Best Restaurants in Hvar

May 7, 2025

Found both in subtle sun-soaked streets and settings with sea views, Hvar’s restaurant scene is a feast for more than just your taste buds. The island blends tradition and trendiness effortlessly – one moment you’re nibbling on octopus by the water, the next you’re tucking into slow-cooked lamb in a rustic courtyard. Whether you’re craving the comfort of Croatian classics or curious about bold, modern flavours, Hvar delivers with pizzaz, creativity, and a heavy sprinkle of Mediterranean flavours. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best restaurants in Hvar to help you savour every bite of your island escape. 

 

Mediterraneo Dine & Wine   

Starting off strong with Mediterraneo Dine & Wine, this Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of Hvar is one of the most popular spots on the island – and with good reason. With an elaborate selection of Mediterranean cuisine, the focus is not only on the complexity of the dishes but even more so on the simple goodness of the ingredients. The freshest fish, meat, and vegetables all go into the carefully presented cuisine. While there are no views of the sea, there is outdoor seating in the form of a mini courtyard, and with speedy service and great ambience, it’s certainly one of the best places to eat in Hvar.

Val Marina has a clear emphasis on slow food and intentional processes, and it’s true that nothing beats an unrushed masterpiece of a meal. With seating that offers views of the harbour and an elegant yet calm interior, there’s really nothing more you could ask for.
