Villa Spiza
A tiny 15-seat tavern in a narrow alley of the Old Town, featuring a daily changing handwritten menu, no reservations, cash only, and often long queues.
Located in the narrow Petra Kružića alley next to Diocletian's Palace, this tavern has only about 15 seats and features a handwritten menu that changes daily based on fresh ingredients. Common dishes include linguine with clams and prawns, beef stew (pašticada), seasonal stews, fresh fish, as well as Pag cheese and Dalmatian prosciutto, with the tiramisu also frequently praised. The restaurant's Facebook page states that reservations are not accepted; queues can last up to two hours in summer, so arriving right at opening is recommended. Cash only. Main courses are around €14–24. Located just a few minutes' walk from the center of the Old Town.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 13:00–22:00, Mon afternoon to evening (hours vary by source), closed Sundays; hours may be extended in summer
