Local Croatian cuisine is simple, hearty and flavorful, often consisting of grilled meats, stews and pies. It’s customary to start and end the meal with a rakija. Other local specialties include burek— a pastry stuffed with cheese, meat or apple that can be found all over town. Fast-food options includecevapcici, which is a Croatian hamburger made from spicy beef or pork or raznjici – similar to a shish kebab. Blitva is a side dish of boiled swiss chard, served with olive oil, potatoes and garlic; it is served throughout Croatia. An important planning note: Many restaurants are closed on Sundays.

For a sampling of local cuisine, try Baltazar. This rustic spot focuses on cooking with fresh, seasonal produce. The restaurant offers a wide selection of grilled meats, fish and wines. It’s at Nova ves 4, Ph:+385 1 46 66 999, http://www.restoran-baltazar.hr/EN/about.php.
