We read about this place and walked by it the night before going. What a treat. The owner sat at our table and described the local food and wine. What a happy, fun place. I will admit it was a bit expensive by Croatian standards (double the price of what we had paid at other similar restaurants) but I would... More

We had a 10 days stay in Hvar and tried every night another restaurant. Learned that the atmosphere in the restaurants is usually very cosy and special, with the typical ancient style of old croatian walls etc... But food quality was disappointing in all restos somfar - until we discovered the Lucullus. Very nice food presentation, great choices on the... More

We found this whilst walking through the back streets. An amusing if somewhat distracted waiter served us. The service is not speedy, but to fair we were there to enjoy the ambiance and good food and this did not dissappoint. The other half had a tasty rabbit dish and I has chicken. Both delicious and finished off with a sublime... More

We had high hopes for this restaurant - it looked so nice, all cozy behind the walls tucked into one of Hvar's pretty back streets, yet still open-air, and the great live music. But unless you have a very slooow approach to dining, you should probably think twice. We knew we were in trouble when it took nearly 20 minutes... More

Went here for dinner last week, was amazing. Had a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to begin with followed by a gorgeous meal. I had languistines with pasta and my boyfriend had steak with a truffle sauce and vegetables. The restaurant atmosphere is great with live music, the waitors are very friendly and the restaurant itself is really pretty in... More

The food, the wait staff, the music- what can I say? it was all wonderful. From the comp glass of sparkling wine, to the delicious food, and the attentive and sometimes crazy waiters- made for a wonderful evening. Hvar is a special place- and eating here makes it that much more special.

We were suppose to go to Giaxa but they double booked us and were very rude so we went to Lucullus. Even though we didn't book a table they found us a spot. The food was lovely and the staff very friendly. We were glad we ended up here in the end!

What a fabulous place. Marko, hands down the best waiter and service we experienced anywhere! A gorgeous courtyard with lovely live music to accompany the meal. Complimentary champagne on arrival and complimentary brandy to finish our meal as well. Beautiful fresh scampi with spaghetti, wild boar with potato and fresh crispy sliced potatoes as a side. Fabulous wine recommendation too... More

Great restaurant right in our beautiful hotel, Villa Nora. Had the whole fish cooked in a wood burning oven with vegetables and potatoes. It was delicious. Nice Croatian sparkling wine to start. Very helpful and attentive staff. All food was the highest quality. One waiter is an absolute nut and put on different costumes to serve different tables. Although he... More

We enjoyed a nice evening here with great seafood. The waiting staff are very humorous and laid back. The restaurant also had two Dalmatian singers on the night we were there which was great.
