Nestled in the charming town of Bol on the island of Brač, Ranc Restaurant offers an authentic Croatian dining experience that captivates the senses and warms the soul. Located at Hrvatskih Domobrana 23, this culinary gem specializes in fresh seafood and premium quality meats, making it a top destination for discerning food lovers seeking genuine flavors away from the usual tourist spots.
From the moment you step into Ranc, you are embraced by a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. Multiple terraces surrounded by lush greenery provide intimate settings for couples and groups alike, while the cozy garden area invites you to relax and savor each bite amidst a calming ambiance. The attentive staff, including standout servers like Ivana, Miro, and Alexander, elevate the experience with their warm hospitality and expert recommendations.
The menu is a celebration of coastal and continental Croatian cuisine, artfully prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Seafood enthusiasts will delight in dishes like mixed shell platters and black squid ink risotto, each dish boasting briny, ocean-fresh flavors and tender textures. Meat lovers are equally well served, with the meat platter for two stealing the spotlight — a generous assortment of succulent skewers, juicy beefsteaks, and other premium cuts grilled to perfection. One unforgettable highlight is the lamb peka, slow-cooked under coals until the meat falls off the bone, paired with homemade dense bread that soaks up every savory drop.
Diners frequently praise the thoughtful wine pairings, as expertly suggested by the staff, and rave about the decadent chocolate desserts that provide a sweet finish to an already memorable meal. The combination of exquisite tastes and soothing surroundings create a dining experience that guests return to year after year.
Customer reviews reflect a consistent admiration for both the cuisine and the service. One guest shared, “We had dinner there two nights in one week and were pleasantly surprised with good fish first and great steaks the second time,” while another described the restaurant as “a great place for authentic food, beautiful setting, and friendly, professional service.” Birthdays, intimate dinners, or casual gatherings all find the perfect home here.

We had dinner there 2 nights in one week and we were pleasantly surprised with good fish first and great steaks the second time. The waitress Ivana was very attentive, giving best suggestions, from the wine selection to the chocolate desert, which was simply amazing. We'll come back next summer .

The food and service were excellent and we will definitely come back! The restaurant has several terraces where you can eat, so you will surely find a spot that suits your party. We ordered the meat platter for two and had more than enough to eat. The meat platter includes various kinds of high quality cuts of meat. We were especially impressed by the skewers and the beefsteak. The platter also comes with roasted potatoes, assorted grilled vegetables, and ajvar. We ordered a seasonal salad and for dessert a chocolate cake with walnuts. The waitress was very kind and knowledgeable about the food and wine.

One of the best restaurant in Bol (island of Brač). We found this place because we got sucked into the tourist trap in the town centre and were looking for something more authentic. Ranc restaurant did not disappoint at all. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, the setting is beautiful and the service was friendly and professional. We ordered the mixed shells, black squid-ink risotto, grilled calamari and grilled scampi with tagliatelle. Every meal was outstanding and we would 100% go back and dine there again. Do yourself a favour and avoid the town centre of Bol where you get cheap and nasty food — come to Ranc and experience real, authentic Croatian food. 5 stars all around and thank you for such a memorable meal.

If you're looking for Peka, then this is a great place for it in Bol! Highly recommend. We had the lamb peka ( lamb and potatoes/few carrots slow cooked under coals for the day). We booked it the day before and we were NOT disappointed! Just beautiful with their homemade bread ( dense, warn and melts in thr mouth with the juices of the peka). Service was excellent and the whole atmosphere relaxing on a beautiful evening.

The best restaurant in Bol! Such a welcoming atmosphere with the best staff and outstanding food! We went 2 times and both of them were incredible! We ordered the Greek salad, the fish and seafood plate for 2 on one day, and meat with mushrooms and pasta with seafood on the other and it was all super fresh and delicious, can't recommend it enough! Awesome place to take pictures as it is under some grape trees and has an awesome view of the ocean. Shoutout to Lac and all of the staff for making our visit extra special both of the times!
