Tastes of Southern Istria
In Medulin, cooking is simple, using ingredients from the sea and the Istrian soil. The table features grilled sardines, black risotto, a traditional fish stew known as brodet, spider crab and homemade pasta, paired with local olive oil and regional wines.
What makes this cuisine so appealing isn't complexity, but freshness and clean, vivid flavours. It is best enjoyed in traditional taverns, on seaside terraces and with a laid-back lifestyle where nobody rushes.

TOP 5 FLAVOURS OF MEDULIN
Grilled sardines
Proof that the tastiest fish needs very little: a fresh catch, open fire, and a few drops of olive oil.
Homemade pasta with a seafood sauce
Fuži, tagliatelle and other fresh pasta serve as the ideal canvas for the day’s fresh catch.
Crab Salad
The delicate, sweet meat from the Medulin's waters is at its best when kept simple.
Olive oil
Oils from Southern Istria are often intense and peppery, especially those from indigenous varieties such as karbonaca and rošinjola.
Malvazija Istarska
Fresh, aromatic, and smooth, it pairs naturally with fish, shellfish, and long lunches by the sea.
