Drinks & Nightlife

Stari Grad is not known for its nightlife (Hvar Town is where you pop to for that) but we do have an excellent award winning cocktail bar that is must visit whist here and there are a handful of other cafes and bars all serving up cold beers and fine local wines.
Lampedusa really is a fabulous place to watch Stari Grad spring into life especially at sunset. Marko has created an excellent cocktail menu with a mix of classic and signature cocktails and he recently represented Croatia in the Havana Club International Cocktail Grand Prix competition, so sit back and relax as you have a sundowner in Stari Grad. Lampedusa is also open all day for coffees etc as well as other delicious drinks. www.facebook.com/LampedusaBar/ +385959004206

Hidden Gems in the Stari Grad Bay on the beach

A few really special places that you need a water taxi to get to (it is possible by road but far better by sea). Unique, wonderful and an absolute must when staying with us.
Where to start….This is simply one of my most favourite places on earth. It’s simple Robinson Crusoe feel, its unique spirit and the way it has grown organically from a small unknown secret restaurant on the waters edge to a must go to place is remarkable. Its small menu or fresh fish or meat cooked on the fire or the local Peka dish (must reserve a day in advance) is all you need at this family run slice of paradise. It is not showy, there isn’t a big wine list, some basic cocktails are on hand and a few soft drinks are all you need whilst you relax on a sun bed or dive into the crystal clear sea before eating. It’s a big favourite with sailors so there is always boats moored up but just go what ever you do. If you want fancy service and huge choice….this is not your place, its all about the soul of this place. www.facebook.com/Tina.launch bar/ +385989282090

Vaiana Beach is a new beach bar/restaurant in a tranquil bay surrounded by nature. It’s stylish design and relaxed vibe is just perfect for getting away from the stresses of everyday life. Book a huge comfortable sun bed and spend the day drinking excellent cocktails, chilled local wines and delicious Modern European food. The small menu is perfect for beach time with healthy salads (I love the goats cheese and blueberry) or skewers of chicken with the best potato wedges. I could stay here all day every day if I could. You really must go Jump on the water taxi and have a wonderful day or early evening. www.facebook.com/VaianaBeachHvar/ +385955695596

Restaurants in Stari Grad

Stari Grad is blessed with so many excellent restaurants that you will be spoilt for choice. Most offer up fresh local Croatian cuisine with a handful inspired by the Italians, some modern European and even some Asian influences.
A stones throw from Hidden House, with a Mediterranean menu including Dalmatian specialities, full of fresh local ingredients cooked to perfection is one of our favourites. Situated on the same street as us with tables on the historic cobbled alleyways, as well as inside this ancient stone house, it is charming with friendly service. The wine list is excellent and this year Chris will be providing a delicious cocktail menu to compliment the fine food www.facebook.com/antikabarandrestaurant/ +385997981734

Right next door to Hidden House is this gem of a family restaurant. Husband and wife team have created a charming restaurant serving excellent Croatian and Mediterranean cuisine made with organic home grown vegetables and a chef who really knows her sauces. Full of flavour and a small, fresh menu with daily specials depending on what fish has been caught and what is ready in the garden. This restaurant has been serving food since 1917 and has had some very illustrious guests come through its doors. www.jurin-podrum.business.site +385911766013

One of our favourite places to go for fresh local fish. A longstanding family restaurant that always delivers. They also have some fine home made pasta and ravioli dishes and lovely cakes. Great service, fabulous location, what’s not to love. www.facebook.com/RestaurantKodBarbaLuke/ +385915945718

So pleased to see Vinko re open this year. A lovely small courtyard where you can see the chef cook his fine Croatian cuisine, tucked away from any crowds on the way to the monastery. More tables line this old cobbled street leading out of Stari Grad. www.facebook.com/Konoba batana/ +385958618381

Another favourite of ours, located in the prettiest of squares just down the street to Hidden House. Friendly service blended with Dalmatian cuisine, incorporating bold flavours and twists on classic dishes all washed down with a great wine list. www.facebook.com/RestaurantLaGitana/ +385996388467

Good friends of ours opened Nook a few years ago and its been a firm favourite for many of us in Stari Grad as it is the only restaurant in Stari Grad to do things a little differently. Croatian cuisine is simply amazing but sometimes you just need a good Asian curry, some sushi or a beyond vegan burger as well as many other delights. A fabulous courtyard garden, friendly service and this eclectic Asian fashion, vegetarian and vegan menu is all rather lovely and don’t forget to leave room for a desert as they are equally delicious as the rest of the menu. www.m Facebook.com/nookstarigrad/ +385977405797
