March 24, 2022 - The 24th Restaurant Week in Croatia returns on Friday, March 25, where participating restaurants around the country offer 3-course menus for promotional prices!
Restaurant Week returns to Croatia for its 24th edition on March 25. The special event is a chance for foodies around the country to enjoy three-course menus at various participating restaurants for 100/125 kuna, during both lunch and dinner. The 24th edition of this event will be held from March 25 to April 3, 2022.
So, what is Restaurant Week anyway?
Restaurant Week is the idea of Željka Marjanović and Ozren Drobnjak, who wanted to find a way to promote Croatia’s culinary scene in cooperation with its catering establishments. Restaurants participating in the campaign meet the needs of guests through a special promotional offer. The concept is modeled on capital cities around the world and is adapted to the Croatian market. During the event, participating restaurants offer various three-course menus at promotional prices. It is held twice a year, usually in late February and late September, though the 23rd edition was held last October and this one in March.
The Croatian capital has 20 participating restaurants this time, while Croatia's second-largest city Split welcomes eight restaurants this year.
Thus, diners in Split can enjoy 3-course menus from Brasserie on 7, Da'Mar at Hotel Marvie, Dujkin Dvor, Olive Tree, Kaštil Slanica, Sidi Bar, Restaurant Split 1921 at Hotel Park, and Zinfandel Food & Wine Bar.
