Konoba Porat

We went to this restaurant for a late dinner at Vodice, Croatia.

Ordered the green noodle pasta with shrimp. Also tried a local wine called Babic. Everything tasted great.

Eat Me

We stopped by here for lunch at Zadar.

I ordered the Penne Carbonara and added chicken, with a merlot to compliment it. Food and drink were great.

Bona Fide

We went here for brunch on the last day of the festival (recommended by Milly). Ordered a Serbian dish (which is also served by neighboring countries like Croatia, and got something called pljeskavice. It tastes sort of like a burger, but more plain. Don’t think I would get it again. I did get a latte, and it was actually pretty good (I think they added a little bit of sugar on it). The orange sauce pictured below was good with bread. Also tried the grilled chicken from a friend, and it tasted good (I would get that dish).

One side note is that they have limited alcohol (couldn’t make a mai tai, and no Prosecco).

Loca Villa

Got afternoon drinks here with some friends we met at the festival. Service was really shitty, but the Pina Colada was good.

Hotel Borovnik

We stopped by here after venturing around the Tisno bridge.

Got the chicken appetizer dish, and a mimosa (they didn’t know what it was, so they put wayyyy too much orange juice). The chicken appetizer was really good, and the white sauce on it was pretty interesting. Also got a latte to go, and it was decent. I would come back to this place again.

Wabi Sabi

This restaurant is on site at the Garden Tisno. Got to say that the service is super slow (from food delivery to getting the bill).

In terms of food, the prawn linguini was ok (sauce was a bit sour for my taste). Also, ordered a Prosecco, and it was too flat (and didn’t taste right.

On a later day got the lemon juice. It was freshly squeezed, but also too sour.

Carmen

Went to this place for brunch the second day at defected. Ordered the lasagna with white wine. It’s were excellent. The view was also excellent.

Update (8/8/2021): got scrambled eggs with ham plus a latte. All pretty good (also the toast and butter were good… apparently butter in Europe is different).

Update (8/9/2021): got an omelette. Also good, but would get the two dishes above over the omelette.

Alviz

We found this restaurant by basically following our noses. The smell from the outside was of really good pizza.

When we got to the restaurant, they took us to the back where there was garden seating.

I got tagliatelle with beef (in some sort of mushroom sauce). It was really good. Also paired it with Prosecco, and have to admit the Prosecco here is also really good (there’s a hint of sweetness to it, and it isn’t too bitter. Definitely would come back here again.

PS. Also tried my friend’s mushroom chicken and grilled zucchini, and they did not disappoint.

Bepo

Went here for brunch on the second day at Hvar.

Got scrambled eggs with bacon. Eggs were great, but bacon was too salty. Also, asked for a mimosa. The waiter said they didn’t have any, but in fact they did (got “champagne” instead, but it ended up being some sort so sparkling rose). Also got a latte at the end, and it wasn’t good.

Overall, it’s, not that I wouldn’t come back here but I think there are other places I would wanna check out.

Restaurant Mizerola

We found this restaurant walking around Hvar at night. Most restaurants were busy, and this one had space. Overall a great find.

I got a pizza (mushroom, salami, cheese), and for drinks got a wine from Hvar (called global wine). The pizza was good, and the wine was ok. Would come here again, but would also try other places in the area.
