Marshal Restaurant Club – Fish, Steaks and Pizza on a Large Terrace by the Sea

Marshal Restaurant Club is located right by the coast, between the centre of Vis and Prirovo, within the Marshal Club Hotel. The spacious terrace overlooks the Vis Bay and the entrance to the harbour, making the sea a constant part of the ambience – from morning coffee and breakfast to dinner and late-night drinks.

Unlike traditional konobas in Vis, Marshal does not have a limited menu. The selection is extensive, and the restaurant operates throughout the day: breakfast is served in the morning, followed by pizza or lighter meals later on, while more substantial fish and meat dishes, pastas, risottos, and several sharing plates are available for lunch and dinner.

The cuisine is predominantly Mediterranean, yet modern and international enough to allow for a combination of fresh fish, black risotto, steak, burgers, and pizza at the same table.

Tuna, Octopus and Seafood Starters

The seafood section of the menu begins with starters. You can order tuna tartare, tuna carpaccio, octopus salad, a cold cocktail of local prawns, and prawns with rosemary.

There is also fish soup, making it easy to create a dinner entirely focused on seafood before moving on to the main course.

If dining with a group, several seafood starters for the centre of the table is a good way to sample more dishes without ordering a large number of separate plates.

Fresh Fish, Squid and Octopus

The main course selection of seafood is quite broad.

The menu features sea bream with Swiss chard and potatoes, sea bass, tuna steak, grilled squid, octopus tentacles, and a stew of clams and mussels. A fish platter for two is also available, which is a practical choice if you wish to combine several types of seafood at the table.

The availability of fresh fish may depend on the catch and the season, so it is worth inquiring about the best options of the day upon arrival.

The preparation remains sufficiently Mediterranean to keep the fish at the forefront, while the sides and presentation lean more towards a contemporary restaurant than a traditional konoba.

Black Risotto, Prawns and Pasta

A significant portion of the menu is dedicated to risottos and pastas.

This includes cuttlefish black risotto, one of the classic Dalmatian dishes, as well as more modern combinations like prawn and truffle risotto and šurlica with prawns and truffles.

Also on offer are pappardelle bolognese, Cacio e Pepe, and vegetarian pasta.

This part of the menu is suitable for guests who do not want a whole fish or a large steak but are still looking for a substantial main course.

Steaks, Burgers and Meat Dishes

Marshal is not a restaurant solely focused on fish. The meat section of the menu is serious enough that one can easily come here specifically for steak.

Options include beefsteak and ribeye, accompanied by various sides and sauces. For a more casual meal, there is the Marshal Smash burger with fries, Philly cheesesteak, and chicken with vegetables.

This selection is particularly suitable for larger groups, as there is no need to choose a restaurant based on whether everyone wants fish or meat.

Pizza from Their Own Selection

Interestingly, Marshal also has a separate pizza menu, allowing for a more informal meal.

Alongside classics like Capricciosa, Diavola, Napoletana, and vegetarian pizza, there are Marshal Signature, Adriatic, and Bianca.

Pizza here is not merely an afterthought on the children's menu but a distinct part of the offering, which means Marshal can also serve as a simpler option after a day at the beach or during the day when a full restaurant meal is not desired.

Breakfast by the Sea

Marshal is one of the restaurants in this part of Vis where you can enjoy a proper breakfast.

The offering includes eggs, eggs with salmon, granola, açaí bowl, fruit platter, smoothies, Caprese, and the more substantial Marshal breakfast.

Due to its seaside location, the morning is one of the most pleasant times to be on the terrace. The Vis Bay is calmer than in the evening, and the restaurant has a completely different atmosphere than it does later in the day.

Desserts

The dessert selection is varied enough that you need not seek another place for something sweet after dinner.

Particularly noteworthy is the Marshal carob cake with chocolate, an interesting choice due to the carob traditionally used on the Dalmatian islands.

Other options include mascarpone cream with raspberries, lava cake with vanilla ice cream, flourless chocolate-almond cake, fruit salad, and Italian gelato.

Vis Wines and Cocktails

The wine list is particularly interesting due to labels from Vis.

It features wines from local producers, including Vislander and Atlija, with a special mention for the local Vugava. If you are having fish or seafood risotto, local white wine is one of the most natural choices.

In addition to wine, Marshal has a full bar offering cocktails, premium spirits, beer, coffee, and soft drinks.

As a result, the terrace remains lively after dinner – you can stay for a glass of wine or a cocktail by the sea.

Spacious Terrace Overlooking the Vis Bay

The ambience is one of Marshal's greatest advantages.

The restaurant features a large covered terrace right by the sea, open to the Vis Bay and the harbour entrance. The tables are not crammed against a narrow promenade, making the space feel significantly more open than many restaurants in the old town centre.

During the day, the view of the sea is the main backdrop, while in the evening, the space takes on a more elegant lounge character with lighting, music, and a large central bar.

Marshal thus works well for families, larger groups, and for dinner when you wish to stay for drinks without moving to another venue.

Parking

One of the practical advantages of Marshal compared to most restaurants in the centre of Vis is its own parking on the premises.

If arriving by car from Komiža, Rukavac, Milna, or the interior of the island, there is no need to search for public parking in the centre and then continue on foot.

For guests already staying in the town, the restaurant is easily accessible on foot along the coastal promenade.

Reservations

The large terrace has plenty of space, but making a reservation for dinner during the peak season is advisable, especially for larger groups or if you wish for a table closer to the sea.

Reservations can also be made for breakfast or lunch, but evening slots are the most sought after.

Due to the combination of restaurant and lounge bar, Marshal is also suitable for private celebrations and larger gatherings.
