Nono Ban Hotel and Restaurant

The octopus for two at Nono Ban restaurant is the best I've ever eaten. You must order it 2 hours in advance, but absolutely worth the wait. The day before we also ate Mama Mia, just as delicious and highly recommended! The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is friendly and kind, overall wonderfull experience.

We had the octopus "peka" at Nono Ban, and it was absolutely perfect — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Easily the best dish we had during our stay on the island of Brač. The staff was friendly, the setting was relaxed and charming, and the whole experience was unforgettable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Speaking of the restaurant only. Very weird and dissapointing experience. First of all, almost no atmosphere on a Friday evening at 9pm. I don't know why I expected this place to be packed but it isn't. The food and price might have something to do with it. There is a lovely Filipino lady serving but she doesn't know much about the food and I'm not sure if there is local staff in the kitchen but we thought it best not to choose the fish dishes. Btw, the price of the fish is very high, considering it's just a regular konoba in the hills 20 minutes outside of Bol (around 90eur/kilo for fresh, not farmed fish. For comparison, in Konoba Ciccio in Murvica, which is on a wonderful beach and 15 minutes of dirt road from Murvica it's 75 eur per kilo). So we chose the tuna carpaccio which was quite tasteless (had avocados? Not exactly a traditional experience) and a veel hamburger which was ok but 18 euros is far too expensive for the experience. The benches are too far away from the stone tables so sitting is uncomfortable. On top of everything, there is what I can only describe as romantic (non-croatian) wedding music playlist blaring from the speakers (they do weddings so maybe it just stuck), adding to the weird, inauthentic feeling. The owners were sat chilling nearby not lifting a finger while the sole filipina waiter tried to serve the 3 tables that were there which is quite off-putting to see and makes you wonder about their work ethics. In short. Average food, weird atmosphere, overpriced, definitely not worth the 20 minute ride from Bol. There are much better restaurants in the town itself. Skip this one.
