Croatian soulfood

Croatian food is partly Mediterranean, partly continental so you won’t be eating the same food in southern Dalmatian cities like Dubrovnik and Split as you will in Zagreb or Osijek in the East.

Croatian cuisine has been heavily influences by many nations who used to rule or live here, or at least by those who we had contact with. Southern and seaside parts of Croatia have been influenced mostly by Italy, while central and northern parts have had more to do with Austria, Germany or Hungary. We have also adopted many excellent Turkish dishes, primarily due to several decades of living in Yugoslavia where we came into contact with dishes from other nations  who were on their part influenced by Turkey.
