Krk’s culinary scene is where tradition meets innovation. Centuries-old recipes passed down through generations are being reimagined with modern techniques, creating a unique fusion of old and new. This harmony between the past and present defines Krk’s evolving identity and ensures that its rich food culture remains alive and vibrant.
Traditional Krk cuisine focuses on simplicity, seasonal ingredients, and bold, natural flavors. Many recipes have their roots in peasant cooking—hearty meals designed to nourish and satisfy. However, today’s chefs, including our team at Neptun, are reinterpreting these classics with creative flair.
Traditional Dishes:
- Šurlice with Lamb Sauce – A rustic pasta dish made with hand-rolled noodles and slow-cooked lamb in a savory sauce. Comforting, rich, and deeply flavorful.
- Grilled Sardines – A coastal staple that celebrates simplicity. These small fish are marinated in olive oil and garlic, then grilled to a crisp.
Modern Twists:
- Šurlice with Truffle Cream Sauce – A luxurious reinterpretation of the traditional pasta, combining the earthy aroma of truffles with a silky cream sauce.
- Sea Bass Carpaccio – A contemporary starter made with ultra-fresh fish, thinly sliced and dressed in citrus juice, olive oil, and sea salt. Light and elegant.
At Restaurant Neptun, we honor our culinary heritage while embracing innovation. Our menu is a testament to how tradition and creativity can coexist beautifully. Whether you’re in the mood for an old favorite or a surprising new flavor, we offer something to excite every palate.
