What to eat in Croatia? You don't have to ask us twice. We’ve got the hottest tips on where to find the best dishes like boškarin beef, deep-fried fritule, and the inky crni rižot.
Don’t let the tar-like appearance put you off - this Dalmatian seafood risotto is simply delicious. Crni rižot is cooked with rice, squid or cuttlefish, red wine, garlic and olive oil. It’s also got a healthy dose of squid ink, which gives the dish its distinct jet black color and intense flavor, so don't let its appearance put you off.
If you want to try gourmet Croatian cuisine, look no further than boškarin beef, from the white-grey long-horned cattle of Istria, it's found fame as one of the most famous delicacies in Croatia. You’ll love a juicy boškarin steak or boškarin salami, or try it with a bowl of handmade pasta.
Craving something sweet? These donut-like balls or fritule, are made with flour, egg yolks, raisins, lemon zest and a dash of local schnapps, then deep-fried. Topped with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar, sweet-tooths will love this addictive street food.
There’s something extra special about Croatia in the warm sunny days of summer, autumn and spring. From April to October, it's all about beach days and island hopping.
If you’re dreaming of taking a dip in the Adriatic Sea, the best time is anywhere from May to October. The summer months are perfect for lazy days at the beach.
