Vis restaurants

I have compiled the following list of potential resaurants to visit on Vis; can anyone comment and help me add or subtract?

Restaurant Val

Terrace overlooking the bay and outstanding cooking. It specialises in shellfish and crustacea, but also features vegetable dishes (a rarity), including a memorable caponata (capers are another of the island%26#39;s crops).

Villa Kaliopa

Situated in the garden of the 16th-century Garibaldi Palace and the smartest restaurant in town, Villa Kaliopa is frequented by those on the big yachts.

Konoba Vatrica

The place to go for a more modest meal. It has a peka, a traditional wood-fired oven used to cook fish or meat.

Hotel Tamaris has a good terrace for apéro or a meal.

Restaurant Dionis for pizza

Parallel 43 in Kut

AS Restaurant in Kut

Bako in Komiza

Waterside terrace and view.

I had a bad experience at Restaurant Val--was overcharged by a waited who obviously pretended that there was a communication problem (have visited the country 3 times, so I know how to order). The manager took care of it, so take my one bad experience as you will. The food was so-so: not bad, but not memorable.

Ate the other two nights at Konoba Vatrica--it is fantastic and highly recommended! Don%26#39;t take from the description that it is inexpensive. It can be, depending on how you order (fish usually priced per kilo). I can%26#39;t rave enough about the seafood and its preparation here. A fun environment and great service.

I read about Villa Kalliopa and looked at it, but it seemed empty at the time of year I was there, so I gave it a pass.

I also had some decent pizza in both Vis and Komiza on the waterfront, but don%26#39;t recall the names of the places at the moment. There%26#39;s a good little bakery in Vis too for sweets and bread for snacks.

I have also heard of a place in neither Vis nor Komiza (in fact, you may need a boat to access it)--worth looking into.

Enjoy!

Mala Trovna is the inlet where you can have memorable meal! Run by a poet/cook - Senko Karuza. But don%26#39;t expect anything fancy! You may end up preparing the meal yourself along with Senko if he is too busy :))

Stayed in Komiza last week, and ate at Bako twice - the food and wine were excellent, and the setting wonderful (right by the sea). The first night the terrace was completely full, the second it was quieter. I%26#39;d recommend you reserve a table just to be on the safe side. They open at 4pm (although there is a mobile number posted outside if you want to make a reservation)
