A Taste of Brač, Made with Love
Kala Dine & Wine is a true family affair. Chef Dino Šeparović is the creative force behind the dishes, while his wife, Mia, takes care of the restaurant’s welcoming vibe, ensuring that every guest feels right at home. Together, they’ve turned Kala into more than just a dining spot – it’s a reflection of their love for the island and its rich culinary heritage.
Dino, a proud member of JRE Croatia, draws inspiration from Brač itself. From the fresh Adriatic fish to the famous Brač lamb and locally sourced produce, every ingredient tells a story. And you can taste the island in every bite. What makes Kala stand out is its blend of traditional Dalmatian cooking with Dino’s modern twist. The result? Flavors that feel both familiar and excitingly new.
The Five-Course Experience: Island Flavors on a Plate
One of the best ways to experience Kala’s magic is through their five-course tasting menu. Each dish is lovingly crafted, beautifully presented, and made with the freshest seasonal ingredients.
From the moment you take your seat, you’re in for something special. Imagine starting with lamb tartare, tender and full of flavor, followed by dishes that celebrate the land and sea of Brač, like Adriatic fish or the rich, smoky flavors of food cooked over an open fire. And let’s not forget dessert – the fig-based creations are something you’ll be dreaming about long after you leave.
For those who appreciate the art of food pairing, Kala offers carefully selected local wines to complement each dish. A glass of Senjković Bosso, a robust local wine, pairs perfectly with the earthy and smoky flavors of the dishes, making the meal even more memorable.
A Warm Welcome in a Beautiful Setting
The restaurant itself feels like a warm embrace. With stone and natural wood as the main design elements, it has a cozy, earthy feel that’s perfectly in tune with its surroundings.
Whether you’re visiting for a romantic evening or a relaxed dinner with friends, Kala offers an environment that’s as welcoming as the food is delicious.
Why Kala Deserves a Spot on Your Travel Itinerary
Kala Dine & Wine has earned its place on the map, with recognition from both the Michelin Guide and Gault & Millau – and for good reason. But what truly sets it apart is the heart and soul that Dino and Mia put into every aspect of the experience.
If you find yourself on Brač, a visit to Kala isn’t just a recommendation – it’s a must. Whether you’re a foodie, a wine enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys a great meal in a beautiful setting, Kala Dine & Wine will leave you with fond memories (and maybe even a few cravings for that lamb tartare or fig dessert).
