Main courses
Buffet Smokvica’s mains are a tribute to Croatian flavors, offering something for every palate. Meat lovers can relish the hearty pljeskavica, a juicy beef patty mixed with onions, cheese, and aromatic spices, or savor ćevapi — perfectly grilled minced meat served alongside fresh onions and warm bread.
Seafood aficionados will appreciate specialties like the perfectly grilled sea bass and tender octopus, both seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and lemon or parsley to enhance their natural flavors. The seafood risotto, rich with a mix of fresh seafood, tomato, onion, and a splash of white wine, offers a creamy, flavorful experience.
For a rustic treat, the peka—slow-cooked beef with vegetables infused with olive oil and spices—showcases traditional Croatian cooking at its finest. Vegetarians will enjoy the grilled vegetable platter, featuring zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant kissed by olive oil and garlic.
Desserts and beverages
After indulging in the savory delights, round off your meal with a selection of desserts that complement the rich flavors perfectly.
