We wanted something casual for dinner after a long day and we were exhausted to get dressed up for dining, so we decided to just pick up pizza and empanadas (from the same place as yesterday) for dinner. Boy, was it a smart choice. We just got pizza from the most convenient place to us and it was SO good. I usually don’t like to eat pizza in the States, but anywhere in Europe, I do. I know I sound a bit of a snob when it comes to certain food… 

Then for  dessert, I had this dark chocolate with olive oil I purchased from this cute shop I found in Stari Grad.

After driving through the island, we stopped here to cool off before heading back to our hotel.

One of the oldest city in Europe, Stari Grad is an idyllic destination. Tucked into a deep bay, this picture-perfect town is steeped in history and has many cute little restaurants and shops in every allies. Such a beautiful town!

To Start Grad

This restaurant called Alavia is not to be missed! 

We rented a car to explore the island. First stop? Lavender field with a view!

I mean… pressed juices, smoothies, avocado toast, eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, pastries, not to mentioned truffle hash brown and omelette… you name it, they made it the best! AND they brought me this morning’s freshly caught oysters to taste! I don’t think I can ever top this. Can I live here??!!

Hidden off the main drag, we actually found lovely Argentinian restaurant where Andrew showed off his Spanish befriended the owner. Andrew’s been on a long hunt for some authentic Argentinian empanadas and he found it here! Let the record show that he came back here for takeouts two more times while we were in Hvar. It was THAT good. 

We’ll be staying at this gorgeous Palace Elisabeth for the next 4 days exploring the island of Hvar!
