CUISINE
Many a tourist town or destination would count itself lucky to enjoy such abundance as Rab.
The fertile land of Rab and the fruit it bears, and the surrounding sea, rich in excellent fish
and first-class shrimps, form the basis of Rab’s gastronomic offering, which is characterised
by healthy Mediterranean cooking. In Rab’s numerous, top-class restaurants, the freshest
fish and seafood are served, together with freshly-picked fruits of the earth, all of which are
accompanied by the experience and tradition of top chefs.
The cuisine here is so rich and so much a product of its environment that it has even
become one of the island’s souvenirs. The rapska torta, the unique-tasting cake that has
been produced on the island for 800 years, is one of the most prized souvenirs of Rab and of
Croatia. Organically-grown olives, figs, grapes and especially organic honey, are characteristic
Rab delicacies, whose tastes tempt and intoxicate.
Discovering the cuisine of Rab and learning its subtleties is a worthwhile undertaking, with
total enjoyment as its reward.
