Selected entries from the current guide for Hvar.
Hvar, Croatia
A two-time Michelin Plate recipient (2024 and 2025), Mediterraneo sits on Braće Bibić street in Hvar Town and draws consistently strong reviews, a 4.8 rating from over 1,100 Google submissions. The kitchen works within Croatian coastal tradition, placing it in the mid-price tier (€€) that defines accessible serious dining on the island. For Hvar, that combination of award recognition and sustained crowd approval is relatively rare.
Hvar, Croatia
A La Liste-recognised seafood address on Hvar, Laganini Lounge Bar & Fish House positions Mediterranean catch within the Adriatic's most ingredient-focused cooking tradition. Earning 75.5 points in La Liste's 2025 ranking and holding, it represents one of the island's more consistently regarded fish-forward options for visitors who want proximity to the sea on the plate as well as the waterfront.
Hvar, Croatia
Antonio - Patak sits at Uvala Ždrilca on the Adriatic coast of Hvar, drawing on the island's fishing and agricultural heritage to anchor its approach to Dalmatian cooking. The setting positions it within Hvar's mid-to-upper dining tier, where the sourcing of local seafood and seasonal produce does more editorial work than any formal award. For visitors already planning around the island's table, it belongs on the shortlist alongside the town's stronger-documented alternatives.
Hvar, Croatia
Dalmatino sits on Sveti Marak in Hvar's old town, operating within a dining tradition rooted in Dalmatian coastal cooking: seafood-led, wine-anchored, and shaped by centuries of Mediterranean exchange. The address places it among Hvar's established restaurant cluster, where the competition includes both harbour-front institutions and quieter inland tables drawing on the same Adriatic larder.
Hvar, Croatia
On the Pakleni Islands, just a short boat ride from Hvar town, Dionis occupies one of the Adriatic's more quietly compelling dining positions: a waterfront setting where the ritual of a Dalmatian seafood meal unfolds at its own unhurried pace. The address alone, pakleni otoci, a pine-shaded archipelago most visitors cross only by water taxi, sets the terms of engagement before a single dish arrives.
Hvar, Croatia
On Hvar's Riva waterfront, Gariful occupies one of the Adriatic's most recognisable dining positions: tables at the water's edge, a menu anchored in Dalmatian seafood tradition, and a reputation that draws a crowd well before peak summer. Among the island's better-known restaurants, it positions itself in the mid-to-upper tier of the Hvar dining scene, where location and longevity carry as much weight as the kitchen.
Hvar, Croatia
Gojava sits on a stone staircase lane in Hvar's old town, representing the quieter, neighbourhood-facing side of an island better known for marina-front spectacle. The address alone, Skaline od Gojave 11, signals a restaurant that rewards those who leave the harbour promenade behind. Expect the Dalmatian cooking tradition in a setting shaped by the town's medieval street pattern.
Hvar, Croatia
Where the Adriatic Comes to the Table Hvar's old town has a particular quality in the early evening: the stone of Petra Hektorovića narrows until the harbour light catches it sideways, and the air carries salt and lavender in roughly equal...
Hvar, Croatia
On the quieter western edge of Hvar town, Kod Kapetana occupies a position in the mid-tier of the island's dining scene where Dalmatian seafood traditions hold their ground against the summer influx of trend-led restaurants. The address at Fabrika 30 places it away from the main harbour crowds, drawing those who prefer measured pacing over spectacle.
Hvar, Croatia
On Hvar's central Trg svetog Stjepana, KOGO occupies one of the Adriatic's most dramatic dining settings, where Dalmatian culinary tradition meets the civic heart of a medieval island town. The square has anchored Hvar's social life for centuries, and tables here position you inside that history rather than at its edges. A reference point for the island's mid-to-upper dining tier.
Hvar, Croatia
A konoba in the older, quieter quarter of Hvar town, Konoba Maestro operates within the Dalmatian tradition where the menu is short, seasonal, and built around what arrived that morning. The address on Jurja Novaka places it away from the harbour crowds, in the kind of stone-walled lane where cooking tends to be more considered and less theatrical.
Hvar, Croatia
Positioned on the pine-shaded Pakleni Islands just across the water from Hvar Town, Meneghello occupies a category of its own among the island's dining options: a waterfront address in Palmižana that draws visitors arriving by water taxi or private boat. Compared to the harbour-front crowd of Hvar Town, Meneghello offers a quieter register, where the journey itself sets the tone before a single dish arrives.
Hvar, Croatia
San Marco occupies among the more charged addresses in the Adriatic, on Hvar's cathedral square, Trg Sv. Stjepana. The setting alone frames every meal in centuries of Dalmatian stone, salt air, and evening light. It sits within a dense cluster of serious restaurants on the island, making it a natural reference point for visitors working through Hvar's dining options.
Hvar, Croatia
Štajun occupies a quietly residential address on Hvar's old town periphery, positioned away from the harbour-front crowds that define the island's louder dining options. The kitchen draws on Dalmatian tradition without the souvenir-menu tendencies common at tourist-facing restaurants on the waterfront. For visitors willing to seek it out, it represents the kind of local-facing dining that requires a reservation and rewards the effort.
Hvar, Croatia
Stori Komin serves Traditional Dalmatian Peka at 16, Malo Grablje, with natural wine, quiet pacing, and mountain and street-scene views.
Hvar, Croatia
On the pine-forested Pakleni Islands opposite Hvar town, TOTO'S draws a loyal crowd of return visitors who make the short boat crossing specifically for the setting and the kitchen's Dalmatian seafood. The terrace sits close to the water's edge, and the pace is unhurried in a way that suits the location. Regulars treat it less as a restaurant stop than as an annual ritual.
Hvar, Croatia
Trg Sv. Stjepana 3 sits on Hvar Town's central square, one of the Adriatic coast's most recognisable public spaces, where Dalmatian dining culture plays out against a backdrop of medieval stone and open sea light. The address places it within reach of both the island's market-driven sourcing traditions and a broader Croatian coastal dining scene that has grown considerably more ambitious over the past decade.

Hvar, Croatia
A Leading Hotels of the World member occupying a 13th-century palace on Hvar's main square, Palace Elisabeth combines Habsburg-era architecture with understated modern design across 45 rooms. The harbor views, central position on Trg Sv. Stjepana, and centuries of accumulated history make it the reference address on the island for travelers who want proximity to everything without sacrificing character.
Hvar, Croatia
On the seaside promenade, just steps from Hvar’s town center, Moeesy is a modern classic: a luxury boutique hotel with a focus on the good life, and a subtle update of the grand hotel style of a bygone era. Built in 1929 and expanded in 1954, it’s been kept up to date, and in many ways was a boutique hotel before the category existed, thanks to its modest size and its private, residential atmosphere. Its restaurant serves the kind of eclectic Mediterranean fare at which Croatia excels, making use of local herbs and produce, and a small spa ensures that guests are kept relaxed and restored.
Hvar, Croatia
Riva Hvar Yacht Harbour Hotel occupies one of the Adriatic's most-watched positions, directly on Hvar's stone-paved harbour promenade. Selected for the Michelin Hotels guide in 2025, it places in the upper tier of the island's accommodation options, where the quality of the waterfront setting and the food and drink programme weigh as heavily as room count.
Hvar, Croatia
Littlegreenbay Hotel occupies a sheltered cove at Uvala Lozna on Hvar's less-trafficked southern shore, where the design deliberately prioritises the natural setting over interior spectacle. The property sits in a tier of Croatian coastal hotels that trade scale for intimacy, making it a considered alternative to the island's larger resort operators. Advance booking is advisable for peak Adriatic summer months.
Hvar, Croatia
Sirena in Hvar belongs to the island’s quieter side of hospitality: a name to read through setting, pace, and Adriatic architecture rather than through chef mythology or award shorthand. With no public record here for cuisine, price, hours, or booking channels, the useful way to assess it is as part of Hvar’s broader coastal scene, where sea-facing spaces and seasonal rhythm shape the experience.

Hvar, Croatia
On the Dalmatian island of Hvar, drinking culture follows the sun: aperitivo hours stretch late, local wine flows freely, and the bar scene sits between laid-back island rhythm and an increasingly sophisticated drinks programme. This Lesina address occupies that particular tension, where the Adriatic setting shapes what ends up in the glass as much as anything behind the counter.

Hvar, Croatia
Bastijana is an island winery in Hvar shaped around Dalmatian varieties, cellar culture, and a triclinium-style tasting room carved into bedrock. Founded in 1993 by Andro Tomić, it reads as a serious Hvar wine stop for visitors who want Plavac Mali, Pošip, and local context rather than a generic tasting bar.
Hvar, Croatia
Vino Hvar is a small, family-run winery experience tied to the Carić family’s vineyards in Vinogorje Hvar, with guided tastings forming part of the island’s broader wine-route culture. The appeal is terroir and context: Plavac Mali, Bogdanuša and Pošip read differently when framed by Hvar’s long viticultural history and its current push to define itself through wine tourism.
