Lunching in the Balkans
A Luxurious Way of Living
Hello, fellow travellers and foodies! I want to share my experience in five very different cities: Dubrovnik, Split, Trieste, Salerno, and Koper. These cities may be well-known for their stunning architecture and history, but they also have some amazing hidden gems when it comes to food and drink. From fresh seafood to traditional dishes and aromatic coffee, these cities have it all. So, let me take you on a taste bud adventure through Dubrovnik‘s charming old town, Split‘s bustling streets, and Trieste‘s lively harbour. Get ready to experience some mouth-watering flavours and unique local culture.

A few recipes inspired by my trip
I had an incredible time here seven years ago and was excited to return and see how the city had changed. As most of you probably know, Dubrovnik rose to fame after being featured in the hit series Game of Thrones. But let me tell you, this city has so much more to offer than just being a filming location. Dubrovnik has a unique and inviting atmosphere, from the old town’s spotless streets and charming trinket shops to the friendly stray cats and dogs that roam freely. And, of course, the food!
