Pick Your Favourite Dalmatian Specialty

Take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey of Dalmatian cuisine! Regardless if you are a fan of fish and seafood or prefer meat, beautifully prepared specialties represent the very best of Adriatic coast, from the main ingredients to spices and side dishes. Taken with carefully selected wines, they are a guarantee of a wonderful meal.

For a unique gastronomical experience, take a pick among the following:

Dalmatian pašticada

Music to your palate! An exceptional example of slow cooking, the traditional specialty pašticada brings you a true rhapsody of Dalmatian flavours. Having been stuffed with Dalmatian pancetta and onion and left to marinate with root vegetables, wine and spices for several hours, the beef is then cooked ‘slow and low’ for a couple of hours. As it cooks, a few drops of dessert wine, dried plums and figs are added to complete the unforgettable specialty.

The saucy fusion of Dalmatian tastes is usually served with potato gnocchi. To perfectly round off a pašticada meal take it with a glass of native wine crljenak by Kraljevski vinograd.

Monkfish medallions in sage sauce

Devilish looks for a divine taste! Known for its unattractive appearance, the monkfish is a prized Adriatic fish with an amazing taste. What better way to combine the excellent fish fried wrapped in pancetta than with a savory sauce containing shrimp stock, spices, wine and sage?

Fish fan or not, don’t miss the chance to try the irresistible monkfish medallions in sage sauce which are perfectly matched with polenta. Taken with a glass of autochthonous wine pošip by Degara, you’re in for a heavenly meal!

Lobster with homemade pasta

Bow to its majesty, the king of seafood and crabs! For the extraordinary taste of Adriatic perfection, the lobster is prepared with olive oil, onions, salt and pepper, parsley, fresh tomato sauce and some wine.

For a fully rounded meal, the delicious lobster is served with homemade pasta. So, feel the passion with seafood royalty complemented with the amazing white wine Graševina (Cro. Welschriesling) by Krauthaker.

Octopus, cuttlefish and horse bean stew

A dark dish to light up your day! Enjoy a seafood feast with one of its most popular representatives, the octopus, cooked with cuttlefish, onions, salt, pepper and fish stock. The cuttlefish ink is added together with horse beans to this medley of wonderful flavours of the Adriatic coast before the dish is completed. To add a bright colour to a perfect meal, have it served with a rosé wine by Kraljevski vinograd.
