Restaurants in Hvar
You can eat incredibly well on Hvar, but often at a price, especially if you’re in a prime spot in Hvar Town or on the nearby Pakleni islets. Most eateries put an emphasis on local seasonal produce and freshly caught seafood. For a cheaper option, there are some very good pizzerias. Alternatively, drive out of town to a more low-key destination like Stari Grad or Milna. Tip:For a sweet treat, visit Nonica (tel.091/739-23-90)at Kroz Burak 23 in Hvar Town for irresistible chocolate cakes and cookies, made by the owner-cook, who studied at Le Cordon Bleu London.
