Zagreb 🍖 Restoran Uspinjača – Croatian dishes with a Chinese twist! Braised lamb (like red-cooked pork), mushroom rice (think "gaifan"), and slightly salty pumpkin soup. 🍕 Franko’s Pizza & Bar – Euro Top 45 spot! Perfect Margherita with crispy crust. 🍦 VINCEK – Famous for gelato and decadent desserts. 🍖 Nokturno – Must-try fall-off-the-bone pork ribs. ☕ QUAHWA Coffee – House-roasted beans (great for souvenirs). 🥪 Figa Garden – Hidden brunch gem with killer sandwiches. Rovinj 🌟 Puntulina – Michelin-listed seafood with sea views (book ahead!). 🍝 Balbi – Truffle pasta + crispy fried seafood platter. 🍨 San Tommaso – Better gelato than touristy Nanni. Split 🌅 Adriatic – Sunset fine dining (reserve for views + flavor). 🐟 Paladini (Hvar Island) – Captain-recommended homestyle fish stew & 4-cheese gnocchi. 🍦 FORR – Best island gelato. Dubrovnik 🍽️ Trattoria Carmen – Famous family-style dishes (everything’s good!). 🍛 Dundo Maroje – Croatian risotto + pasticada (like stewed beef brisket). ☕ Gradska kavana Arsenal – Irish coffee with harbor views. 🥐 Gusta Me – Chill brunch by the city gates (featuring Julius Meinl coffee). #CroatianFood #DubrovnikEats #SplitFood #RovinjDining #ZagrebFoodie
