Vala Restaurant
About
Meet Vala Restaurant, a restaurant in Hvar with a setting that suits the island's slower pace. Unnamed Road, 21460, Rudina, Croatia places it near the village of Rudina rather than in Hvar Town itself.
A tally of 180 reviews sits behind the kitchen's reputation, a modest figure that reflects the island's smaller dining circuit. The menu follows a restaurant format, with cooking built around the ingredients the island produces. Hvar Town, Stari Grad, Jelsa and Vrboska are all within driving distance, so the venue works as a stop between the bigger settlements.
Opening hours run Mo-Su 12:00-22:30, covering a long lunch through to a late dinner seven days a week.
Figs, almonds, lavender and olives grow on the islands, and Hvar produces well-known white wines, so a glass alongside the meal is a natural choice. The season runs from June to September, and the sea is warmest in late summer, which is when the island is at its busiest. Klapa a cappella singing and processions in traditional costume mark the summer calendar, giving an evening out beyond the table.
