Croatian Coffee Culture

Coffee drinking is one of Croatia's favorite pastimes. It's generally done with friends or family at a caf;, which is the local neighborhood meeting place for most Croatians, much like the pub in Ireland. Locals have perfected the art of "taking a coffee", as it is called, often making a single coffee last for hours.

FOOD AND BEVERAGES

Croatian cuisine

Croatians are very proud of their traditions especially when it comes to their cuisine. Most of their food and drink traditions were of foreign influences, particularly Italian, Austrian, Hungarian and Turkish food. Croatian cuisine is very diverse. Aside form the nice places we can see there, their food is also to die for.
