Light and delicious Mediterranean cuisine
The culinary delights of Orebić come fresh from the sea and the garden. During your stay in a private holiday apartment or a holiday home on the coast, you should definitely try the delicious black olives, salted anchovies, yellow sheep cheese, Dalmatian raw ham, and salad made from sun-ripened tomatoes. In the local restaurants, you can also enjoy homemade wine, which is diluted with water. These tasty, simple dishes are very suitable as healthy and digestible food in the hot summer months due to their low fat content. Like most southern Europeans, the Dalmatians are not big on breakfast. A cup of coffee is enough in the morning. For the second breakfast (marenda), there is usually a hearty snack: small, warm snacks, marinated anchovies, cheese, olives, and wine diluted with water. The main meal is taken in the evening. Seafood and fish are a specialty of the region, thanks to its location. They are offered, for example, on spaghetti, in squid risotto, as a salad, or with green ribbon noodles. Scampi are often served with shells, so keep that in mind when ordering. Often, kilo prices are offered on the menus. Of course, this does not mean that you have to order a kilo of fish. Steaks from lamb, pork, or beef are usually cooked over an open charcoal fire. The side dishes are usually garlic-flavored chard, boiled potatoes, or Djuveč rice. Locals like to eat white bread with meat and fish. All holiday apartments have a well-equipped kitchen and invite you to cook.
