Dubrovnik is capable meeting even the finest expectations from its visitors. The
town of museums and festivals, town of taverns and restaurants, a place of
moderate Mediterranean climate and beautiful landscapes truly confirms the
famous quote by Irish writer Bernard Shaw: "Those who seek heaven on Earth must
come to Dubrovnik". You will truly feel special staying at any one of the hotels
in Dubrovnik, drinking coffee while enjoying the view of Lovrijenac, one of the
towers in Dubrovnik, where the now legendary “Hamlet” is performed as part of
the Dubrovnik Summer Games Festival or tasting rozata, a delicious, traditional
dessert.
Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic, has been added
to UNESCO’s World Heritage list and this status is proved by the 1436
protected historical buildings.
The historical city of Dubrovnik, the former center of the Dubrovnik Republic, is surrounded by city walls 2 km long which defended the city
against attack both on land and at sea for centuries. Within the city walls a beautiful city developed with many churches, palaces and
cultural monuments as well as the Stradun, a well known boardwalk for both young and old from all over the world which was once the stage for
all major events. Many islands close by, a crystal blue sea, rich natural and cultural heritage, the Mljet National Park, historical
villas and promenades are what make the Dubrovnik Riviera one of the most attractive destinations in Croatia. Here one can enjoy various
activities, have fun all night long, enjoy autochthonic food and wine and the hospitality of the people.
Gastronomy
Of course, first thing that comes to mind when we mention the food of
Dubrovnik is a typical sweet dish from this area, called rozata. Rozata is a
thick cream made of eggs, flour and milk, served cold and covered with caramel syrup.
But Dubrovnik offers you a lot of good and tasty food prepared according to
old recipes. Dubrovnik's tables offer a lot of fish in olive oil
guaranteeing good health. There are also vegetables, which are usually
prepared simply, just cooked in salt water and dressed again with olive oil.
One of the sweet specialties is also sugared lemon and orange peel which go
especially well with some liquors.
Allow friendly Dubrovnik residents to recommend you with some of the specialties you can taste in local restaurants which are a pleasure to eat
in since you can see from almost every one a beautiful view over the town or romantic blue of the sea.

Food Products - Restaurant Nautika Dubrovnik
The changing seasons largely dictate the different ingredients that we work with.
Every morning our supplier is down at Dubrovnik harbor to meet the local fishermen as they bring in their catch. The gardens at Konavle and Župa are an endless source of fresh fruits and vegetables, but our initial ideas often come from the local market at Gruž.
We also work with some rural smallholdings that produce organic fruit and vegetables.
These suppliers generally only work for us and this ensures that we get the best of the best.
A Taste of Croatia...savoring the food, people and traditions of Croatia's Adriatic coast...is both a user-friendly cookbook and an intriguing travel memoir dedicated to the land that the New York Times recently dubbed the "New Riviera." Packed with straight-forward recipes, photos, food facts and anecdotes, the author has created a publication that goes beyond the bounds of what makes a great cookbook...she delivers the spirit of the culture, the country and the cuisine and then ties it all together with a collection of recipes that will make you want to run to your kitchen and start cooking. Today, throughout America, we are hearing more and more about the benefits of eating fresh, seasonal, local foods that are grown and produced using sustainable methods. However, for today's cooks, it can be difficult to know exactly how to incorporate these concepts into our busy lives without it being too complicated, time consuming or expensive. Toss in a dash of ethnicity and even the most competent home cook can become discouraged.
Fear not: A Taste of Croatia provides a straightforward and easy way to celebrate a culture whose dishes can be created anywhere fresh ingredients can be found...all the while capturing you with an inspiring story that will allow you to set out on your own adventure...without leaving your favorite chair.
A Taste of Croatia is based on the author and her husband's three-year odyssey sailing the Adriatic coast and living aboard their 50-foot sailboat. It is the story of the lands they explored, the people they met, the markets they visited and the foods they enjoyed.
Presented as a well organized, easy-to-use cookbook, most of the recipes have been savored by generations of Croatians and all of the recipes have been adapted for use in American kitchens. It is the author's hope to provide each reader with his or her own enriching, delicious, inspiring and thought-provoking "taste of Croatia."
