Located in the Southeast Europe and nestled along the Adriatic Coast, Croatia is a home to a burgeoning restaurant scene. With many best, Michelin star rewarded restaurants, hidden in tiny coves, known to locals and to a special few and accessible exclusively by boat, Croatia is a foodie dream come true.
From the rolling hills and olive groves of Istria in the west ,to the turquoise waters of Dalmatia in the south, and vast, castle dotted plains in northern Slavonia, Croatia is a country of beautiful contrasts. With fresh herbs and vegetables throughout its coastal region and thanks to its abundant seafood selection, warm climate, and centuries of trade with and occupation by Greeks, Italians, and Turks, Dalmatia boasts much of the healthy and tasty cuisine the Mediterranean is known for.
Dalmatia has plenty of olive oil, shellfish, and pasta, as well as some terms that may look familiar, like “rizot” (“risotto”) and “skampi” (“scampi”) but for these and many more local yet world renowned delicacies you must come and see what the new generation of Croatian chefs can create with mouthwatering local ingredients.

The various herbs come from our own garden and fruit and vegetables from the local organic farms. Fish and seafood come fresh daily directly from the local fishermen.
