Zori Restaurant

Set on the lagoon of Palmizana, Zori is an island restaurant located a ten-minute boat ride from Hvar that boasts an incredible setting and seafood. Guests arrive at the family-run spot by boat and are treated to an idyllic seaside retreat that is a favorite with the Dalmatian Coast boating crowd. Chef Iva Tomlinovic emphasizes the freshest ingredients that her husband Renato sources daily in the Hvar market and from organic farms. Her parents opened the restaurant thirty years ago, and the menu still highlights regional fare. Favorites include goat cheese with truffles, fresh scampi, risotto with baby shrimps and rocket, bison burger and grilled fish of the day. An Indagare member raves, "At Zori I had the best lobster I've ever had." Note that next door is a great bar called Longanini.
