Krk Gastronomy: No Nonsense

Krk is about tradition. Simple, quality ingredients dominate.

Island Lamb (Janjetina)
Roasted, under a 'peka' bell, or grilled. This is non-negotiable. Its unique taste comes from island herbs.
Fresh Seafood
Squids, fish, prawns. From the Adriatic, directly to your plate. Look for 'catch of the day.'
Šurlice
Hand-rolled pasta, typically served with goulash (lamb or beef) or seafood sauces. A Krk staple.
Krk Olive Oil
Often extra virgin, intensely aromatic. Use it liberally.
Žlahtina Wine
The island's signature white. Dry, refreshing. Don't believe the hype about 'fusion' Krk cuisine; stick to the traditional konobas for genuine flavors. Anything else is usually a watered-down experience.
