While the food and the ambiance was OK, nothing to rave about. We couldn't believe when they tried to cheat us on our second bottle of wine. They brought it to the table opened (it was the most expensive local one they had on the menu) and tried to convince us that it was the same as the first bottle... More

The location and ambiance will lure you in, but the prices will want to drive you away - don't leave! The prices aren't getting better around the corner, so sit down and enjoy the experience here. The fish dishes are fantastic. You're on an island - you came for a full dose of island rejuvenation. You'll get that here! The... More

It's a trap, they sell lobster/ langoustine risotto and serve a shrimp one instead. When I asked them if by any chance I said shrimp instead of lobster, they said that this was langoustine in french. Fortunately I can speak french very well and then I knew that something was definitely wrong. Long story short I didn't eat the dish... More

Pretty and tucked away it is a nice location and atmosphere. My husband had mussels and they were delicious. I had the lobster spaghetti (about $35) and it was very medicore. The lobster was tough and overcooked, and the spaghetti was really good but tasted like that was because there was a lot of butter. The service was nothing special.... More

A year-round resident of Hvar recommended Macondo to us for great seafood and we were not disappointed. On one of the side streets in the old city, Macondo exuded energy as we walked up to it. There were no tables outside, so we sat inside, which was just as pleasant. The service was appropriately efficient and friendly. We had the... More

We ate at four different restaurants in Hvar. Macondo would be rated three out of four. The staff is pleasant enough, and some dishes (boiled prawns and fried calamari) were good. But others were curiously mediocre. Think risotto with the shellfish still in the shells or very oily pasta. The prices were *very* high, up to $40/entree. We had better... More

After a long morning of shopping and checking out the sites of Hvar (of which there are many) my wife and I were looking for a good place to have lunch. On the recommendation of one the shop owners (always a potential conflict of interest in small towns ) we made our way up the steps to Macondo which is... More
