3 Best Restaurants in Makarska, Central Dalmatia

Jeny

$$$$ Fodor's choice

At one of the best fine-dining restaurants on the Makarska Riviera, it's clear that time and care have gone into creating the two tasting and wine-pairing menus. The expert food preparation—blending seafood and meat with locally grown and forage flavors like olives and broad beans—can match many of Croatia's most awarded restaurants. Located 3 km (2 miles) above Makarska in Tučepi on the road to Biokovo, Jeny has an elegant ambience and a terrace with a beautiful view overlooking the Makarska Riviera.  The management is happy to call a taxi to bring you to the restaurant.

Hrpina

$$

Located right on a beach on the Makarska Riviera, this casual restaurant is a great spot to fuel up on fresh seafood after a long day of swimming and sunbathing. If you time your dinner right, you can take in a sunset above the sea as you relax; you can make a reservation by phone and also check the seasonal closing, which depends on the number of customers.

Konoba Ranč

$$$

Surrounded on all four sides by the shade of an olive grove, this restaurant is the perfect place to wind down after a day of sun and sightseeing. It's known for steak, lamb cooked peka-style, and fish prepared traditionally na gradele (on the grill).
