Croatia’s Michelin Guide for 2019 has been published. This year, the judges gave two restaurants their first Michelin stars and added three to the Bib Gourmand list.

The two newcomers are Zagreb’s Noel, run by chef Goran Kočis, and Deni Srdoč’s Draga di Lovrana, a family-run hotel in the Istria region serving terroir-based foods, with a focus on fish and shrimp.

Croatia's other one-star restaurants are Monte in Rovinj, 360 in Dubrovnik and Pelegrini in Šibenik.

  • newly awarded three Michelin star Marbella restaurant?
  • As for the new Bib Gourmand restaurants, these are Konoba Vinko in Šibenik, and both Agava and TAČ in Zagreb.

    2019 is the third time Michelin inspectors have made a list for Croatia; it now counts five one-star restaurants, eight Bib Gourmands – the award given to restaurants serving good food for less than 35 euros -   and 50 Michelin Plates, the less prestigious recognition introduced last year.

    The Balkan country best known by Britons for its beaches has a blossoming culinary scene, with influences from Western and central Europe as well as the Middle East.

    Small Contribution. Big Impact.

    The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

    We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

     

    A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
