Dear Kvarner visitors The brochure that you are reading is the result of the 2016 selection for the Kvarner Gourmet and Kvarner Food project, which the Kvarner County Tourism Office started four years ago and has been developing ever since.
The Kvarner County Tourist Board has invited the region’s restaurants to take part in a tender with defined criteria for the promotion of excellence in various segments of the region’s culinary offer. Judging by the response and what you can see in this brochure, the intention of branding Kvarner as a destination for food and wine connoisseurs has been a great success.
Kvarner, a wine and gastro destination Year after year, the number of restaurants that take part in the project has increased. This year, the commission has evaluated 78 of them, and the results are presented in this brochure. For the ‘Kvarner Gourmet’ category, it was necessary to fulfil all the required criteria, and for the ‘Kvarner Food’ category it was necessary to obtain at least 75 points out of a possible 100. In addition, new labels have been introduced for the best of the best: to obtain the ‘Kvarner Gourmet 2 Scampi’ and ‘Kvarner Gourmet 3 Scampi’ labels, a restaurant must meet all the basic criteria plus all the additional ones, while for the ‘Kvarner Food Plus’ label a restaurant must obtain at least 90 points out of a possible 100. The 12 restaurants in the Gourmet category are marked with the corresponding number of scampi and are briefly described in an
accompanying text, while the restaurants in the Food section are ranked according to the number of points from 75 to 100 that they obtained, with a Plus label for those who scored 90 points or more, and a recommendation for the house speciality. In addition to the mentioned culinary labels, there is a new ‘Dog Friendly’ quality label for ‘Kvarner Gourmet’ and ‘Kvarner Food’ properties where your dogs are welcome too. Kvarner as a geographical, cultural, social and historical area encompasses the towns of Rijeka and Opatija and their surrounding areas, the mountainous area of Gorski Kotar, the littoral, the hinterland of the towns of Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski, and the islands of Krk, Cres, Rab and Lošinj.

Kvarner Gourmet Food
&
Ever since the end of the 19th century, when this region began to develop rapidly as a modern destination primarily for bathing and health tourism, its cuisine has always represented the best part of its overall tourist offer.
Bon appetite cheers! The variety of the region in which Mediterranean and continental prealpine climates meet is reflected in the diversity of the foods typical of the individual parts of Kvarner. Gorski Kotar is known for its berries, mushrooms, game, freshwater fish and frogs, while the littoral and islands, on the other hand, offer Mediterranean-type food: fish, shellfish (Kvarner scampi), molluscs, Mediterranean wildgrowing herbs, (sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, laurel, rock samphire, capers, dill, asparagus, etc.), vegetables (cabbage from Brgud, beans from Lopar, savoy cabbage, green garlic, tomatoes from Vrbnik, etc.), fruit (cherries from Lovran and Grižane, sweet chestnuts from the areas beneath Mount Učka, etc.), island lamb, sheep and goat cheeses, dry-cured pršut ham, and other pork and lamb cured meat products.

Kvarner gastro destination
People from Kvarner have always prepared a variety of dishes with these ingredients. Due to historical circumstances, three different cuisines have had a dominant impact on local recipes: the cuisine of neighbouring Italian provinces, especially cucina veneta (Venetian); Austro-Hungarian cuisine (Austrian, Hungarian and to a lesser extent Czech); and the everyday ‘cuisine of the poor’ (cucina dei poveri) typical of local fishermen, farmers, shepherds and their families. The scents and aromas of the first two wafted primarily from the houses of the bourgeoisie, while the common people savoured such delicacies only on special occasions, and usually prepared simple traditional dishes. Therefore, while you dine in one of the ‘Kvarner Gourmet’ or ‘Kvarner Food’ restaurants, we invite you to enjoy the various tastes of this region and to raise a toast with a glass of Žlahtina, a white wine made from a grape variety that grows on the island of Krk around the small town of Vrbnik and on the opposite coast in the field between Bribir and Novi Vinodolski. We wish you a pleasant stay in Kvarner and hope that this selection will help you choose a place for an excellent dining experience in our region.

Kvarner Subregions The Opatija Riviera he high gastronomy tradition that began during the fashionable Austro-Hungarian period attracts hedonists that truly enjoy the gourmet restaurants of Opatija’s Riviera, the Croatian synonym for top eno and gastro offers and services. The historical intertwining of various cultures has formed a special type of cuisine that is a mixture of Viennese, French and Italian cuisines but that is based on the tastes of the Kvarner climate.

The Island of Cres he Island’s treasures - lamb and olives - are preserved by the rhythm of the nearly untouched nature and grassy fields and olive groves that are surrounded by stone walls. Grazing the aromatic grass that is enriched with marine aerosols gives this mythical meat, which is prepared in various ways (in a bread oven, grilled, fried or boiled), a unique flavour. High-quality sheep cheese and curds, along with the benefits of the sea complete this rhapsody of flavours that are seasoned with the fruit of more than a century old olives from which top quality extra virgin olive oil, jams and brandies are made.

The Riviera of Crikvenica and Vinodol n this region with its famous history, the intermingling of natural and traditional values, much like a gastronomical time capsule of marine scents and Mediterranean herbs, contribute to the preparation of unique dishes from the cookbooks of our grandmothers such as the batuda - a tasty thick vegetable soup, crkveniske rupice made from fish, bribirski prisnac with eggs, bacon and cheese, the lavish Frankopan baroque cake or gastro souvenirs such as the Pavlina cake, as well as seductive jams and brandies made of figs and wines from the Vinodol Valley historically known as Vallis Vinearia.

The Rijeka Region e who drinks the water from Rijeka (“river”) once, will keep coming back, says the proverb, because cities such as Rijeka are rare in the world, since drinking water of high quality flows through its core. The vivid market with an impressive fish shop is located near the main boardwalk, which is adorned by fishing boats. There, local restaurant owners purchase fresh seasonal produce for the preparation of simple littoral dishes in authentic taverns as well as for gourmet dishes in renowned restaurants in Rijeka and the charming surrounding towns in the so-called Ring of Rijeka.

Kvarner Food wise saying goes: To experience the spirit of an area, you have to visit its monuments of culture to feel the spirit of its past, observe the architecture in which people live, visit the local markets and shops, and taste the typical dishes. The history of Croatia and the Kvarner region abounds in dishes that reflect tradition, culture, and wisdom. With the passing down of these stories from generation to generation, the dining experience becomes even more fulfilling.
A
he change of the seasons determines the food available in the local markets and thus on the region’s menus. These are dominated by sea fish (mostly oily fish) and seafood (famous Kvarner scampi), island lamb, cheese and skuta curd cheese, game, Mediterranean fruit and vegetables, and wild-growing aromatic plants and mushrooms. Food is usually prepared by frying or sautéing it. Dishes prepared under a ‘peka’ (a cast iron or clay baking lid covered with embers) are particularly delicious, and many recipes are enriched or accompanied by wine.
T
he ‘Kvarner Food’ label encompasses establishments such as konoba-style taverns, bistros, inns and restaurants with a pleasant homely atmosphere, often decorated in a traditional style, and which offer typical dishes from the littoral and mountainous areas prepared with fresh local ingredients and olive oil and served with wines from the Kvarner region.
T
estaurants with the ‘Kvarner Food’ label must obtain a minimum of 75 out of a maximum 100 points according to the set criteria regarding their offer, interior and staff. Those that obtain 90 or more points are labelled ‘Kvarner Food Plus’.

Žlahtina
The unique Kvarner wine he whole of Croatia abounds in indigenous grape varieties, and so does our Kvarner region. The wines made from these varieties are much easier to taste than to pronounce. For example: vrbnička žlahtina, trojšćina, jarbola, suščan crni. To be more precise, it is a Croatian custom to name the wine after the variety it is made from. The diversity of indigenous varieties makes our wine-growing and wine-making past a rich one. However, for the time being, the future of Kvarner wines rests almost exclusively on žlahtina, a white grape variety grown in Krk and Vinodol vineyards. The most famous type is vrbnička žlahtina (Žlahtina of Vrbnik) originating, as its name says, from the Vrbnik Field and the town of Vrbnik on the Island of Krk. The numerous Kvarner wine-producers include: Vrbnik Agricultural Cooperative with a hundred year old tradition, Frajona, Gospoja Agricultural Cooperative - Toljanić, Antun Katunar, Ivan Katunar, Dobrinčić family’s Šipun Winery, Juranić family’s Nada Winery, and Petar Čubranić. In the field between Bribir and Novi Vinodolski, in Novljansko polje, Vrbnička žlahtina is produced by the Pavlomir Winery.

combines the sea, citrus fruit, green apple, chive and wet sea rock fragrances. Its body is always mild, moderately warm, as it rarely exceeds 12% alcohol. It leaves an exceptional mineral and salty taste in the mouth with a slightly spicy white pepper finish. When served, it should never be cooled down below 10ºC, so that it wouldn’t lose its varietal characteristics, and it is best served in a classic wine tasting glass. It perfectly complements the most delicious crustaceans in the world, Kvarner scampi, and clams. Due to its pleasant freshness, it makes a good basis for the production of classic sparkling wines. here are numerous sparkling wine producers in Kvarner, including PZ Vrbnik, Antun Katunar and Frajona, but Frajona’s sparkling wine brings by far the best price and quality ratio. PZ Vrbnik nurtures one of its series of Valomet sparkling wines on yeasts at deep-sea sites (30 m). A bottle of such wine is very exquisite. The past few vintages of žlahtina have resulted in the excellent Ivan Katunar and Šipun (Ivica Dobrinčić) non-sparkling wines.
