Bota Šare Restaurant & Oyster Bar

The successful gastronomic story of the Šare family began in this restaurant, and then spread out to four more from Dubrovnik to Zagreb. This, their first, is located in a medieval castle on the coast in Mali Ston. The name Bota comes from the arched ceiling. Even though you can order meat prepared on a real wood-fired grill, Šare is patronised for its shellfish, fish and wine. This family business developed out of shellfish-farming and wine-making. If you start with shellfish, then choose black cuttlefish risotto. Those who want to experiment a little more can choose home-made black gnocchi with Adriatic scampi and shrimps. You can then finish your meal with Ston macaroni cake whose traditional rigatoni recipe dates back to Medieval Ages.
