Food and restaurants in Novi Vinodolski
Sea and hills on the same plate
In Novi Vinodolski, the sea and the hills meet on the plate too. Fish and Kvarner scampi come from the harbor, wine, prosciutto and cheese from Vinodol, and fuži pasta and fig cakes from old coastal kitchens. They are best enjoyed slowly, with a view of Krk and a glass of local wine. For dinner by the sea, choose the restaurants and konobas along the promenade and the harbor, and for a local atmosphere, head into the old town. In mid-September, the Novljanski gušti food festival on Ivan Mažuranić Square serves homemade dishes and wines at symbolic prices. For guests of Aminess Vival Lišanj Family Hotel, Oliveto restaurant offers a spacious terrace and a small playground for children, and AMI Loyalty members get up to 10% off in Aminess restaurants and bars.
Seven flavors of Novi and Vinodol
Freshly grilled Adriatic fish
Freshly caught and grilled, with a little olive oil and herbs. Simple, the way fish has always been eaten here.
Kvarner scampi
Tender and slightly sweet, they are best buzara-style or grilled. Try them in a risotto too, with a glass of white wine.
Homemade fuži
Hand-rolled pasta, served in Kvarner with game goulash or truffles.
Octopus salad
A refreshing coastal classic for warm summer evenings.
Prosciutto and cheese
A platter of local prosciutto and cheese is the best start to dinner and an ideal companion to wine.
Vinodol wines and Žlahtina
The Vinodol Valley has been wine country for centuries. Pavlomir Winery, whose vineyard hosts the Ružica Vinodola games, opens its doors for tastings, while Žlahtina, a variety from nearby Krk that is also grown here, pairs beautifully with fish and scampi.
Homemade desserts
Fig and almond cakes made to recipes from old coastal kitchens.
