The story
Fort George sits atop a hill above Vis, Croatia, serving Mediterranean cuisine within a restored 19th-century fortification originally built by British soldiers. The venue earned a Gault&Millau score of 12 for blending this historic setting with a menu that highlights local Adriatic ingredients and seasonal produce. Guests dine outdoors in a garden shaded by pine trees, where tables overlook the Bay of Vis and the surrounding islands. The rooftop terrace provides panoramic vantage points, particularly during evening hours when the sun dips below the horizon.
The kitchen rotates the menu each season while maintaining staples like Prawn Tartare and Octopus Medallions. Grilled meats feature alongside fresh catch, with options including Black Angus Dry Aged Rib-Eye and Duck Breast, plus daily selections of Adriatic fish fillet. Vegetarians can order an Aubergine Steak or explore lighter plates such as Zucchini Carpaccio and Caprese di Bufala. Desserts complete the meal with Chocolate Soufflé and Baked Pineapple, complemented by Dalmatian classics like Seafood Soup.
The wine list prioritizes Croatian producers, featuring labels from Dalmatia and nearby islands that pair well with the Mediterranean menu. Guests often begin their evening at the lounge bar or the rooftop terrace, sipping cocktails and aperitifs before dinner service starts. Smart casual attire is expected, creating a relaxed yet polished environment for sunset dining. The venue operates seasonally from May through September, with dinner service running from 18:00 until the kitchen closes at 22:00.
