The story
Konoba Maestro anchors a quiet side street near St. Stephen's Cathedral in Hvar, earning a Gault&Millau rating for its authentic Dalmatian cooking. The kitchen operates as a direct family effort, with two brothers managing the fishing while the third steers the tavern. This hands-on approach guarantees that the seafood arrives at your table straight from the sea.
Octopus stays central to the roughly ten dishes on offer, available as a cold starter, a hot appetizer, or a main course. The grilled octopus serves as the signature dish, presented in a simple, rustic manner that highlights the quality of the catch. An octopus salad brings together the tender meat with plump capers and black olives, while a rich bluefish pâté pairs well with warm homemade bread.
The terrace holds about ten tables adjacent to St. Stephen's Cathedral, creating a relaxed setting for dining. The kitchen rounds out its seafood offerings with Dalmatian classics including gregada, brodetto, risotto, and maccheroni made in the Korčula style. The wine list complements the meal with a focus on unique profiles, allocating sixty percent of the bottles to natural wines and carefully chosen regional labels.
