CROATIAN FOOD TOUR 🇭🇷(Top traditional foods in Zagreb)

This country may have some of the top traditional comfort food in the world. In this Croatian Food Tour video around Zagreb, Croatia, we will be eating a variety of traditional Croatian food. Croatian cuisine really ranges across the country, with heavy duty flavors to light seafood tastes along the coast. Because we are in Zagreb, the Croatian food is a little bit heavier, lots of delicious meats and breads.

We didn’t know this, but traditional food from Croatia is heavily into Turkey and Pork! So of course, we had to try the zagrebački odrezak, which is like a cordon blue, Croatian cuisine style.

We also tried a variety of Strukli, which was very interesting and unique, but Sam was totally loving the one she got. We will show you what to eat in Zagreb and some of the best food in Zagreb!

We know we missed a lot, so let us know some of your favorite Croatian food in the comments below!

I hope you also were able to see Zagreb's upper town with the Strossmayer Promenade, St. Mark's church and it's colorful tiled roof, the Croatian governmental palace on St. Mark's square, the beautiful overlook towards the cathedral, as well as the outdoor market and series of parks that run south from the Ban Jelačić (main) square towards the train station, including museums and the opera house, etc.. There is so much more to Zagreb than shown, but I know your visit was very brief. On your next visit to Croatia, come visit the region of Istria! We are on the northwestern part of the coast, near Italy, known as Croatia's Tuscany. Amazing beauty, history, food, culture, seashore, and very different from Dalmatia and central Croatia. Full of wonderful pasta, truffles, seafood, excellent wineries, the world's #1 rated olive oil region, green hills, architecture, medieval hilltop villages, and surrounded on 3 sides by the Adriatic Sea...gorgeous.

Štrukli are not puff pastry, it's more like dumpling consistency dough. Also it's not so popular among locals anymore, but it's one of only few authentic Croatian dishes, that's why we promote it. More as our tradition and culture and something our grandmas used to make, than a meal that local people enjoy in their every-day lives.

I always find it weird when people are surprised that Croatia has great pizza and see food, I mean we literally border Italy... (Maritime/ Sea border) we've been next to them our entire history since the 7th century, Italy heavily influenced the Croatian coast and vice versa.

If you visit anywhere on the Croatian coast from Novigrad in the region of Istria down to Dubrovnik in Dalmatia it feels like you're walking through streets in Italy... Venice for example has very similar architecture to Dubrovnik, not to mention that Croats in the region of Dalmatia speak in a different dialect to other Croats. And to foreigners it does sound like an Italian accent.

Croatia varies drastically form region to region, from dialects and accents to the music and cuisine. You'll find a lot more see food on the coast than lets say the regions of Podravina or Zagorje or Slavonija where most food is meat based, a lot of pork, chicken, duck, beef, viel, potatoes, pasta... ect. And deserts like Mađarica, Čupavci, Štruklji sa sirom ili jabukama (Štruklji with apples or cheese), Krem šnite, Makovnjača (poppy seed risen dough thing) and stuff like that.

bro says 'zgreb'. its 'z-ah-gr-e-b'.

[LionelLando]

Croatian food is a bizarre bastardization of Balkan cuisines like Serbian, Romanian and Bulgarian, mixed with bastardized Italian and Hungarian cuisines. Example, sour pickled cabbage with pasta. Croatia always was controlled and ruled over by the Astro-Hungarian Empire and then Italy.
