Papillon

It may not be on the busy Vrsar waterfront but the trek up to Papillon, on the outskirts of the historic centre, is well worth the bother. Expertly mixed drinks are served with a smile and a little bowl of nibbles, as if due reward for making the effort up here. All the standards are here, mojitos, martinis and more, complemented by a decent range of Istrian wines and well chosen background music. There’s plenty of terrace space and if it turns a little chilly later, a nice buzz around the bar inside.
