Chef at Moro Beach Stupe plating fresh seafood at the island grill station
Moro Beach StupeFood & Wine

Everything on your plate crossed the water.

Whole fresh fish and lobster from the grill, a raw bar, and Dalmatian classics, with a deep cellar of Korčula and Pelješac wine. Island cooking with a fine-dining hand.

From the open kitchen

Cooked in the open, carried to your table.

The kitchen here is part of the show. Whole catches and big copper pans come together in plain sight, then travel straight to the middle of the table while the terrace turns to look. Led by Croatian chef Igor Gudac, the team cooks the way the island asks for it: bold, generous and unhurried.

Half the pleasure is watching it arrive, steaming, balanced between two chefs, headed for your table.

Catch of the day

Whatever the sea gives that morning.

What goes in the pan is what the sea gave that morning. The chef builds a dish around the day's catch, often a one-off you will not find tomorrow, and sends it out whole to the middle of the table for everyone to share.

The kitchen

Cooked simply, taken seriously.

There is no road to Moro, so there are no shortcuts in the kitchen either. Fish and shellfish arrive by boat the morning they are served, the grill does most of the work, and the seasoning gets out of the way. What you taste is the Adriatic, handled by people who respect it.

On an island with no road, freshness is not a slogan. It is the only way the kitchen can work.

On the menu

What comes out of the kitchen.

A short, confident menu that changes with the catch and the season. Three things it always does well.

The cellar

A wine list worth the crossing.

The list runs deep, and it starts at home. Korčula and Pelješac sit on either side of the lagoon, two of Croatia's great wine peninsulas, and their bottles fill the heart of the cellar. Beyond them, an international list and a serious Champagne selection for the days that call for it.

Local at the coreThe indigenous whites and reds of Korčula and Pelješac, the grapes that define this coast, chosen with people who know them.
A Champagne listA selection of its own, from grower cuvées to the grandes marques, chilled and ready for the occasion.
