Croatian food is fantastic

Traditional Croatian cuisine bears little resemblance to Austrian, Hungarian, Italian, or Turkish cuisine. Cuisine differs from one place to the next. The Dalmatian coast is known for its traditional Mediterranean food, which consists primarily of greens, olive oil, and fish seasoned with rosemary, parsley, garlic, and other herbs. Zagreb has a central European aesthetic. Meat recipes dominate Zagreb cuisine, with potatoes, root vegetables, and cabbage serving as side dishes.

A must-try Croatian cuisine is Crni rioto (black squid risotto). Mussels, clams, and other shellfish can also be included in this recipe. Zagorski trukli is another local favorite that you must try when in Zagreb. Sour cream, cottage cheese, truffles, or blueberries are filled into this delightful pastry. Paticada, a beef fillet marinated in wine vinegar and served with gnocchi, is one of the most popular Dalmatian recipes.

Brudet (fish stewed with tomato sauce, onions, and spices), Manetra (bean soup filled with pet and cured meats), Soparnik (a traditional Dalmatian pie made with Swiss chard), and Punjena paprika are all must-try classics (bell peppers stuffed with rice, minced meat and spices).
