Must-Try Dishes

Peka:

Description: A traditional Croatian dish where meat (often lamb, pork, or veal) and vegetables are cooked under a bell-like metal lid (peka) over an open fire or in an oven. The slow-cooking process makes the meat tender and flavorful.

Grilled Fish:

Description: Fresh seafood is a staple in Tisno. Try grilled fish like sea bass (brancin) or bream (orada), often seasoned simply with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.

Black Risotto (Crni Rižot):

Description: Black risotto, known locally as crni rižot, is a distinctive Croatian dish made with cuttlefish and their ink, which gives the risotto its characteristic deep black color. The ink imparts a rich, briny flavor that pairs wonderfully with the tender cuttlefish and creamy risotto.
