Konoba BOLAT – Peka, Grill, and Tranquility of Eastern Hvar
Konoba BOLAT is located in the hamlet of Jerkovići near Selca, close to Bogomolje, along the main island road connecting Sućuraj with the rest of Hvar. Instead of a waterfront, marina, and tourist crowds, visitors come here among a few old stone houses, greenery, and the peaceful interior of eastern Hvar.
The tavern is decorated in a rustic Dalmatian style, featuring a spacious outdoor area with views that open towards the sea and Pelješac across the island landscape. The kitchen focuses on peka, grilled dishes, octopus, fish, and meat, catering to those who intentionally seek out such food rather than stopping by casually.
BOLAT is particularly suitable for guests looking to take a break from seaside restaurants and enjoy lunch or dinner in a distinctly different setting.
The Small Stone Hamlet of Jerkovići
Jerkovići is one of the small hamlets of eastern Hvar that one could easily pass through without a reason to stop.
It is located approximately 10 kilometers west of Sućuraj, along the main road to Bogomolje. The hamlet consists of just a few old stone houses, and Konoba BOLAT is one of the few reasons why guests who do not stay nearby visit during the summer.
This location gives the tavern its character. There is no urban hustle, promenade, or tables crowded next to neighboring establishments. Surrounding it are stone, maquis, and a quieter island landscape.
Peka is One of the Main Dishes
One of the dishes that particularly distinguishes BOLAT is peka.
The preparation of peka requires time, so it is advisable to place an order in advance for octopus or any other dish prepared in this manner, especially when coming with a larger group. Current sources highlight octopus under peka and recommend prior notice.
This is the type of dish that makes more sense in such a tavern than in a restaurant where dinner is planned hastily. BOLAT is a better choice for a slower lunch or dinner where enough time is set aside.
Octopus and Fish
The seafood offerings are not limited to peka.
The current menu includes grilled octopus, fish, and other seafood dishes, with frequently mentioned items such as octopus salad and various fish preparations.
For fish, it is best to check what is available that day rather than expecting the same selection throughout the season.
The food concept is simple and fits the ambiance: quality ingredients, grill or peka, and a few classic side dishes.
Lamb and Grilled Meat
BOLAT is not exclusively a fish tavern.
An important part of the offering includes grilled lamb, mixed meat, pork chops, burgers, chicken, and other grilled dishes. The current menus and business profiles of the tavern highlight grill, meat, and seafood as the three main categories of offerings.
This is practical for larger groups where some guests prefer octopus or fish, while others choose meat.
Grilled lamb fits particularly well into this ambiance – a simple dish that does not require complicated presentation.
Grilling Over Open Fire
One of the characteristic elements of BOLAT is the preparation of food on a real grill or fire, which aligns well with the rustic concept of the tavern.
This is reflected in the food selection: here, the emphasis is more on meat, fish, and grilled octopus than on a wide variety of pasta, modern sauces, or complex restaurant plates.
If a more traditional cooking method and the atmosphere of an old island tavern are sought, this is the main advantage of BOLAT.
Terrace and View Towards Pelješac
The tavern has outdoor seating, and due to its location in a higher part of eastern Hvar, the terrace offers views of the surrounding landscape, sea, and Pelješac.
The ambiance is completely different from restaurants on the Sućuraj waterfront. Instead of boats in front of the table, there is tranquility, stone houses, and open island space.
It is especially pleasant in the evening when the summer heat subsides and the sun is not as strong.
A Good Choice for Families
The area around the tavern is not cramped like restaurants in the old town center.
The outdoor space provides more room and freedom, making BOLAT practical for families with children. The tavern is intended for sitting and enjoying a longer meal, rather than a quick pass through a restaurant.
For larger groups, making a reservation is advisable, especially if peka or a specific dish that needs to be prepared in advance is desired.
How to Reach Konoba BOLAT
The easiest way to get there is by car.
The tavern is located along the road between Sućuraj and Bogomolje, in the hamlet of Jerkovići. From Sućuraj, one should drive west along the main island road towards Bogomolje and Jelsa.
It is approximately 10 kilometers from Sućuraj to Jerkovići, while Bogomolje is a few kilometers further west.
Since it is not located by the sea or in a larger settlement, it is not a place that most guests will reach on foot. For tourists exploring the eastern part of Hvar, a car or scooter is much more practical.
Parking
Unlike restaurants in the center of Sućuraj, access by car here is easier, and there is parking available near the establishment.
This is beneficial for families, larger groups, and guests visiting BOLAT on their way between Sućuraj and the central part of Hvar.
However, during the peak season, it is advisable to arrive a bit earlier if one wants to settle in without rushing before a reserved meal.
Payment and Reservation
Current information for Konoba BOLAT indicates cash payment, so it is useful to keep this in mind before arrival.
Reservations are recommended, and for dishes like octopus under peka, it is particularly important to check availability and arrange preparation in advance.
This is one of those taverns where it is better to call and arrange what you want to eat rather than arrive without notice and expect every dish to be available at all times.
Is it Worth Stopping by When Passing Towards Bogomolje?
Yes, especially if you are looking for a completely different ambiance from coastal restaurants.
BOLAT fits well into the drive between Sućuraj and Bogomolje, but it has enough character to justify a special trip from Sućuraj.
It makes the most sense for guests who want peka, grill, octopus, fish, or lamb, along with a peaceful rustic ambiance and views of eastern Hvar and Pelješac.
For a quick meal by the sea, there are more practical options in Sućuraj. For a slower meal in an old Hvar hamlet, BOLAT is much more interesting.
