Croatia 🇭🇷 | Noteworthy Eats Across Three Cities

📍 Zagreb ☕ Amélie A charming café beside Zagreb Cathedral with outdoor seating. Display cases overflow with petit cakes 🍰, while European artists sketch street scenes—peak European chill. 🍽️ Boban Stumbled upon this Michelin-guide spot at dusk. Their rare beef (mid-rare, pink-centered) stood out—tender and flavorful. Other dishes? Forgettable. Pro tip: Request a sidewalk table for that romantic lamplight glow. 📍 Split 🍤 Fife The ultimate local, no-frills, mega-portioned joint. When I tried ordering a third dish, the waiter warned: "Everything is huge here🙂". Truth: Piles of fried squid/meat with enough fries to feed a village. Croatia’s guiltiest (and yummiest) grease fest! 🌊 OLIVE TREE Dining & Clubbing Waterfront spot perfect for post-Diocletian’s Palace brunch. Solid eggs Benedict/sandwiches, but the real draw? Sipping coffee while Adriatic views seduce you into staying all afternoon. 🐟 Konoba Varos Skip the frozen shrimp; go for: Grilled fish (market-fresh, presented before cooking) Black risotto & pork chop (reliable) 📸 Ciri Biri Bela Kitchen Instagram’s dream brunch in a courtyard. The "Everything" platter delivers: artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and photogenic fruits. Style > substance, but worth it for the ‘gram. 📍 Dubrovnik 🌇 Gradska Kavana Arsenal My top pick of the trip! Mediterranean flavors paired with Old Port vistas (we dined here twice). By night, it transforms—enter via the harbor or Old Town for dual perspectives. Note: Dinner: Multi-course excellence (but mandatory 10% tip) Breakfast: Standard but scenic #CroatiaEats #FoodieFinds
