We had heard about Okuklje from fellow cruisers, and as it was the location of the one expensive restaurant we were willing to try in Croatia, we wanted to give it a go. At Maestral, the chef is French trained, and like other places, you get a dock or a buoy for free if you eat there. Again, since it was the weekend, things were pretty quiet and we had no problem getting a reservation.
The village is tiny, just a cluster of houses and restaurants centered around a small bay. We grabbed a mooring and simply enjoyed the view, till it was time for a swim and dinner.
Dinner was totally worth it. We shared a sea bream ceviche, and Trip had a pistachio laced pasta, while I enjoyed the restaurant’s signature dish, squid ink fettuccine with shrimp and cheese foam. (I normally detest foam and think it’s a gimmick but this was amazing). Thank you Tihomir & Linda! (the owners).
It was really hard to move on in the morning (we strongly considered staying several days longer), but some winds against us were finally about to set in, so it was time for one more burst of sailing.
