Zlatna Školjka (Golden shell) restaurant

The ‘Golden Shell’ is a small, picturesque slow food restaurant situated in the centre of Hvar, less than 20m from the town piazza.

It is located on the ground floor af a 13th century house which was later joined with the foundations of the town wall. It once belonged to the Hektorović family and is believed to be the birthplace of renowned Rennaisance poet Petar Hektorović (1487-1572), who lived and worked here for the grater part of his creative life. This places The Golden Shell, physically and metaphorically, at the root of Croatian and Mediterranean history.

However, it is the present-day philosophy and offer of this intriguing restaurant that makes it special.

Seating is available for 30 guests, with each guest guaranteed an intimate atmosphere and an individual approach to choosing their meal and the way it is prepared. Thanks to an open-plan kitchen, strategically placed so it is visible from every corner of the restaurant itself, guests are able to watch as each phase of their meal is prepared.
