![]() ![]() No surprise there, our monkfish was delicious. Tables for dinner are usually booked days in advance. So here they are – the best restaurants in Vis according to me: Konoba Roki’s, Plisko poljeįamily-owned restaurant and vinery famous for its “peka” dishes served in the shady garden. Each of them was special in its own way and I couldn’t pick a favourite. It would be impossible to list the restaurants that we visited in any other order than chronologically. It seems that more tourists stay in their yachts and sailboats than on the island itself. Today this results in a lack of developed accommodation options. Until the early nineties, Vis island was an important military base and thus closed for visitors. Restaurants are geared towards yachting tourists which means everything but cheap.But I preferred it to the white “bugava”, another local variety. Red and strong, it may not be the best choice for hot summer days. ![]() “Plavac” is the most famous local wine.Anchovies are another popular ingredient. I learned to like them even though I was not a huge fan before. You will find them in cold appetizers like octopus salad, fish pate or simple cheese platters, but also in hot dishes. Everything is put into a pot, covered with cast iron lid and slowly cooked under the embers of a fireplace. It is a dish consisting of meat, fish or octopus with potatoes and vegetables. “Peka” is an absolute must-try, there is no way around it.No need to worry about carbon footprint there. The menu will probably be limited but the ingredients will be homegrown. “Agriturizam” is another good bet, meaning a farm open to tourists. The name stands for a traditional restaurant, usually a rustic place with a huge open fireplace called “gradele” where most of the food is prepared. This is a true hotspot for food lovers that completely took me by surprise. The abundance of eateries with locally sourced, organically grown food and freshly caught fish is such that the question is not “where to eat on Vis island” but where to eat first. Besides, judging by the quality of food at this limited selection of restaurants, there must be at least a dozen other equally satisfying places to try. Simply because the number of restaurants you can visit during a one-week stay hardly qualifies as extensive research. Calling this post “the list of the best restaurants on Vis island” would be a bit pretentious. ![]()
