If you’re beginning to tire of Opatija’s haughty belle-epoque self-image then it’s high time you headed for Monokini, where sixties’ inspired furniture and sculptural light fittings provide a this-is-not-the-riviera-of-old sense of pop-art modernity. Changing exhibitions of art and photography enliven the walls, while the bendy bit of metal below the bar throws hall-of-mirrors reflections back on bemused drinkers. The street-facing terrace is a great place to slump if there’s enough sunshine. In the evening, DJ decks in the corner provide the source of chillout sounds or frisky bone-bending beats, depending on what night of the week it is.
