New dining reviews for Makarska, Croatia

Last month was our second summer in a row visiting Makarska, further down the Croatian coast in the region of Dalmatia.

 

Back in the summer of last year, I wrote a post just about our dining experiences in Makarska and Split.  (CLICK HERE for that entry.)

 

This year we added some new restaurants to our list while in Makarska, and I wanted to share them with you!

 

Il Golfo

If I could say one thing about this restaurant, it would be GO THERE!  Perhaps one of the best dining experiences we have ever had.  EVER!  (Just writing about it now makes me want to totally be back there, reliving that amazing evening!)  We reserved a table on the pier over the water.  (Make a reservation in advance!!!)  We got to see a gorgeous sunset as we enjoyed our wonderful meal.  Miloš had filet mignon with truffle sauce (served with large pieces of truffle), and I had shrimp pasta.  We started with bruschetta to share, and Miloš had their home-made beef soup, which was served in a mini crock.  It was all truly excellent!  The service was top notch – our waiter was helpful and attentive, and even though he knew he could speak entirely in Croatian with Miloš, he still asked me in English how my food was and if I needed anything.  We would absolutely recommend eating here for anyone who is visiting Makarska!  (But remember – be sure to reserve your table on the pier ahead of time!)  Bonus – it was a GREAT deal – altogether WITH a good tip, we spent about the equivalent of $75 US.
