Hidden Gem Michelin Spot in Croatia’s Hvar Island!

If you're taking a Croatian island-hopping tour, you’ll likely stop at Hvar—where most tourists end up at overpriced, mediocre restaurants recommended by guides. Don’t fall for it! Instead, head to Mediterraneo Dine & Wine, a low-key Michelin-recognized spot that’s inexplicably absent from Xiaohongshu (but deserves all the hype!). 📍 Braće Bibić 15, 21450 Hvar ✨ Why It’s Special: Free appetizer: Fresh bread with balsamic, olive oil, and black pepper (the owner even demoes the perfect dip mix!). LAMB SHANK (€31): Slow-cooked in red wine sauce, paired with pea purée, corn, and carrots—unexpected but heavenly. SEAFOOD RISOTTO (€24): Packed with shrimp, mussels, scallops, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan. SECRET DESSERT (€13): A chocolate masterpiece not on the menu—show them my photo to order! Verdict: Prices rose slightly post-Michelin, but it’s still a steal compared to €100+ tasting menus. RUN, don’t walk! P.S. Hvar’s stunning—wish we had more time to explore after this meal! 😭 #HvarFood #CroatianMichelin #IslandHoppingEats
