Chef's Restaurant
For more than twenty-five years Konoba Mate has been one of Korčula’s most distinctive farm-to-table restaurants. Its success rests on the dedication of the Farac Milina family, who grow vegetables and fruit organically, raise goats, and produce their own cheeses, marmalades and prosciutto. Mirjana Farac transforms these ingredients into traditional Dalmatian dishes inspired by family recipes, while pastry chef Biljana Milina (GM Trophy Pastry Chef 2019) creates elegant desserts using produce from the estate. The menu is concise but deeply rooted in local tradition. A generous “peasant platter” features house-made prosciutto, goat cheese, pâtés, marinated vegetables, capers and olives served with homemade fennel bread. Handmade Žrnovo macaroni appear with pašticada or fennel sauce, while main courses include kid goat under the peka, lamb with peas and tender veal cheeks with cauliflower purée. The restaurant is set in a traditional stone house in the village of Pupnat, where the flower-filled terrace becomes the centre of summer dining.
