If you find yourself in a new place, the first rule of travel is to try the traditional dishes of that place. In order to save you time and "put you out of your sweet misery", we bring you the most famous dishes of the island of Krk and recommendations of restaurants in Njivice.
The traditional dishes of the island of Krk are unique, with enchanting flavors that were recognized even by the ancient Romans. Legend has it that Krk lamb was eaten at Nero's famous feasts in Rome which also indicates the Romans' good taste for food. ("Our food is the most delicious food" - words of every nation) Joking aside, Krk dishes have been known for many years as authentic dishes with a long tradition. Some of the most famous dishes are: Krk prosciutto, homemade sheep's cheese, šurlice and macaroni pasta, sea bass in a salt crust, and, of course, Krk lamb.
In addition to the taste of the food, great importance is also given to the aesthetics of the food so that everything is “pleasant to both the eye and palate.”
