  • 21. KIWI

    $

    European food rule number one: if you see locals lining up for ice cream, get in that line. That's certainly the case with KIWI, the island's oldest ice cream shop; grab a seat outside to try traditional pastries such as klašuni (walnut pastries) and cukarini (handmade biscuits), as well as muffins, strudels, and homemade ice cream that does Korčula's Italian heritage proud.

  • 22. Konoba Belin

    $$

    For such a small village, Žrnovo is home to a surprising number of great restaurants, most located in old stone homes and run by the families who own them. Konoba Belin is one of the originals and the best, where you'll linger for a few hours over platters of grilled seafood or the local delicacy Žrnovski makaruni; call ahead to arrange a lesson on how to roll macaroni.

  • 23. Konoba Kod Marka

    $$

    With a prime location overlooking the harbor in Šipanska Luka and sensational sunset views, Kod Marka is renowned among sailors and yacht guests as one of the best seafood restaurants and hidden gems in the region. There's no official menu—you just grab a seat on the terrace, order a glass of wine, and enjoy whatever the chef has prepared that day. Expect about four courses, which might include an anchovy platter to start, fresh prawns, octopus cakes, and a whole sea bass to share.

  • 24. Konoba Kolona

    $$

    Located one street behind Tiha Bay, Konoba Kolona is a firm favorite for seafood among locals; the owner is also the fisherman and the cook, so you know you're in good hands. It has two large covered terraces, plus indoor seating and reasonable prices for popular dishes such as lobster by the kilo, mussels buzara (in tomato and white wine sauce), and octopus carpaccio.

It's expensive but so are most of the restaurants around Lopud, so at least you know the quality here is going to be exceptional.

  • 26. LD Restaurant

    $$$$

    Head chef Marko Gajski's menu here elevates exclusively seasonal Croatian produce—think wild asparagus in spring, strawberries in the summer, truffles and root vegetables in the fall—and local seafood such as lobster, Ston oysters, and scorpion fish into fine-dining creations. With an outdoor seating area stretching along the Old Town's fortified wall and panoramic views of the Pelješac Peninsula and the archipelago, you can enjoy your meal while admiring the very terroir from which it was gathered. As Lešić Dimitri Palace did for lodging on Korčula, LD Restaurant brings a whole new level of sophistication to the island's dining scene, along with its first Michelin star.

  • 28. Nishta

    $$ | Stari Grad

    Specializing in vegan fare, this playful eatery on Prijeko Street has just a dozen tables and is deservedly popular; for years it was the only vegan option in town. Their menu changes regularly, but you can expect Indian-inspired dishes, different soups and salads, falafel, and freshly made desserts.

Twenty-four-hour notice required.

  • 30. Proto

    $$$$ | Stari Grad

    Located right in the heart of the Old Town, Proto dates back to 1886 and most locals will respectfully acknowledge that it's still one of the best in town. It has hosted everyone from King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson to modern-day celebs and sports figures who come to try its menu of premium local seafood and reliably prepared Dalmatian dishes. Opt for the five-course tasting menu (€100), which includes the catch of the day, or go for the à la carte menu; the seafood platter for two is an excellent choice.
