Ante Udovičić

"Executive chef Ante Udovičić has worked in Croatia's best restaurants and gained inspiration from other foreign cuisines. Ante is a fanatic for high-quality products. He is a grill-master and works hard to create good food and make impressive dishes out of humble ingredients such as his famous Brač lamb tripe in tomato sauce but there is a wide choice of less ‘exotic’ adventures.

Lemongarden: Elevating Culinary Excellence with Fresh, Local Ingredients

The use of the freshest and highest-quality ingredients, combined with refined cooking techniques and the craftsmanship of the Lemongarden team, results in dishes that are at once complex, elegant, and deeply rooted in Mediterranean tradition. Head chef Ante Udovičić, devoted to exceptional, carefully sourced produce, builds his culinary philosophy around three guiding principles: local, seasonal, and regional.

Through this approach, Udovičić reinterprets traditional Mediterranean dishes in a modern, eclectic style, creating plates that unite authenticity with contemporary expression, simplicity with refinement. Each bite tells the story of Brač, of its flavours, aromas and the unhurried rhythm of life.

Lemongarden is a gastronomic sanctuary where luxury is experienced through authenticity and Mediterranean elegance.


Lemongarden restaurant in the olive field

On special evenings, we come here to grill lamb and suckling pig over the open fire with our guests and enjoy simple, authentic Croatian cuisine and techniques. Good food can be so simple. The large sun terrace offers the perfect view to enjoy the sunset, which makes the mainland mountains glow red. The band plays Croatian folk music to accompany the beautiful view. In autumn, usually at the end of October, we also organize a big festival here where friends and those who are interested help us with the olive harvest and take home their own olive oil as a souvenir.

Surroundings

"Hotel and restaurant alike are built right at the waterfront. Every evening when the heat of the day subsides, the harbour promenade of Sutivan transforms into a Mediterranean catwalk, where locals and guests take strolls. The Lemongarden restaurant is right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle and is the perfect place to watch this spectacle. A somewhat quieter setting is found where you can sit at the tables across the way right on the water. From here, guests can watch the fish splash about the water, and if you reach out your hand, you can almost touch one of the boats that might have caught your dinner."

Heritage Hotel Lemongarden

With a blend of three historical buildings situated among over 150 fragrant lemon trees and surrounded by lush gardens, this luxurious hotel in the heart of Sutivan offers a picturesque oasis where guests can unwind in ultimate comfort.
