Few will say with certainty what is in Croatian podlanica, zlatulja or štrigavica, although these are the names given to one of the noblest species of Adriatic white fish - sea bream. Close second, on the Croatian fish menus, sea bass follows, and the tasty and healthy trio makes more and more meagre. This fish is so delicious and pliable for gastronomy that the whole range of restaurant and hotel offers is based on good breeding. And that is exactly why we set off by boat fr

U antičkom središtu Zadra, među mnogobrojnim restoranima koji su prepoznatljivi jedino po turistima orijentiranoj nemaštovitosti, nalazi se maleni biser dalmatinsko-venetske gastronomije, Trattoria Mediterraneo. Gotovo se sramežljivo nudi prolaznicima, koji često zastanu i pogledaju na svega nekoliko stolova u ugodnom interijeru ispunjenom radovima zadarske slikarice Silvijane Dražović, starim uporabnim predmetima i slikama Giorgija, oca vlasnika koje pripadaju nekim minulim

The summer heat swept Northern Dalmatia well when we arrived on the wine-growing slopes above Petrčane, not far from Zadar. Here today stand the Kraljevski vinogradi - Royal Vineyards, one of the successful wine stories of the Zadar region. Historically, the vineyard existed on the same slopes as early as 1072. Namely, the Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV in 1066 donated vineyards to the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Mary in Zadar, led by his sister, Abbess Čika,

Malo tko će sa sigurnošću reći što je podlanica, zlatulja ili štrigavica, iako se radi o imenima dodijeljenima jednoj od najplemenitijih vrsta jadranske bijele ribe – oradi. U stopu je, na hrvatskim ribljim jelovnicima, slijedi brancin, a ukusni i zdravi trojac čini sve više i hama. Ova je riba toliko ukusna i podatna za gastronomiju da se cijeli niz ponuda restorana i hotela zasniva na dobrom uzgoju. I upravo stoga smo se barkom otisnuli iz uvale Mala Lamjana, na otoku Uglja

Ljetni zvizdan je dobrano zavladao Sjevernom Dalmacijom kad smo stigli na vinorodne padine iznad mjesta Petrčane, nedaleko Zadra. Ovdje danas stoje Kraljevski vinogradi, jedna od uspješnih vinarskih priča zadarskog kraja. Povijesno je na istim padinama vinograd postojao još 1072. godine. Naime, hrvatski kralj Petar Krešimir IV. darovao je 1066. godine vinograde novoutemeljenom benediktinskom samostanu sv. Marije u Zadru, koji je vodila njegova sestra, opatica Čika, praunuka k

Once it was the Zadar's port, near the monumental Porta Terraferma built by Michele Sanmicheli in the 16th century. Today, Foša is the brand name of a famous Zadar's fish restaurant which has recently gone through a modernisation of both its interior and its staff. A reason enough for us to visit one of the very few Croatian restaurants included in the prestigious Jeunes Restaurateurs. Deliberately, we came there in the beginning of November, not only to have peace from the r
