Croatia may be small in size, but it has a rich and diverse cuisine bustling with vivid colors, seductive aromas and strong flavors. The country’s cuisine has been influenced by several neighboring cultures, especially the Austrian, Hungarian and Turkish cuisines. Local food in Croatia varies per region, with each area boasting its own distinguishing recipes and delicacies.
In the main part of Croatia, breakfast usually features oats, coffee beans and corn-flat bread. Eggs are also prominent in the morning tables, prepared in all sorts of ways, from sunny side up to poached. A typical Croatian breakfast stands out for its mouth-watering dishes, rich in fat and flavor.
However, there is a specific region in Croatia, where breakfast has significant differences from the rest. Dalmatian breakfast features a Mediterranean character, with lighter, less fatty, and much stronger tastes. A typical Dalmatian breakfast includes local cheese, fresh salads, homemade pies, mini sandwiches, light chocolate cakes, sweet desserts, and dried fruits.
