Food and Restaurants in Crikvenica
A culinary journey through the Adriatic
Crikvenica is a fishermen's town, so its cuisine tastes of the sea. Kvarner scampi come first, followed closely by grilled fish and a glass of Žlahtina from nearby Krk. Because the sea and the mountains meet in Kvarner, you will also find local prosciutto, sheep's cheese and fuži pasta with game on the table. For a true Kvarner konoba, head to the old town and the fishing harbour, and for dinner with a view, choose one of the restaurants along the promenade. The restaurants of Aminess Younique Narrivi Hotel and Mediteran Maradiso Hotel by Aminess serve Kvarner specialities with a view of the Kvarner bay.
