Gault&Millau's review 2026

Located in the historic Lešić Dimitri Palace within the old town of Korčula, LD Restaurant ranks among the most refined gastronomic destinations on the Croatian coast. Here chef Marko Gajski (Gault&Millau trophy Great chef of tomorrow 2021) presents a contemporary interpretation of Dalmatian cuisine built around fresh fish, seafood, island vegetables, olive oil and Mediterranean herbs. The restaurant offers tasting menus of three or six courses that follow the rhythm of the seasons. One extended menu begins with shellfish served in a delicate creamy broth capturing the essence of the sea. Japanese influence appears in the next course, where fish is presented as sashimi with bottarga and caviar. Foie gras with apple and hazelnut follows, before returning to Dalmatia with lightly caramelised sea bass accompanied by Swiss chard and potatoes.The meat course contrasts Black Angus and Japanese Wagyu beef, while dessert combines corn, caramel, coffee and hazelnut. As an important part of this gastronomic concept, carefully selected Croatian wines, particularly those from Dalmatia and Korčula, accompany the dishes. With its elegant terrace overlooking stone streets and the Adriatic, LD transforms dining into a sensory journey through the flavours and stories of the island.
