Eating Out

Vis takes its food seriously even by Dalmatian standards. The signature dishes are simple: hot pogača (a flat onion-and-anchovy bread that's the Komiža speciality), grilled fish bought that morning off the boat, lamb roasted under a peka (a heavy iron lid covered in embers), and the local Vugava white wine. The best restaurants cluster in Kut (Vis town) and along the Komiža waterfront. Book ahead in July and August; some places shut for several months in winter.
