Konoba Mate
For a truly authentic Dalmatian dining experience, visit this informal farmhouse eatery in the inland village of Pupnat, 9km (6 miles) from Korčula Town. Everything is homemade here, and many of the ingredients are home-grown, too. You might start with a platter of mixed appetizers, including grilled zucchini, goat cheese, prosciutto, olives, and eggplant pâté, followed by a hearty lamb stew cooked under a peka (a domed metal lid, used to cover casserole pots used for slow-cooking over charcoal). Be sure to taste the house’s homemade rakija (a potent local spirit), infused with wild herbs. Reservations are recommended.
