Croatian Gastronomy

Croatian gastronomy is a unique gem in the world of cuisine and an essential ingredient in discovering the culture of the region.

The creative energies and talent presented in the dishes served in Croatia today are truly outstanding. From authentic local food to fine dining – the scene is vibrant, and exciting!

What better way is there to learn about culture than through its food?

In concert with ancient culinary tradition, the food at the table reflects the bounty of the season. Much of Croatia’s foods are produced within a 10-mile radius, allowing diners to taste the freshness of locally grown organic produce.

Our travelers revel in the diverse flavors:

• white truffles of Istria in the fall
• wild asparagus in the springtime
• the bounty of seafood from the surrounding Adriatic waters
• the famous paški sir (sheep milk cheese) from the island of Pag
• award winning olive oil from the  olive groves of Istria.
• traditional konobas
• perfectly cured pršut (prosciutto)
• Peka – prepared “under the bell”
• With the perfect wine pairings from the outstanding local wineries, these flavors are enhanced to create an exceptional culinary experience.

For those interested in the local flavors, we recommend only the best dining experiences, catering to our travelers’ personal tastes while providing access to authentic regional cuisines. Each suggestion we make is based on a personal inspection, so we can attest to the superb quality of every locale.

Our services extend beyond restaurant recommendations as we offer our travelers exclusive opportunities to experience the region’s delightful flavors.

We can arrange private cooking lessons with professional chefs, wine tastings and meetings with the extraordinary wine producers of Croatia, and fishing in the Adriatic Sea to dine on the catch of the day.
