Gastronomy

Of the 1,185 islands in Croatia, only one has been nicknamed Insula Aurea since time immemorial. The Golden Island earned its name thanks to its wealth and diversity, and that's exactly what the island's gastronomy looks like. Woven from simple, autochthonous ingredients available to the ancient Krk fisherman, cattle breeder and farmer, it is today the crown of the offer of the island of Krk and an experience that you must treat all your senses.

What to look for on the menus of Omišalj and Njivica? Reach deep into the ancient nets of these fishing villages and choose fresh fish, feel the spirit of old towns and taste local olive oil, combine it with Krk sheep's cheese, lamb, šurlica... and spice up the experience with aromatic smells and tastes of wild island herbs. Round off the meal with autochthonous Krk zlahtina and sweeten the experience with the unique presna, a dessert made from young sheep's cheese. The island will not let you out of its embrace before you taste the original, award-winning Krč prosciutto, which holds the title of the best Croatian prosciutto in general.

Omišalj and Njivice offer a top gastronomic offer that sometimes goes back almost a century. The best example of continuous quality that is passed down from generation to generation is certainly the restaurant Rivica from Njivic, whose history goes back to 1934. Today, Rivica is more than a restaurant - it is a living monument of a small fishing village, the hardworking hands of local people, a deep bow to the fishing heritage and traditional values ​​of this region.

Once you set out on an adventure to discover the flavors and aromas of the island of Krk, be sure that you will always be looking for "more" of the aromatic experience of the Golden Island - and will always return to it again and again.
