21. Kod Joze
$$ | Manuš |This typical Dalmatian restaurant is relaxed and romantic, with exposed stone walls and heavy wooden furniture illuminated by candlelight. Located just outside the palace walls, a five-minute walk from Zlatna Vrata (Golden Gate), it is slightly hidden and easy to miss. The waiters are wonderfully discreet, and the rižot frutta di mare (seafood risotto) delicious. There are also tables outside on a small open-air terrace for summertime al fresco dining.

23. Konoba Kopačina
$$ | |It is hard to spend more than a day on the island of Brač without giving in to the succulent aromas of roasted lamb, and many people claim Konoba Kopačina is the best place to enjoy the island delicacy. While waiting for your lamb, consider trying Konoba Kopačina's vitalac, an island delicacy that includes the sheeps’ innards wrapped in gauze or membrane and roasted on a spit. The sheep on Brač feed only on their mother's milk and wild herbs like the rosemary and sage that thrive on the island's rocky terrain. There is also a good selection of local wines for which you can trust your waiter to provide good recommendations.

Before leaving, round off your meal with pijane smokve (literally "drunk figs": figs marinated in brandy), and be sure to check out the world atlas where guests sign on the pages of their hometowns.

26. Konoba Triton
$$$$ | |Widely acknowledged to be the best restaurant on the island, Triton is particularly popular with those traveling by sailboat, who can moor up on a small quay out front.

27. Konoba TRS

These unusual combinations, like chickpea puree and fried octupus, are a welcome change and still subtle enough to allow the strength of the traditional Dalmatian food to dominate. Try the monkfish medallions wrapped in pancetta with the house red wine for a nice change.
