Croatia eats three regions on one map. The Dalmatian coast cooks the Adriatic with olive oil, salt and a stone hearth: pasticada, brudet, soparnik, crni rizot, peka under the bell, Plavac mali poured from a konoba carafe. Istria turns Italian: white truffles from Motovun, fuzi pasta, Malvazija Istarska. Slavonia in the east is paprika and pork country: kulen, fis paprikas, cobanac. The konoba is the through-line: a small family-run stone taverna where the menu depends on what was caught, picked or pressed that day. Pick a city to begin.
