2 Best Restaurants in Northern Dalmatia, Croatia

This eatery has mastered the art of cooking with flame, producing delectably grilled entrées from a real wood fire nestled within a brick oven. Select a whole fish from the day’s fresh catch, sold by the kilogram, or share a grill platter of mixed cuts of beef piled high atop potatoes and salads. Lamb and octopus are equally top choices.

If you want a hearty meal well above the tourist fray in Sali, you'll have to do some climbing (more than 100 steps!) to reach this rustic restaurant with tables on barrels, fishnets hanging from the ceiling's wooden beams, an enticing open hearth, and an outdoor terrace shaded by grapevines. Set in a village-like atmosphere that feels very off the beaten path, Konoba Kod Sipe serves everything from grilled calamari and pork chops to cuttlefish spaghetti.
