  • 1. Adriatic Sushi and Oyster Bar

    $$$ | Grad

    Some of the mainstays on this restaurant's menu come directly from the Adriatic Sea, and many of the ingredients are sourced from across the Croatian mainland. Located within the palace walls, this relaxed spot requires turning a few corners to find it but the food and setting are worth the hunt. The carefully researched wine menu pairs well with sushi.

    $$$

    With a tremendous sense of style, family-owned TRS combines traditional food with modern ingredients that are freshly sourced from the owner's family farm in a nearby village. The unusual combinations are a welcome change and still subtle enough to allow the strength of the traditional Dalmatian food to dominate. Reserve a seat outside to enjoy the sight of trs—grapevines—twining around the courtyard as you sip your wine.

  • 8. Pojoda

    $$$

    In a modern glass-and-wood conservatory that looks onto a courtyard garden of orange and lemon trees, Pojoda makes for a popular spot among the sailing crowd that won't disappoint a food-savvy traveler either. During the summer, it can get crowded and service may be a bit inconsistent.

  • 9. Restaurant Adriatic

    $$$ | Zvoncac

    Above the ACI Marina and at the foot of Marjan Hill, this mostly seafood restaurant has a light and airy, minimalist interior, as well as a summer terrace. In the spirit of slow food, the kitchen gives great care to fresh seasonal ingredients and presentation. The former owner, Zoran Grašo, is a retired basketball player, and his son Petar is a famous singer, so you may still spot some local celebrities from time to time among the diners.

Besides wonderfully fresh seafood, dishes showcase local ingredients such as sheep's cheese, olives, and beef. The owners are the Meneghello family, whose ties to the island date back to 1906. They are well-known for their love of art and culture, as well as food: the walls are decorated with contemporary Croatian art.
