European gastro guides, such as Gault Millau, San
Pellegrino as well as others, have regularly rated
them among the best restaurants, commending

– a quality dish can be prepared only from quality
ingredients! And if possible, fresh, seasonal and
local ingredients which have, due to the unique
combination of the sea and the highlands, kept the
original Mediterranean fragrance and taste.

ciation) which guarantees exquisite delicacies

Kvarner chefs will introduce you to all the wealth
of Kvarner cuisine that combines different sea
delicacies with the ingredients from the green
highland forests. An exquisite pleasure for your

hes that have been prepared in Kvarner for gene-
rations, the restaurants, taverns (konobas) and bi-

Scampi number 1!
The clean sea and the specific habitat give Kvarner
scampi a special flavour, unique in the world. With its
sweet and delicate taste, the Kvarner scampi is excellent
whether grilled, in buzara, with pasta or even raw. Try it
with a glass of Valomet champagne matured in the deep
Kvarner waters.
