Two New Michelin Starred Restaurants Shine in New Croatia 2025 Edition.

It is well known that Croatia is a land where history and nature blend into landscapes of rare elegance, but it must also be said that one of its beating hearts is Istria, a region capable of merging the green of its hills with the blue of the sea.

Hills rich in castles and crossed by the Drava, Mura, and Sava rivers, plains with medieval towns, thermal springs: this is the soul of central Croatia, a land steeped in history and natural beauty.

Slavonia, a region in eastern Croatia, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, fertile plains, and warm hospitality.

With its beautiful islands and a coastline renowned for its crystal-clear water, mountains and pastures, Dalmatia is a region that appeals to all kinds of visitors, thanks to its varied attractions which include beaches, national parks, historic ancient cities and some of Croatia’s best food and wine.

Croatian cuisine boasts a strong identity that reflects both the land and the sea.

A hub of cultures that look to the sea and the land, Croatia is a place where tradition (including the culinary tradition) is still very much alive.

Mateo Meković is a talented and innovative chef at the renowned Waldinger restaurant in Osijek, Croatia. Known for his creative approach to traditional Croatian cuisine, Mateo has made a name for himself by incorporating local ingredients and modern techniques into his dishes.

Criss-crossed by the Drava, Mura, and Sava rivers, Central Croatia is a region of breathtaking natural beauty, where unspoiled landscapes blend seamlessly with thermal springs and rolling hills adorned with vineyards.

Zagreb County is a place where sustainable living and heartfelt tradition come together, weaving an experience that feels as genuine as the land itself.

Commonly known as fajferica in Croatian and recognised by the Slow Food network, the Black Slavonian pig, together with the Lasasta Mangulica breed, is the main ingredient used in kulen, the finest and most renowned cured meat delicacy in the whole of Croatia.

Blue sea, hills, food, history: Istria is a magical and lively borderland, loved by those who dream of unspoilt beaches, of course, but also by foodies who here find a rich and varied gastronomy.

Lika is one of the less populated regions of Europe.

In terms of its geographical location, Kvarner is a Croatian region bordered by Dalmatia to the south, while its northern section can be considered to be a continuation of Istria, from which it is separated by the Učka mountains.

Crystal-clear waters, unspoilt natural landscapes and fascinating historical sights are the images that come to mind when you think of the Dalmatian coast, a Croatian jewel with endless appeal for visitors.
