Everything about Nonica is meticulously arranged, from a beautiful location in the centre of Hvar to the house in which it sits, a stunning Gothic structure from the 15th century. The food? Where to start? As the name suggests, the pastries that pack the shelves are straight out of tradition and lore, the types of dishes that grandmothers (“Nonica” being the local loving term for grandma) have been preparing for centuries. Traditional, gorgeous, perfect.
