1. Uje Oil Bar
$$ | Grad |Stop in at Uje and sample some of the region's best olive oil, as well as a choice selection of Croatia's best cheese, prosciutto, and wine. The quaint back-alley tapas (locally known as pikulece) bar showcases popular local chefs during the off-season, changes its menu regularly, and sources many ingredients from local organic family farms. Uje quickly gained the attention of local food lovers for its originality.The menu can feel overwhelming, so sticking to the daily specials is recommended. It gets busy here so go early in the afternoon or late evening for the best service. Be sure to check out the excellent selection of olive oils for sale at the bar too.

2. Adriatic Sushi and Oyster Bar
$$ | Grad |Eighty percent of this restaurant's menu comes directly from the Adriatic Sea and, to take it a step further, most of the ingredients in general are sourced within a 50-km (30-mile) radius of the premises from the yellowfin tuna to sheep's cheese and Dalmatian prosciutto. The atmosphere is relaxed and the wine menu has been well researched to pair well with sushi. Located within the palace walls, you may have to turn a few corners to find it, but it is worth the hunt.

5. Calebotta

The sea platter, which includes tuna steak tartare, octopus carpaccio, and scampi with grapefruit and pistachio, is a perfect way to start a meal on a hot summer afternoon. Leave room for dessert because each one is exceptional, especially the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and pumpkin seed oil. The menu can seem long, so feel free to ask your waiter for recommendations. The bar is also a great place for an evening drink.

6. Cantinetta
$$ | |Hidden away in the Skradin Bay, in a quiet location where the fresh waters from Krka National Park flow into the sea, Cantinetta is well recognized among local residents as the best place to eat in Skradin. From a humble family konoba to a serious culinary destination, this restaurant takes great pride in its well-preserved old recipes that have been passed on from generation to generation. Dishes like the renowned veal risotto, which must be slowly cooked for at least six hours and whose actual recipe is a family secret, must be ordered well in advance. For a light dish, try skradinske ćokalice, tiny fish which have a particular taste because of the combination of salt and fresh waters in which they live. Fresh seafood and great meat dishes at reasonable prices make this an easy choice after a long day sightseeing.

10. Kaštil Gospodnetić
$$ | |Sitting above village of Dol, this konoba not only offers an amazing view of the valley all the way to the sea, but also offers guests a chance to step back in time with a tour though its historic 19th-century building before sitting down to a home-cooked meal.

13. 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.

20. Zlatne Školjke
$$ | |A favorite among the yachting crowd, due in part to its location near the ACI Marina Skradin, Zlatne Školjke occupies a natural stone building with a terrace overlooking the water. The restaurant is aptly named Zlatne Školjke, which means golden shells, because of the plethora of shellfish farms nearby. Fresh oysters, mussels, scallops, lobster, scampi, and shrimp—you name it, they have it all, and prepare everything to perfection. Be sure also to try some of the Skradin local dishes like Skradin veal risotto, and Skradin cake, a light dessert with almonds, walnut, and honey. A sommelier can help you choose a wine, but a glass of local Debit white wine is a wise choice to complement a visit to Skradin.
