- Come join us we try Croatian Food at a local restaurant (Konoba Fetivi) specializing in seafood dishes, risotto and mediterranean cuisine. It has often been our experience that the best recommendations for restaurants and foods worth trying in a new destination are from locals, so we were thrilled when our airbnb host recommended we try seafood and risotto at Konoba Fetivi. Overall, we ended up ordering quite a bit for our lunch in Croatia:
1) Local red wine
2) Pipi (Croatian orange soda)
3) Fried shrimp with lemon juice
4) Black risotto cuttlefish
5) White cheese risotto
6) Apple strudel but we wanted to try Rožata
7) Fig liqueur (local Croatian drink)

Trying Croatian Food in Split, Croatia Travel Video Transcript:
Alright guys so it is lunchtime here in Split. We just arrived yesterday and we were asking our airbnb host for recommendations for her favorite restaurants and this was one place she mentioned for seafood. It is called Konoba Fetivi. We've just arrived like as soon as they opened we were by the door. It has got a great little courtyard. This is maybe is this our first meal outside in a courtyard in 2018? It is finally warm enough. Just barely. Borderline. I still have my coat over my shoulders. It is like low teens. We've got some sunshine and blue skies. It feels rustic. We're going to enjoy some seafood.
Tell me about the drink you got. The name caught my attention. Pipi. Our waiter said it is like the Croatian fanta but even better. Better than fanta. And I have to agree. I had a sip too. I had a sip already. It is more juicy. It is like more fruity.
They have just brought out yeah all of the food. This is our appetizer. We got the fried shrimp and I love how they serve it.
This is a tile. This is like a tile off of a roof. Oh wow, that is what it is? That is the best. My house in South America used to have tiles like this.
Just some brown paper and then our shrimp. We doused it in lemon juice too. Perfect with lemon. A little bit of course sea salt on top.
We are going to move on to the risotto even though we have lots of shrimp to work with.
Okay now try the black one too. And I'll eat some of the black risotto. Some of the cuttlefish. Black squid ink. We've got some little shrimp, black pepper it looks creamy.
You can taste a little bit of the white wine. I like how creamy it is. I like the taste of the cuttlefish.
So dessert time. Dessert time. Well guys we ended up going with apple strudel. I know it is not the most local thing. What was the one that we wanted to get but they didn't have?
We wanted to try something called Rožata. Which is a local caramel pudding.
You can tell tonnes of apple in there.
Really good. Really juicy.
A little tipple. A little liquor. A little liquor and this is local date. Fig!
The color of your hair. And your moustache. And your beard. If you've ever had date or fig syrup. It has got that kind of taste and then potency of the alcohol. This is just a beautiful way to end off an awesome meal. Let's enjoy that cake. And then I've got to do a lot of walking after to burn. To burn off all of these calories. It has been a big meal.
Finished that meal. Time to assess the damage. That was 343 Kuna or 46 Euros. Not the cheapest meal but my gosh that was delicious. So that included the two risottos. That included the shrimp appetizer. That included the wine and your soft drink. The dessert drink. And the dessert of course. Overall a fantastic meal. We absolutely love that place. If you guys come here you've got to check it out for sure.
This is part of our Travel in Croatia video series showcasing Croatian food, Croatian culture and Croatian cuisine.

It certainly looks like the Croatian people know how to make delicious dishes, that black rice plate, whow!
Thank you! They sure do. The food is incredible. We had so many good meals now in various places.
Wow great appetizers there. Nice restaurant. Never been in Croatia. Will put this on my bucket list.
Thank you! Hope you can visit soon. We love it there.
One of my favorite parts about traveling is the presentation of food in different places, not just the food itself. In America or Canada, I would never think to see food served on a roof tile. But some restaurants do it in Hanoi and now Croatia. Since I can't try the amazing food you guys try, I'll just admire the cool presentation and add it to my endless bucket list. Great video as always! I always look forward to your videos. They put a smile on my face every time!
Thank you! I totally agree with you. It makes the meal so much more memorable.
Hi Sam and Audrey again what a fantastic video I love hoe you guys explain all the details to us Keep the videos coming
Thank you very much! More coming soon.
You making me so hungry lol love your vids thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Food looks delicious.
Oh I sure enjoy the food videos very much.
It’s the best.
Thank you! It was some of the best seafood we've had in a while.
Absolutely love this video👍👍
Thank you very much!
Did you ever tried "škampi na buzaru?" It's shrimps but big ones, in red souce. It's my fav I can eat it every single day 😂 It's like spicy sweet taste
Oh we'll have to try that!
Pipi bottle is so cool!
Thanks! The bottle is pretty cool.
Cheers guys, exceptional videos as always, regrettably couldn't fit Split into my itinerary when I visited last month but it will definitely my first port of call when next I'm in Croatia.
i'm going soon thanks for the vid
Perfect timing of your trip, my friends and I are going next month!
Thanks! THAT IS really exciting to hear. Hope you have a great time.
THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD!! Okay FRENCH PASTRIES are excellent. But, you can't beat food from this area of the world. I LOVE East Indian FOOD TOO. But I will take some of this ANY DAY.
Sam, you need to improve your shrimp eating procedure.
Ah, I really do.
Split is amazing!! Thank you for sharing your time here and the awesome food!! Oddly enough, outside the palace walls along one of the main streets is an awesome Lebanese shawarma place. We went back to split partly just to eat there!! Lol rest place!
Thank you! Oh, that sounds so good. Do you remember the name?
+Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos it was called Kebob House just West of the palace under a little archway, really small but really good!
I went to Croatia this this holiday vacation i ate the split cake :)
How was it?
@@samuelandaudrey Amazing! I also went in the sea and Saw Fish :) and also the ice cream was more bolls :) and bigger pizza's :)
I also liked the waterfalls
And i also went to Trogir
For some reason Sam had me thinking of Garfield....the cat, when he bit the head offa that innocent little shrimp.....and now it's going loop in my mind.......omg......:-)
LOL, your head is going to be spinning ;)
Foods worth trying
Thank you! We sure ate well in Croatia.
Which camera was this video filmed with, especially at the start in the restaurant? It's so clear.
THanks! It is the Panasonic GH5. Highly recommend it.
Im from Croatia, and thats not how you eat shrimp 😂
What shoudl we do?
You peel the skin off them and eat the meat in the middle :)
@@laport2Croatia isn't a "hate America" country like France or Italy.
@@petarticinovic2710 You are so right on this !!
Please learn some dining etiquette
Wow those shrimp looked so good!
Thank you! They were delicious.
Hello Sam & Audrey,
Omg I went there last month!!! I came across your videos when planning for a vacation in Croatia & Bosnia Herzegovina. Enjoyed your videos so much that I added to my pinterest boards (create one for each country that I travel).
Anyway my favourite food in Split is this simple fried small fish & chips close to the fish market.
Thank you very much! Oh, that sounds wonderful. Do you remember the name?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos the place is called Zlatna Ribica located at Kraj Sv.Marije 8. Very close to the fish market
Hi, Samuel and Audrey. Croatia might be simply fun, especially the Croatian countryside. You guys are expert travelers, especially the inspiring Audrey. I can't wait to see what you have in store in Stockholm, Sweden, and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Thank you very much!
Healthy Dalmatian cuisine 😊👍
I loved the seafood dishes you had! I've been dreaming about eating black risotto with the squid ink for a long time, but it didn't happen so far. And, although you traveled in winter time, the weather looked really nice.
Thank you! AH, we lucked as apparently the week before it was brutal. Highly recommend you try it.
The winter at the coast is mostly mild .... here in Split it mostly between 10-15 degrees BUT it can happen that it is even colder than that. This year we also had 2 days snow which doesn't happen that often...it is rare.
It's not squid ink, it's cuttlefish ink. Not the same.
I was born there in Croatia Split
Cool to hear!
prawn tail can be razor sharp even after frying so it is much safer not to eat it whole....instead you just break them where its body meets the head and pull all the juicy bits out.....for me prawns are all about the texture and dressing/marinade.... they have such delicate taste that even the lightest marinade overtake the taste and you need about a tonne to get your belly full....
Thanks for letting us know Silvia!
nice
thanks
The name of Audrey's softdrink really amused me. In my country (Germany) that is what small children call urine.
Wow, hahaha...that is interesting to hear.
Finally I saw this video... I waited for it hehehhe I never liked the black risotto. It is very common on Croatian parties to have white and black risotto. Nice video as always. Greets from Kaštela/Split
Thank you! That is cool the serve both typically!
You’re a braver man than I am eating the prawns heads, tentacles shell and all? I’ve never seen anyone do that. Yuk!
I tried the black risotto on a recent holiday to Croatia, like you I started having it every night. Amazing with parmesan sprinkled over it. Very reasonable also at around €10 per main course serving. Must try the white one next time.
Thank you! Hahaha...I did get a bit adventurous. Yeah, excellent value to be honest.
hermosa la argie
🧡💚💙❤️💜💕
Thanks!!!
Very nice there !
Thank yoU!
I going there on Friday. I might bump into you guys :P
Very cool! Unfortunately, we filmed this many months ago. Hope you have a great time! The weather must be warm now.
I love my risotto saucy and with extra serving of parmesan. Nice video tho!:)
Oh, that is the best! Thank you.
Nice
Thank you!
For you VR fans like myself, the entire region around Split is covered in both full 3D and 360 degree Street View images in the new Google Earth VR version. Even the extensive white rock mountains to the north are fully covered in full 3D and 360 degree "street views" by hikers with what are now cheap 360 degree cameras. And Street View from actual streets takes you right to the front door of Konoba Fetivi. It is just like having your own private cab and touring helicopter. That restaurant is within easy walking distance from the large tour boat ports of which several tour boats were in port when the 3D photogrammetry imagery was shot down at 45 degrees from a low flying airplane above in 5 different directions in order to get all sides of everything. Massive computers in large banks amazingly do the rest to create a massive 3D model of the entire region from above. Welcome to the new world of virtual reality. FYI - The Google so-called "street view" library part now has over 3 BILLION 360 degree images of the world from all prospectives. GEVR with both street views and the 3D models is considered one of the few VR "killer apps" by VR enthusiasts. They have not figured out how to reproduce the food and wine however. BTW - GEVR does not work on the new low cost and self-contained Oculus "Go". And about 1300 entire regions around the world have been captured this way so far.
👍😁🍻
I never knew there was such a thing as black risotto! interesting
Amir Reza Sadaghiani Yes, it's one of our most traditional and famous food, among with peka, pašticada and Dalmatian brudet. My mother in law cooks great black rissoto, I am perfecting it myself, too, so definitely, you should to order it if you find it in some good fish restaurant. That black colour is basically ink of cuttlefish
We had never tried it until we visited Croatia. Highly recommend it.
That is so cool. I bet your mother in law makes a great one!
Hi guys geetings from (now 😁) Oakville!
Hey! Oh, you're nearby Audrey's parents house :) How are you enjoying being in Oakville?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I love it, especially dowtown. Yesterday we went to the Lakeshore, it was awesome. 😊
I
just want to
find from where is that sweatershirt?
Audrey got that in Sorrento, Italy last year.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thanks a lot, I mean is it from any brand ?
now when you are at the cost....do not leave without trying Zubatac(fish),idk its name in english....latin name is dentex dentex....it is most delicious fish in adriatic!!!! we call it car o` rib(fish emperor)
Thank you for the suggestion!
Very good video friend 💚💙❤️
Thank you!
@@samuelandaudrey wc
Audrey I love your shirt! Do you remember where you got it from? Great video!
I think she got it in a store in Sorrento, Italy last year. Sorry we forget the store name.
So it would be informative if you guys also spoke about the tipping guidelines for each country that you visit...
Thanks! That is a great suggestion and something we'll try to do in the future.
€46 doesn't sound bad! If I think about here in Bologna we spent that in a pizza place the other day (two pizzas and water!).
Are you serious? No way a pizza should cost that, the ingredients are cheap to make the pizza and water is, well, water. I want to visit Bologna, Tuscany and Florence, but those prices sound steep.
Thanks! For what we got I thought it was good value.
Strudel, or štrudla is original croatian dish, austrians pick it from us
Do you workout?
We try our best to walk a lot on trips but at home we jog and lift weights.
Hi Dudes, time for FOOOOD and WINE!!!!
Thanks!
U guys are eating very well how much it cost in american dollars?
Thanks! The price we're saying in Euros would be a bit more in US dollars. Right now 10 Euro equals
11.73 United States Dollar
I know Audrey is a fan of the veggies....did you notice much vegetarian food in Split?
Yes, you can find quite a few dishes with veggies.
Hi ! Samuel and Audrey : I saw your T shirt written Shanghai ,I guessed you might wanted to go to China , but I have many bad experience going to China , that place just make you feel dizzy and crazy !
Thank you! Where did you visit in China?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos many places.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
sorry for being rude , I have been to many places in China , none of them give me a pleasant feeing , but I have to say I never been to Shanghai before .......but there's so many beautiful places worth to visit in the world..........
I've been a subscriber of yours for a while now, I love your videos and have watched a lot (not all, but many) but curious - have you ever done a video that you were NOT crazy about the food? It seems as if you always luck out and love the food. Or maybe tell us which country you weren't exactly in love with the food you had? Thanks!
Seth Dominick I've seen at least one of their videos, I can't remember where, but they said all the food at a restaurant was awful and overpriced.
Thank you! We tend to like most things we try but to be honest we've had some really bad food as well. Our video about Blagaj comes to mind.
Thanks! Our video from Blagaj is what I remember off of the top of my head.
Hola, Audrey. Se me antojó todo. Muero por ir a Croacia. Una pregunta, en unos meses iremos a Montreal por unos pocos días, ¿en qué barrio/zona recomiendas que nos hospedemos? Somos un grupo familiar de 7 personas con edades que van de los 11 a los 65 años. Rentaremos automóvil. Gracias de antemano. Saludos desde Acapulco, México.
¡Gracias! Es emocionante escuchar acerca de su próximo viaje a Montreal. Terminamos quedándonos en Le Plateau y lo recomendaríamos encarecidamente.
¡Gracias por la recomendación!
46 euro's for 2 people is actually not bad from what I have noticed in Croatia. We spend about 30 euro's a person each night in Croatia because the food is pretty expensive there. In Bosnia we spend I believe 40 euro's including tip for 3 people for a massive meat platter, drinks and dessert, and then in Croatia it sometimes ended up being 90 euro's for the same but not as tasty food. It's a shame Croatia is so expensive because the food is pretty amazing.
Thanks for sharing that. Indeed, we found Bosnia to be quite a bit cheaper in terms of prices of food. I think maybe the key to having more affordable meals would be to eat away from the centre or touristy zones.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos We did, that's the strange part. We only ate away from the touristy parts in Croatia because in Split town centre and especially Dubrovnik, it was just insane. The one time we ate in Split our meal was a bit more expensive, absolutely amazing, but we just got the tiniest portion so we decided not to do that again haha.
Sorry, but for example, the price of minced meat used in meat plata is way cheaper than cuttlefish for risotto. In Split you also have a lot of resturants where you may eat delicious burgers, pizzas and meat platter for a cheaper price.
All depends on what you want, some traditional food is expensive because its ingredients.
But I also do not deny that some places set their price higher because of their name and popularity.
I suggest you to visit Pecado resturant to try burgers and resturant Calypso that is a bit far from the centre, if you want a bit cheaper options.
Also, if you didnt try traditional meal "Pašticada" yet, I suggest that also.
Anđela Pijuk I definitely agree and we have also tried other meals including a complete fish platter with all types of more expensive fish, so I do understand but I do feel like because of the location a lot of places like to charge way more for a lot less food. The same thing in Dubrovnik.
Cynthia Bernardy I agree for Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik is the most expencive city in Croatia to visit, even without food.
But in every other city in Croatia there may be found places with "normal" prices.
If she fills up on risotto, you will get more dessert!
Great point! Hahaha :)
:-)
:)
when you sauce bread into oil you're not supposed to add vinegar lol
Its the same old video edited!!
Man you need to clean shrimp
Our mistake.
Say Hi to your Dad for me Sam

Correction, those are not shrimps AND pipi has less orange juice than fanta
Thanks for the correction.
"Dragi Sam i Audrey", Dear Sam and Audrey'.
Most ,if not all, of the calamary and cuttlefish ( and haddock/merluza ) You would be offered as "local" in Europe,Spain,Greece and other countries, comes from Argentina's territorial waters under the usurpation of the British imperialistic occupation of the Malvinas Islands and other South Atlantic islands belonging to Argentina.
Brittain "sells" the fishing "permits" to any hungry 'first world" nation wiling to loot Argentina's sovereign waters and marine wealth.
And so they do,telling tourists the happy tale of the "delicious" Mediterranean and Adristic sea seafood.
Being of Dalmatian descent and having relatives in Dalmatia, I've been told, that long since, fishing in both seas its not enough any more to feed the countries of the region, much less the millions of tourists that visit the region and the rest of Europe every year.
So looting Argentina's natural wealth with the help of the historic bully keeps being the "best" way of "enjoying" a good seafood meal for the Europeans.
Saludos criollos desde Sydney. As the Catalan singer Joan Manuel Serrat used to sing: "truth its never sad, what it doesn't have is remedy " " nunca es triste la verdad, lo que no tiene es remedio"
Also a lot of Chinese fishing vessels as well? It seems that area is being exploited by many countries.
Don't be ridiculous
Lol don’t eat shell
Hahaha...our bad!
That's not how you eat 😆😆😆
?
no to china
?
this isn't croatia
What?
