Croatian cuisine is rather not among the most famous in the world. Still, you can find several tasty dishes that are definitely worth trying during your holiday vacation. Restaurant prices in Croatia are certainly not among the lowest. However, even for relatively small money you can eat to your heart’s content even by street fast food. It will not be the healthiest for our body, but no one should go hungry.
As with groceries in stores, the location of the diner is important in Croatia. The rule is that the closer it is to the beach, the more expensive it is. A separate aspect are typical tourist cities such as Split, Dubrovnik or even Trogir, where in the vicinity of the biggest attractions prices for restaurant dishes can be truly fabulous. Supply creates demand – that’s why huge amounts of tourists are pushing up prices in local pubs. However, it is enough to move away from the center and prices become more bearable.
Interestingly, the prices of native dishes in Croatia are not excessively high. In contrast, fish and seafood in some Croatian resorts are sold for the price of gold. Pasta is the most popular dish among foreign visitors – its price is not particularly excessive, so more people can afford such a visit to the restaurant.
