Restaurant Guide Croatia 2026: The 10 best restaurants in the countryside
The view from the mountain ridge of the bay and its islands is spectacular, and the terrace is, of course, quickly booked up in the summer. The cuisine has long maintained its high standard. The finest ingredients from the immediate vicinity and exquisite plating. Excellent wine recommendations!
The restaurant is part of the beautiful estate owned by the Korak winemaking family. Guests can choose from excellent tasting menus, which are creatively designed by the young chef Bernard Korak while remaining strictly regional and seasonal. The restaurant’s own wines serve as the perfect accompaniment.
This stylish restaurant, complete with a renovated boutique hotel and a well-maintained garden, has long been a guarantee of excellent fine dining. Its house-made olive oil is outstanding, and the menus are distinguished by their authentic Istrian flavors. Exceptional hospitality.
A truly unique culinary destination where Istrian elegance is brought to near-perfect expression. The house wines and sparkling wines are the ideal accompaniments to the meals, and the kitchen conjures up authentic dishes based on the “garden-to-table” philosophy, which are light and extremely creative.
Away from the hustle and bustle, a charming estate with a garden and cozy rooms awaits in the countryside. The cheerful staff spoils guests with creative appetizers, Istrian prosciutto, a variety of truffle dishes, and tender, slow-braised roast. The wines are perfectly paired with these dishes.
Housed in a historic villa, the restaurant surprises guests with exquisite cuisine. Fruit and vegetables come from the restaurant’s own garden. The meal gets off to a great start with trout, mint oil, and pickled kohlrabi, and the scallops on lemon risotto are simply divine. Great wines!
Not only is the wine hotel a charming place to stay, but its upscale restaurant makes for a perfect culinary experience. Truffle lovers will revel in truffle soup, pasta with truffles, or truffle carpaccio. The tuna steak is also a hit. Perfectly paired wines.
A phenomenal atmosphere among the vineyards—where you should start by enjoying an aperitif—and warm hospitality are guaranteed. A cheese platter, beef tartare, or fish appetizers make for a perfect start. The scents of Istria mingle with the grilled aromas of juicy steaks.
Not far from Korčula, you can step into another world in this small village. The family strives to preserve the old recipes, and you can really taste it—for example, in their homemade ham. They also use plenty of aromatic herbs. The desserts are sinfully good.
