38542810510

Mon–Sat 10:00–22:00; Sun 11:00–22:00

Pivnica Mejaši is the beer hall attached to Hotel Amalia on Trg Svetog Trojstva, the main square of Ludbreg, right beside the parish church. The interior is fitted out entirely in a rustic style meant to recall the old Zagorje countryside, with about sixty seats inside, and in summer two large terraces, one at the front and one behind, take around a hundred guests. Two things anchor the menu: pizza from a bread oven and meat grilled over charcoal following the Leskovac tradition. The pizzas carry local names such as the house Mejaši with garlic sausage, bacon, ajvar, fresh pepper and egg, the Podravska with dried pork neck, the Slavonska with kulen, and the Pivnička with corn and kulen, and most also come in a jumbo size. From the grill there are ćevapčići served plain, in flatbread or with kajmak, cheese stuffed pljeskavica and vješalica, and sharing platters for three or five people. Squid comes breaded, fried, grilled or stuffed with prosciutto and cheese. The house speciality is venison goulash with hunter's dumplings, and there are schnitzels, pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce, a cold platter of prosciutto, kulen and cheese with bread from the oven, and pancakes for dessert. A set lunch, the local gablec, is also on offer. Tables can be reserved online, birthdays and smaller celebrations can book the room, and the kitchen prepares family and party menus to order a day or two ahead. Everything can be ordered online for pickup or delivery, and both cash and cards are accepted. It is the easy evening option in the centre of town, a few steps from the square.

Veliki Guber 1, 80101 Livno

+38763330814

Mon–Sun 09:00–22:00

Konoba Ivina Arka is a country tavern in Veliki Guber, on the western edge of the Livno field, about three kilometres from the town centre. It opens every day of the week from the morning until late evening, which makes it one of the easier places to plan around when arriving or leaving. The kitchen is rooted in the grill. The house platter brings together ćevapi, a pljeskavica, a chop, a chicken skewer, sausage and liver, and the grill section also lists veal and pork cutlets, mixed veal skewers, chicken wrapped in pancetta, a stuffed pljeskavica and one cooked in kajmak, the rich local clotted cream. Beyond the grill there are breaded and sauced cutlets, including a Livno style schnitzel, medallions, pork tenderloin stuffed with ham and cheese, and chicken in gorgonzola sauce. Traditional dishes include bean stew with sausage, fried dough balls with kajmak and veal cooked under the sač, the iron bell covered with embers, which is made to order. For fish there is grilled trout and grilled squid. A section of pizzas includes the house pizza with kulen, the spicy Slavonian sausage, and a vegetarian pizza with seasonal vegetables, alongside pasta, risotto, green noodles with seafood or gorgonzola, and a run of omelettes for the morning. The tavern also hosts events of its own; it has organised a Livno sausage contest, the Livanjska kobasijada, where anyone could bring sausages to be judged by a panel and the evening ends with dinner, a tasting of sausage and cheese and live tamburica music. Tables can be requested through the booking form on the website or by phone.

Suhača bb, 80101 Livno

+38763556444

The restaurant of Motel Vujeva stands beside the road from Livno towards Glamoč in Suhača, about five minutes by car from the town centre. The Vujeva family runs the whole site, which combines ten guest rooms, a cafe bar, a mini market and a petrol station, and the family says it has been in hospitality for more than twenty years. The kitchen cooks home style food. On weekdays it serves marenda, the hearty late morning meal that is a custom in this part of the country, until one o'clock, and the restaurant then stays open into the afternoon for guests and booked tables. It is open every day except Sunday. Much of the work here is celebrations. The main room takes larger groups for baptisms, first communions, confirmations, memorial gatherings and company receptions, with the menu, room and service arranged with the family beforehand. Inside the restaurant there is a separate tavern room for up to twenty people, used for birthdays, anniversaries and family lunches. Outside, a terrace hosts wedding parties who meet there to eat, listen to live music and spend time together before moving on, and wedding guests can stay in the motel rooms. The house asks guests to mention allergies or special diets when booking and adapts the menu. For regular tables, a call a day or two ahead is enough; for weekends and holidays it recommends booking well in advance. Parking next to the building is free, motorcycles can stand in a locked garage, Wi-Fi is free, and every service on the site, the restaurant included, can be paid by card. The family calls it the first logical overnight stop for motorcyclists riding the Dinaric routes from Split.

Mosorska cesta 13, 21310 Omiš

+38521863444

Restaurant Knez is the restaurant of Hotel Villa Dvor on Mosorska cesta in Omiš. Its elevated terrace looks across the Cetina canyon, the old town and the sea towards Brač. Chef and hotel owner Petar Ćurlin gives the cooking a connection to the nearby Poljica area, using traditional recipes and produce grown for the kitchen. The menu begins with Dalmatian prosciutto, local cheeses, anchovies and beef carpaccio. Seafood appears in the house risotto of shellfish, prawns and fish, as well as black cuttlefish risotto. More distinctive pasta choices include wild-herb pesto with hazelnuts and black ravioli filled with prawns and fresh cheese in a prosciutto-and-truffle sauce. For the main course, sea bass with olive tapenade sits alongside fish baked with vegetables and tomato sauce. Ask about the day's catch if you prefer a simpler grilled preparation. Meat choices include aged Black Angus steak, lamb and game with gnocchi, while a soy steak with potato-and-garlic cream provides a vegetarian alternative. Desserts include the day's homemade cake and pancakes with ice cream and warm cherries. The Ćurlin family's own wine is offered alongside other Dalmatian bottles, making the restaurant's regional ties part of the drinks selection too. Book directly if the terrace view is a priority. Service starts in the afternoon, and the tourism board lists a season ending in early October; checking your date is particularly useful for stays outside the main summer months.

Trg svetog Mihovila 1, 21310 Omiš

+385993389644

Cocopazzo occupies Saint Michael's Square in the old part of Omiš, with a terrace beside the church. Italian and Dalmatian influences meet in a menu that covers handmade pasta, seafood, wood-fired pizza and desserts. It is a convenient choice for a meal during an old-town visit, particularly when different people at the table want quite different things. The pasta and risotto choices go beyond familiar holiday staples. Fuži is paired with pistachio cream and stracciatella, while one risotto combines beetroot, blue cheese and walnuts. Seafood diners can choose tuna with celery sauce, sea bass with broccoli and spinach sauce, or octopus with baked polenta. A chef's fish platter for two combines several kinds of fish and shellfish. Pizza is made from hand-stretched dough and cooked in a wood-burning oven. Choices include a simple Margarita, vegetables, four cheeses and mortadella with pistachio pesto. The menu also identifies vegan beetroot gnocchi with avocado and lemon, alongside a vegetable pasta option. Children have smaller carbonara or chicken nuggets with chips. Homemade cakes and pastries form a separate reason to leave room at the end; Cocopazzo works with I Gemelli Patisserie and also serves Croatian wines and cocktails. For a celebration or a larger table, call ahead and explain the occasion. The restaurant operates seasonally, with the local tourism board listing May through October, so confirm opening times before planning a visit near the beginning or end of the season.

Trg kralja Tomislava 6, 21310 Omiš

+38521755260

Gusarska Konoba, the Pirate Tavern inside Hotel Plaža Omiš, carries the town's maritime theme into its dining room. Wood, portholes and lighting create the impression of a ship's interior at Trg kralja Tomislava, close to the centre of Omiš. The kitchen serves a broad Mediterranean and Croatian menu, with enough variety for a couple or a group to choose independently. Begin with Pag cheese, Dalmatian prosciutto or an octopus salad, or choose one of the soups. Black cuttlefish risotto, seafood spaghetti and pasta with salmon provide substantial alternatives to a conventional main course. Fish dishes include sea bass and sea bream with Dalmatian-style chard, grilled squid and fish fillet in wine sauce. The pirate idea also appears in the food: a mixed-meat sword for two and the Gusarica platter are sharing options for diners who prefer the grill. The latter combines stuffed rump steak, pork with bacon and turkey, with potatoes and vegetable rice. More familiar choices include schnitzel, steaks and a range of pizzas, from Margarita to ham and mushrooms or seafood. This combination makes the tavern useful when you want a central restaurant with an indoor setting and an extensive menu. Pancakes with different fillings and ice-cream desserts give the meal a relaxed finish. The hotel publishes service from noon until late evening; contact its Omiš team to reserve a table and confirm any particular dish before visiting.

Gabrijela Jurkića 13, 80101 Livno

+38763378163

Carnis sits on Gabrijela Jurkića in the centre of Livno, a few minutes on foot from the main street. It is the project of chef Tomislav Trboglav, who left Livno at twenty-five, cooked in Croatia and Germany, worked in steakhouse and fine dining kitchens in Zagreb, and then came home to open a place of his own together with his team. The house describes it as a story about returning home and about giving the town something bolder and more modern. The menu is built around meat, burgers and a smoker. Burgers come on brioche buns with beef, pulled pork or chicken, from a classic cheeseburger to a version with truffle mayonnaise and smash burgers pressed thin on the griddle, all served with fries. The corner the kitchen calls Smookey is given over to low and slow cooking: pork ribs, short ribs, lamb shanks and veal ribs spend hours over wood smoke at low temperature, an approach inspired by American barbecue but cooked with local produce. The chef names Livno cheese among the ingredients he is proud of, and it turns up on the fries. There are sandwiches on house focaccia, among them a Philly cheese steak and slow cooked beef with goat cheese sauce, plus salads on bulgur with salmon, prawns, chicken or a vegetarian mix with hummus croquettes and mushrooms. On weekday mornings there is breakfast with avocado toast, eggs Benedict, salmon toast and omelettes. The wine list leans on Croatian and Herzegovinian producers and the beer list includes the local Livno beer. Tables can be reserved by phone, and the same number takes delivery orders. The chef also cooks at private events through a chef experience service.

Restaurant Novitas is on the first floor of Hotel Novitas, a family owned hotel in Livno that opened on 3 June 2017 and stands a few minutes on foot from the main square. The restaurant is open to everyone, not only to people staying in the hotel. Caffe Baristo occupies the ground floor below it and a conference hall sits on the floor above. The room is bright and spacious, with a view over Livno and the surrounding country, and it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The house describes its cooking as domestic and international: local specialities given a modern finish and prepared from fresh, seasonal produce, with a wine list and a choice of local drinks to go with them. Cakes and desserts come from the hotel's own pastry kitchen and close out the meal. The kitchen adjusts dishes to dietary needs on request. The restaurant seats up to two hundred people, and the whole room can be booked for weddings, family celebrations and other occasions. For larger groups it offers a buffet or an à la carte menu by arrangement, and for business lunches and private parties a closed service with its own coordinated staff. The hotel itself has a private car park, an underground garage, a destination charging point for electric cars and free Wi-Fi throughout, and its reception is staffed around the clock. The same family also runs Odmorište Oltre, a pizzeria on the edge of town. To reserve a table, mark a special occasion or plan a private event, the hotel asks guests to get in touch in advance by phone or email so that the menu and the seating can be prepared.

Kaštil Slanica sits beside the Cetina River in a former salt-trading fort, a setting that connects the meal to the history of the Omiš hinterland. The Rogošić family opened the restaurant in 1998, drawing on family recipes and the ingredients of the coast, river and inland countryside. Its wine selection focuses on Dalmatian grape varieties. Soparnik is a particularly relevant place to begin: the thin Poljica pie contains chard and onion and is finished with olive oil and garlic. Homemade bread baked beneath hot coals accompanies several starters, including the house bruschetta and fish pâté. Grandma Višnja's pašticada, served with homemade gnocchi, continues the family-recipe theme. The river section of the menu offers trout, eel and frog legs, while the seafood dishes include black risotto, prawns with monkfish and fish baked with vegetables. There are also straightforward choices for younger diners, such as tomato pasta and breaded chicken. For a shared peka meal, choose among veal, lamb, octopus or chicken and order at least three hours ahead; the minimum is four portions. You can arrive by road, with free guest parking, or discuss a river arrival with the team. This makes Kaštil Slanica a useful destination for an outing into the canyon as well as a restaurant visit. Reserve directly and mention any advance-order dish when arranging the table. Rožata or cheesecake with caramelised figs can bring the meal to a distinctly Dalmatian finish.

Radmanove Mlinice is a restaurant and excursion estate in the Cetina canyon, around six kilometres from Omiš. Former watermills, tall trees and the river give it a different setting from the coastal restaurants in town. The grounds retain reminders of the old mill estate, including stone mill equipment and a sundial, and can be reached by road or by boat. The cooking makes room for both the river and Dalmatian traditions. Grilled trout with chard and potatoes, frog legs with prosciutto and pašticada with homemade gnocchi are among the house specialities. Soparnik and bread baked beneath a covered bell offer another introduction to local food, while black cuttlefish risotto and grilled sea fish bring the coast into the menu. There is also a substantial grill selection, from ćevapi and chicken to stuffed steaks and mixed platters for two. Tomato pasta and vegetable risotto provide simpler alternatives, and pancakes or the cake of the day round out the meal. Some larger preparations need planning: the restaurant asks for advance notice for dishes such as spit-roasted lamb and eel stew, so discuss these when reserving. Indoor tables and an outdoor terrace make the restaurant suitable for different weather, while a children's playground and sports areas give families something to do around the meal. Combine lunch with time in the canyon, or ask the team about a group visit. Telephone confirmation is useful for both the day's menu and current opening hours, which can vary across the season.
