Classy Foša's gorgeous terrace juts into the harbour, and its sleek interior that combines ancient stone walls with 21st-century style. The main focus of chef Damir Tomljanović is fresh fish, plucked from the Adriatic and served grilled or salt baked; the beef tenderloin with truffles is another star. Also try the Adriatic shrimp with smoked-mussel gnocchi.
