Laganini Lounge Bar & Fish House.

Perched on the edge of Vinogradisce Bay on the island of Sveti Klement, Laganini Lounge Bar & Fish House is a 50-year-old sanctuary accessible only by boat. The journey—a 25-minute taxi ride from Hvar or a private mooring in the marina—prepares you for a space where the Adriatic serves as both a backdrop and a larder. The menu is a focused study of Dalmatian seafood, featuring local catches like grilled octopus and cuttlefish-ink risotto, tailored for a crowd that values fresh, often gluten-free preparations. While the lounge bar specializes in herb-infused cocktails and Croatian wines, the real draw is the waterfront terrace, which offers front-row seating for the sunset. It is an unpretentious yet polished retreat that feels miles away from the harbor’s high-energy scene.
