Mate Nižić

For Mate Nižić, Foša is about preserving the soul of Dalmatian hospitality while allowing it to evolve with a new generation. Set in the historic harbour of Zadar, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, the restaurant draws its identity from a strong connection to its surroundings, local traditions and Mediterranean way of life.

Mate’s vision for Foša brings together heritage and contemporary hospitality. Dalmatian flavours and traditional Croatian gastronomy form the foundation, while fresh ideas, modern presentation and influences from across the Mediterranean give the experience a distinctly current character.

At the heart of Foša is a respect for authenticity – from the ingredients and flavours of the Adriatic to the relaxed atmosphere of dining by the sea. By building on tradition rather than simply reproducing it, Mate and his team give guests a taste of Dalmatia that feels both familiar and new.

 

“Tradition gives us our identity, but it should never stand still. At Foša, we want guests to experience the true flavours and spirit of Dalmat in a way that feels fresh, personal and relevant today.”
