Description
It took Anthony Bourdain, the famous chef and world traveler, quite some time to discover Croatia and its bounties, he admitted. But then it blew his mind and palate!
On the rugged, mystically beautiful Dalmatian island of Pag, the gastronomic experience at Hotel Boskinac, one of Bourdain's pitstops on his travel, will provide you with a whirlwind introduction to the finest food and drink of Croatia. From the pine-topped mountains down to the Adriatic sea, the Island is home to some of the world’s best cheeses and seafood. Regarded as the best restaurant on the Island, there is nowhere better to sample the fare than at Hotel Boskinac.
Each day starts with a traditional Dalmatian breakfast of locally cured meats and cheeses. These are complimented with fresh fruits, yoghurt and vegetables from the Island, as well as continental pastries. You’ll then have time to explore the serene surroundings of the hotel, make your way down to Pag town or simply relax in and around the Adriatic Sea. You’ll certainly want to build an appetite for what follows.
Each evening, you will be treated to a different tasting menu; three two-course dinners, as well as an eight-course extravaganza. Expect delicacies such as carpaccio od brancin (wafer-thin raw sea bass), Jakovska kapica (scallops and prawns gratinéed with local ewes’ milk cheese) fritaje od hobotnice (octopus frittata) during your stay.
You will have ample opportunity to delight in Boskinac’s award-winning wines throughout your stay. Not only will the eight-course dinner include a wine pairing, but you can also explore the rustic konoba (wine cellar) for a guided wine tasting. We heavily recommend sampling the indigenous Gegic grape variety and the prize-winning Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.
We also recommend
- Visit Pag town to marvel in its renaissance architecture
- Cycle down to the coastal town of Novalja
- Hire a boat and escape to a secluded Kornati island for the day
