I’ve meant to write about Ficovic restaurant in Hodilje near Ston for some time, but for some reason I’ve never done it. It’s time to fix this. Located in Hodilje, a small coastal village just few kilometers north of Ston, on the Peljesac peninsula, Ficovic is a no-frills eatery by the sea, and with its own small

Konoba Batelina has been on my restaurant wishlist for quite some time. I must actually be the last foodie in Croatia to visit konoba Batelina. Dammit, how I am even supposed to write something new about it, when it seems to me that everybody has already been there.

Oh, yeah, pizza in Croatia is awesome! I am just another pizza aficionado. I am never that full not to be able to eat a slice of pizza. Pizza slice just after having a dinner? Sure, bring it on. Pizza for breakfast? I wouldn’t even need an alarm clock, if I knew that there is a

Restaurant Kornat Zadar is located at the Zadar seafront, just outside the city walls and not far from the sea organs. It is a popular fish restaurant in Zadar. This was Frank’s second time here. He enjoyed fresh fish and seafood and laid back but friendly service.

Restaurant Djudja and Mate in Vid is a lovely place. One of my favorite in Croatia. It is not a fancy place. It doesn’t offer the most extensive wine list or creative cuisine and famous, young chefs.

We both really like wines. More than wines itself, we like the story around the wines, the story of each winemaker and the wines (s)he produces. Behind each and every one there is a story of tradition, hard labor and above all the story of passion. But as we’ve experienced the other day at Korta
