Black risotto and Dalmatian pasticada with gnocchi. That's traditional on Croatian coast. Also, the Croatian fish like John Dory, Red scorpion fish or Amber Jack is something you must try. The tastiest fish in the World.
Hey guys, my wife and I really enjoyed your food tour .Going back to dubrovnik in July we can't wait to try the places you recommend. All the best. Darren and lou,lou xxxxx
LOL the Shlivovits "Oh Holy Hell" heheh. I was on a train in Croatia where there was a wedding party ON the train. The bottles of Shlivovits were being passed around to the extent that it was almost an insult to the new couple to NOT take a sip....or two. That stuff will knock your socks off.
Who drinks Sluvovitz in DU? You got it mixed up with other types of rakija, like loza, travaricu (herbs flavoured loza) and, to a lesser degree, anisette, my favourite. And that goes for the entire Adriatic coast. Slivovitza is popular in non-mediteranian areas.
Hope you have an amazing time. Be warned, Dubrovnik gets super crowded from Jun to the end of August. Hopefully you are there in the early part of the month
Such a beautiful laneway at the top of your video! I was hoping you would have a Palacinke! Reminds me of Baka ♥️ Are you planning on doing an accommodation video in Dubrovnik? Always like to see where you're staying!
Hi Sue! The whole town is full of gorgeous little alleys and streets. Next video is a tour of the town, but I'm afraid we didn't film the little apartment that we stayed in for a few days. It's a shame too, had such a cute little terrace. 😍
If you are going in summer you will need a reservation for all of them. Dubrovnik is extremely crowded and busy in the summer months. Unfortunately, my understanding is that Cezars street burgers has permanently closed since I filmed there
Great recommendations! We did eat many of these dishes because we were lucky enough to have spent almost 3 months there this year. The food in Croatia is insanely underrated internationally, don't you think?
Lunch will be easier to get in without a reservation, but at the same time the night time setting in front of the church is spectacular. Food is wise you won't go wrong either way. If you happen to meet Ana, tell her Geoff said hello.
On our older videos we never put prices on the items when we did food tours. We did do monthly cost of living videos but in Croatia we stayed in Angela's family home so we didn't do them there. However, just know that it is Croatia and Croatia is a not a super cheap travel destination anymore. Prices I would say are very comparable for dining at any major city in North America or popular European destination.
Sausages are from SLAVONIJA ( part of continental Croatia) not Slovenia with is neighboring country. Just a friendly correction. Great video, I am glad you enjoyed our delicious food.
Really like your video, especially Croatia food tour. I heard you mentioned you like Croatia salty food a couple of times. I wonder whether in general Croatia food is salty or not. I prefer less salty. Should I tell the restaurant? I will go to Croatia next month. Thanks.
Literally anyplace or dish in the video. Especially Kopun. What Ana is doing there is truly special and she had a wine bar in the works when I was last there. They may be open now. Of course what I ate in the video may not be your cup of tea, but anything off of any of their menus will be worth it
@@PureDetour excellent thank you, I can not wait to try the sea food as I find often the seafood here in UK can be hit or miss at times. I will certainly check out Kopun, would I need to book in advance?
2:33 Slovenian sausages are also great, but this one was Slavonian. :) Yeah, it's confusing and all the foreigners are mixing it up all the time: Slavonia, Slovenia, Slovakia... The word "Slav" in Slavic languages is both Slaven and Sloven.
don't forget that Istria and Dalmatia have been Italian or Venetian for centuries, so a lot of croatian food is strictly related to italian tradition, from prsut and pasta in Istria, to pastichada in Dalmatia. Anywaty, even the food from inland is really good
We loved the food there so much. Also, the local wine is getting better every year, so impressed. So many people come for the beautiful towns and sea, but I don't think enough people talk about how amazing the food is!
@@PureDetour totally agree 😊. Ever tried ‘peka’, in Dalmatia? Pure poetry, as the ‘kulen’, a kind of salami. I even love Jana water! Have a wonderful year!
Hi Geof …. hi angela wherever you are now… I have started to watch your other vlogs Geoff. You should also incorporate Ems in your new videos sometimes 😅 That looks good my friend!
hahaha, Angela is back in Canada these days. Em does not want to appear on camera, but every once in awhile she lets me put a shot of here in the videos
Besides good food in Dubrovnik are you gonna have a video showing things to do and places to see And take it easy on the hot sauce Geff i’d hate for you to be out of action for the next couple of days
That's interesting & good to know Danijel. Please share what some of the more spicy dishes would be so we can give them a try when we come back next time! After loving Dalmatia so much we're eager to see more of the country!
@@PureDetour I can completely understand that. Though I think squid, octopus and cuddle fish is something the Asians very obviously have no clue about how to prepare it right. Talking about it being hard, stringy and not good in general...was my experience there. Fish is also not prepared well iyam. The rest is delicious though. Depends on where you are. Thailand...yep, delicious. Bali, nah, all sucks, when you are not a millionaire. Chicken with rice or rice with chicken is all they can do somewhat good...sometimes.
Going to have to disagree with this. I love cuttelfish and I don't think I have had a really good version in all of my travels throughout Europe. I have had countless delicious versions in SE Asia. I recently ate the most tender squid ink pasta with squid chunks I have ever had in my life in the Philippines although I would agree with your general squid and octopus sentiment. I would also disagree with your Bali/Indonesia thoughts. If you know where to find good Babi Guling then only the Philippines lechon will rival it. Great food can be found there if you know where to look. Malaysia is also a very underrated foodie destination and I would put them along with Thailand in my top 5 for my favourite cuisines in the world.
@@PureDetour See, that's where we apparently differ vastly in taste buds. Babi Guling? I was at one of the best, always full with locals, restaurant on Bali and it was bad. I was told it was the best, but if their best is still bad, how bad must their not so good Babi Guling be? It was dry af and cold. In Germany we have a saying for how they prepared it. They killed it twice...and in this case three times. Once in the slaughterhouse and once with cooking and a third time by serving cold "BBQ". I was told it is always served cold. Now you tell me a cold, dry, well overcooked and stringy BBQ pork is good? I can't see how?
@@Kivas_Fajo, to be fair, you could have just been there on a bad day or maybe the place wasn't as popular as you might think. I can take you to a place in Ubud that will make your jaw drop. As to it being cold, that is common even here in the Philippines. Once the pig is cooked it is sold until it is gone. Now here, there are places where an entire 45-50kg pig will be gone in 20 minutes and they sell 4-5 entire pigs and are done for the day. Most of the mall type places/ big chains etc. Pigs could be a few hours old so it is room temp at best.
Yes, you can find vegan food in the country. Foreign tree eaters are popular in the country these days. 99% of Croatians, absolutely not tree exclusive
@PureDetour yes, she's adapting to you and saying it in the way it'd be easier for you to pronounce it...I'm trying to find the sounds that match sounds in English so it's more familiar to English speaking ears...I hope that makes sense 😀
No, we meant Slavonia. Slovenia is a central European Country. While Slavonia is a region in Northeastern Croatia - Here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavonia
I respectfully disagree, this food was amazing! And we pay for our meals 😂. If you know where to get free food (especially in expensive tourist cities) please let us know.
Found this very helpful as going to Croatia next month, thank you for sharing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Fair warning, Cezar street food is permanently closed.
Black risotto and Dalmatian pasticada with gnocchi. That's traditional on Croatian coast. Also, the Croatian fish like John Dory, Red scorpion fish or Amber Jack is something you must try. The tastiest fish in the World.
Just want to say thank you for this video, we are staying in Dubrovnik this week and today we had the meat tapas at Alamaka.
That is awesome. The family there is so kind and their food is top notch. Hope you enjoyed it and a nice glass of Croatian Red wine with it
Hey guys, my wife and I really enjoyed your food tour .Going back to dubrovnik in July we can't wait to try the places you recommend.
All the best.
Darren and lou,lou xxxxx
Hope you enjoy my friend. Just a heads up, Csezar Street Food has permanently closed since filming this.
Thank you for making this video. We just finished our meal at Kopun and it was incredible!
That is amazing. Kopun is one of my favourite restaurants in the entire world. So happy you enjoyed your experience there.
I really enjoy watching your video.
Thanks so much Suay! We enjoy your sweet comments ❤️

You get used to it after being there for awhile but that first taste. Oh boy
Who drinks Sluvovitz in DU?
You got it mixed up with other types of rakija, like loza, travaricu (herbs flavoured loza) and, to a lesser degree, anisette, my favourite.

Hope you have an amazing time. Be warned, Dubrovnik gets super crowded from Jun to the end of August. Hopefully you are there in the early part of the month
@@PureDetour June 1 to 5th, hopefully we are just before the crowds and ideal weather.
You should be good at that point. Mid June is usually when it starts
Heading to Dubrovnik in a couple of months. Looking forward to trying some of your recommendations. Great video!
Oh nice. I do hope you enjoy. Whatever you do, do not miss out on Kopun! And if you happen to run into Ana, tell her Geoff says hello
Heading there in Jan 25. do u know if kopun is open in winter? loved the vid. As a chef, I enjoyed your knowledge of food.
January could be hit or miss. I would reach out before your trip to verify. A lot of things shut down in the old town over the winter
Looking great 😊 both you and the food 🇭🇷❤️🇭🇷❤️
HI! Hahaha, the food is most definitely the best looking of the bunch 😁
Really delisius
Your Croatian snack video is GREAT 😂. I do the same everyone I travel. 9am snack feast ❤! LOVE IT
Yay! Thank you!.
Love you guys ❤️
Ana! We love you too ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks so much for hanging out and helping us eat our way around your amazing city!
at that both are realy good!!!!!!
The ones we tried were delicious!

@@PureDetour my niece from Cali is on Korcula right now visiting her husband's family. She's posting beautiful pics on Insta. ♥️
Going this summer and can’t wait to try these places. Did you need a reservation for any of them?
If you are going in summer you will need a reservation for all of them. Dubrovnik is extremely crowded and busy in the summer months.
Unfortunately, my understanding is that Cezars street burgers has permanently closed since I filmed there
Woh I’m hungry and guidance woman looks like familiar like… family. Anyway beautiful place and I want to back there.
You should!
Next time i recomend you to eat Peka, Soparnik, pasta with plum, Pečenica, Kaštradina, hrstule, pršurate, etc.
Great recommendations! We did eat many of these dishes because we were lucky enough to have spent almost 3 months there this year. The food in Croatia is insanely underrated internationally, don't you think?
2:26 Slavonian Kulen rather than Slovenian :D. I'm glad you tried it, did you like it?
Thanks for the correction! And yes it was amazing!
For Kopun, would you recommend we go for lunch or dinner?
Lunch will be easier to get in without a reservation, but at the same time the night time setting in front of the church is spectacular. Food is wise you won't go wrong either way. If you happen to meet Ana, tell her Geoff said hello.
Just found you guys, really enjoyed your videos. Just one question is there a reason you don't add the prices?
On our older videos we never put prices on the items when we did food tours. We did do monthly cost of living videos but in Croatia we stayed in Angela's family home so we didn't do them there.
However, just know that it is Croatia and Croatia is a not a super cheap travel destination anymore. Prices I would say are very comparable for dining at any major city in North America or popular European destination.
@@PureDetour Thanks guys, appreciate the the reply! Are you guys on Instagram?
@@antonyvaughan7808, Of course as well as Facebook and our website
Sausages are from SLAVONIJA ( part of continental Croatia) not Slovenia with is neighboring country. Just a friendly correction. Great video, I am glad you enjoyed our delicious food.
You are absolutely correct. I mis-spoke in the video. Thank you for being so kind in correcting me

I wouldn't say Croatian food is overly salty. Cured meats will always be a bit salty but your everyday dishes not so much
Next time try Prstavce na buzaru.
Illegal, remember?
Going to Dubrovnik Monday, if u have any recommendations on places to eat and dishes to try would be appreciated.
Literally anyplace or dish in the video. Especially Kopun. What Ana is doing there is truly special and she had a wine bar in the works when I was last there. They may be open now.

GOOD GOING KEEP IT UP. 👌 ❤️ FROM INDIA....MUMBAI. NICE 💑 COUPLE...
Thank you so much!
Soo nice 👍👍
Thank you so much!
Yes we are very serious about alcohols! Glad you guys liked it :D
Very very serious, lol. We love the Croatian food and drink and people so much, we'll certainly be back one day!
It would be helpful if you mention the prices range for those places, thanks
Great tip, will remember it for future videos.
PURE food.. NO chemicals, Fillers. What the U.S. used to offer…
Hi Geof …. hi angela wherever you are now…
I have started to watch your other vlogs Geoff. You should also incorporate Ems in your new videos sometimes 😅
That looks good my friend!
hahaha, Angela is back in Canada these days. Em does not want to appear on camera, but every once in awhile she lets me put a shot of here in the videos
@@PureDetour yeah i got to see ems in one of your Thai trip Geof! In all fairness she is pretty. You deserve and you compliment each other.. ❤️
اهلا بكما انا في جولة معكم بالمجان شكرا لكما. دمتم بخير
مرحبًا محمد ، لا يمكنني الانتظار لمعرفة ما سيحدث قريبًا! إنه متحمس للغاية ولا أطيق الانتظار لسماع رأيك
@@PureDetour رأي فماذا سيدي ؟
Was there a big language barrier in Dubrovnik?
Not at all. the vast majority of people speak English. Especially within the old town
@@PureDetour that was great to know I was worried about a potential language barrier so I’ve learnt some basic phrases in Croatian to try help 😂
It’s alway a nice gesture to show you are at least trying
@@PureDetour would be worried if I had horrible pronunciation 😂
Besides good food in Dubrovnik are you gonna have a video showing things to do and places to see
And take it easy on the hot sauce Geff i’d hate for you to be out of action for the next couple of days
Stay tuned for more Dubrovnik coming up later this week. No food involved in that one as we need some time to digest, hot sauce included
sausauges....Slovenia is up north Slavonija is east...different meats and different people...
I think we mis-spoke. The wine probably didn't help. I'm pretty sure it was Slavonijan. I hope I didn't offend the Slavonijans or the Slovenians 😊
@@PureDetour dont know if you offended anyone...I am from the middle,from Zagreb to me it was just funny.LOL
Do you mean chicken pâté? parfait is usually a dessert in a real glass layered.
if you like hot and spicy food, look for it in continental Croatia
That's interesting & good to know Danijel. Please share what some of the more spicy dishes would be so we can give them a try when we come back next time! After loving Dalmatia so much we're eager to see more of the country!
tbh dubrovnik is a concentrated tourist trap with over inflated food prices...
split is the way to go.
Split is also an over concentrated tourist trap with over inflated food prices. Pick your poison.
Split is becoming worse than Dubrovnik
So, when will you eat again at your favourite restaurant?
Kopun? I would love to eat there right now! However I have been in SE Asia for a year with no plans to leave anytime soon.
@@PureDetour I can completely understand that. Though I think squid, octopus and cuddle fish is something the Asians very obviously have no clue about how to prepare it right.

Good vid! Not really authentic Croat food, more like Italian rip-offs and/or fusions but still looks yummy :)
"Jalapeeeeeeños"
Are you making fun of the way we pronounce Jalapeeeeenos? 😂

Slavonian Kulen, not Slovenian.
It’s been pointed out to me that I misspoke here. My apologies and hope I get it right going forward 😳
cezar street food in dubrovnik is permanentmy closed
I learned that about a month ago when someone said they wanted to visit and asked for an address
Slavonija not Slovenia sausage
everyone should boycott all the advertisers on RUclips who take more than 3 seconds to advertise their stuff
Ko ( co ) pun ( poon)
Right, are you trying to help us with pronunciation? The owner of the restaurant is in the video saying it. She is wonderful
@PureDetour yes, she's adapting to you and saying it in the way it'd be easier for you to pronounce it...I'm trying to find the sounds that match sounds in English so it's more familiar to English speaking ears...I hope that makes sense 😀
Sorry not my cup of tea. Ultra processed meat is a killer. If the food is not fresh and cooked (hot), then no thanks...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SlovEnia NOT SlovOnia
No, we meant Slavonia. Slovenia is a central European Country. While Slavonia is a region in Northeastern Croatia - Here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavonia
