The idea is timeless: to create a special place where the clear blue sea meets the open sky, while guests enjoy dishes made with homegrown organic ingredients and wines from the surrounding family vineyards.
Restoran Rot · Ivan Dolac, Hvar
Family Hospitality, Dalmatian Flavors and a View to Remember
Šime Carić, the restaurant’s founder, has more than 25 years of experience in hospitality. He brought the idea to life with Restoran Rot, which opened in 2016. Work began five years earlier, in 2011, with the first stone and thousands more laid to create this special place about 300–400 metres along the road from the picturesque village of Ivan Dolac, on the southern side of Hvar island.
Today the restaurant is run by Šime’s son, Mladen Carić, continuing the family’s tradition of hospitality.
Restoran Rot in Ivan Dolac serves Mediterranean and Dalmatian cuisine, including fresh fish and seafood, juicy steaks, other grilled meats, and traditional peka. Our dishes use local and organic ingredients and pair with wines from the family vineyard, selected wines from other producers, and local liqueurs. Peka takes approximately 2–3 hours depending on the meat; advance ordering is recommended.
You will find us about 300–400 metres from Ivan Dolac, on the main road towards Sveta Nedjelja, around 3 km from Zavala and 10 km from Jelsa. Our hours are seasonal; please check before visiting. Send a reservation request online or call us on the main number.
