Hvar for food loversWondering what to eat and drink in Croatia? Croatian food has influences from Italian, Middle Eastern and Ottoman cuisine intermingled with Croatia's Balkan staples. From pasta and pizza to sardines, tuna and sea bream. Plucked from the sea or reared on the land, meat, fish, and veggies are carefully cooked with olive oil, stewed, grilled, or slow-roasted. You will get delicious Mediterranean cuisine with the best of Dalmatia. Try some gregada, a fish stew very popular in Hvar or indulge on Ispod peke, meaning “under the bell”. This slow-cooking method is great for octopus, lamb or beef although you can find other fish in the menu. Have some olive oil on bread, enjoy the istrian truffles, oysters, Pag cheese, pašticada stew, or have the cousin of hamburgers, called pljeskavica. For pudding try some rožata, very similar to crème caramel or eat some štrukli filled with cottage cheese and slathered in cream.
