Mediteran

Top choice in Northern Dalmatia


Mediteran centres on a lovely old stone building, although in summer the action moves into the courtyard and up to the little 1st-floor terrace. Chef Pero Savanović's dishes offer a modern take on Dalmatian traditions and highlight delicious local produce. Visit when Istrian truffles are in season and you'll be in for a treat – try the monkfish with truffle sauce.
