Murvica Restaurant
About
Murvica Restaurant invites guests to a warm family‑run experience in the heart of Jelsa, Hvar island. Set on an old‑town street just 300 m from the main square, harbor, and marina, the restaurant blends traditional Dalmatian charm with contemporary comfort. Its menu showcases locally sourced ingredients—fresh fish, shellfish, lamb, and vegetable stews—prepared with organic extra‑virgin olive oil and served alongside a selection of regional wines from the Murvica estate. Beyond the dining room, Murvica offers a picturesque terrace shaded by vines and kiwi trees, where guests can enjoy the Mediterranean breeze while sipping their favorite local wine or a freshly baked loaf of homemade bread. The kitchen features a wood‑fired oven that delivers signature dishes such as the house “Peka” (a clay‑oven roast), pizza, and lasagna, complemented by vegetarian and vegan options. In addition to its culinary delights, Murvica is part of a family business that also provides modern apartments and a restored stone house in the nearby village of Humac. The brand is known for its eco‑ products—olive oil, jam, and liqueurs—available for purchase directly in the restaurant, giving visitors a taste of the island’s terroir beyond the table.
