How to get to the hottest lounge bar in Croatia that everyone is talking about?

Bowa Restaurant is located in a quiet bay of the largest and best-preserved island of the Elaphiti islands – beautiful Šipan.

Šipan is an island of rosemary and mesmerizing sunsets. The boat ride from Dubrovnik to Šipan doesn’t last much longer than half an hour.

How it all started?

Three young men were partners in this project with the same passion. Passion for top-quality food preparation, fresh ingredients, and nature. They envisioned a” Robinson Crusoe” getaway with a touch of “fine dining in the jungle.”

It all came true because… 

“EVERYTHING YOU CONSUME IS CAUGHT, FARMED, OR PRODUCED WITHIN A RADIUS OF 50 KM FROM YOUR CHAIR. ” 

BOWA’s exquisite gastronomic offer quickly won the hearts of local and foreign jet setters. They say that the secret of BOWA’s success lies in its connection with nature.

The unique menu is a tribute to the traditional cuisine of our grandmothers, which reminds us of smells, tastes, and precious memories from our childhood.

So far, there has been no lack of fresh creative ideas, and the ingredients that make up the delicious specialties of the BOWA restaurant come exclusively from domestic cultivation and local eco-farms.
