Croatia: Bistro Salvatore (August 2016)




My spouse and I stopped at both locations of Bistro Salvatore as we walked along the Old Town City Walls on a Saturday afternoon in late August 2016. When we began our journey on a hot sunny day, we did not expect to encounter any refreshments as we strolled along the wall, so we were overjoyed to find these bistros in the most unexpected place.

Bistro Salvatore occupies two different spectacular locations on the wall. Walking from the Pile Gate in a clockwise direction, the first location of enjoys a dramatic sea view, with seating on an outdoor patio promontory at high-top tables for two with high-backed chairs. The second location also enjoys a water view and a glimpse at Lokrum Island, with seating at standard-height tables and chairs.
Both locations serve coffee, freshly squeezed juices, beer, cocktails, and ice cream (and according to some reviews, light fare such as omelettes in the mornings and sandwiches in the afternoon, although we did not see a menu). Each venue provides bathroom facilities for their guests. You can buy local souvenirs at either bistro; however, the first location also includes a small art gallery adjacent. We paid 84 Kunas ($12) for one round of drinks (a beer and the house specialty Salvatore cocktail).

Be sure to stop at one (or both!) locations of Bistro/Caffee Bar Salvatore to enjoy a break in an amazing setting!
