RESTAURANTS
An exquisite gastronomic experience
Omiš and Dalmatia boast excellent regional wines and food. They are served in a number of truly impressive local restaurants, including our top-quality restaurant Kaštil Slanica, operating in historical buildings placed in the fascinating landscape of the magnificent canyon of the River Cetina.
KAŠTIL SLANICA – specialties from the sea, river and hinterland
In the canyon of the Cetina, only 4 kilometers from Omiš and the seashore, there is a place that the famous Omiš pirates used as their hideout and safe haven during three centuries of the reign of the princely Kačić family. In the 16th century, a salt-trading station was built there, giving the place its name (slan – Croatian for “salty”).
Slanica Tower is now a protected historical landmark. Hosting a restaurant with a twenty-year tradition, it is a unique place where romance and gastronomy blend. Being part of the canyon’s long history, the restaurant is located in a perfect setting. This beautiful environment and the eventful past are reflected in the tastes of the food and wine it serves.
While the more adventurous gusts can enjoy snails, frogs, eel or trout from the Cetina or seafood – just like the Omiš pirates used to do – those inclined to more traditional tastes can savor dishes like bread and meat made under a baking lid and home-made desserts like fritule and rožata.
