Gault&Millau's review 2026

On the very shore of Lopud, with a beautiful view of spectacular sunsets, La Villa restaurant skilfully combines traditional Dalmatian recipes with a modern culinary approach. The ambiance is elegant, two terraces by the sea are especially attractive in the evening. High level service is helpful and discreet, well versed in selection of dishes and wines. Among the appetizers, the confit tuna and the baked scallops with rich béchamel, spinach cream and aromatic parmesan stand out. It is a harmonious blend of delicate and rich textures that reflects attention to every detail. Especially memorable is buzara in the Lopud style, prepared with very fresh and diverse seafood, rich in flavours. The parmigiana with breaded chicken and gnocchi in pesto sauce is a bit surprising with its unusual combination, but it shows courage and a desire for innovation in every bite. The desserts are absolutely delicious, the sweet Pavlova with blueberries is a light and refreshing final note that is hard to resist. When it comes to wine, La Villa proudly offers quality local labels. The price-quality ratio is correct, making this restaurant a perfect choice for those looking for a combination of tradition, innovation and authentic island atmosphere.
