Croatia is an exciting place for gourmets and food connoisseurs. Every region in the country has its own distinct culinary identity. Its mainland cuisine is shaped by Hungarian, Viennese and Turkish influences, whereas the coastal region’s cuisine draws inspiration from Mediterranean kitchens – including Italian and French cooking. What specialties to expect? Tasty seafood and Istrian truffle-based dishes that’ll make your mouth water.

Talent & Passion Event
Talent & Passion is one of the key projects of JRE-Croatia, clearly expressing the association’s mission to connect chefs, promote authenticity, and encourage creativity that increasingly positions Croatia on the European gastronomic map.
The 2025 edition took place in Zagreb, a city that proudly embraces its culinary heritage while confidently translating it into a contemporary expression. Under the theme “New Tendencies of Traditional Zagreb Cuisine,” JRE-Croatia chefs reinterpreted classic Zagreb dishes through a modern, author-driven and avant-garde approach.
The JRE Guide 2026 is here!
It is our pleasure to present the new edition of the JRE-Croatia guide.
The Croatian JRE family consists of 17 restaurants. Never-ending passion is not merely a motto, but a way of thinking that shapes the work of our members. JRE is a community where knowledge is shared, creativity nurtured and gastronomy embraced as a cultural value.
We invite you to discover the personal interpretations of our chefs and enjoy one of a kind experiences.
