Croatian Food Review - Trying Dishes with Truffles in Zagreb, Croatia Travel Food Video Transcript:
Hello there. Our first restaurant meal here. Let's make it happen in Zagreb.
So you were sold by a couple of items. What were they? Everything with truffles. Everything with truffles. Polenta with truffles. Pasta with truffles. Let's go in.
It is time for lunch here in Zagreb and we found a really cool restaurant like right around the corner from our Airbnb. This place I believe is called Fotic (Bistro Fotic) but I can't be sure because I can't seem to pronounce anything correctly in Croatian. Um, but anyways today we figured we would showcase some Croatian dishes and we're specifically going to be focussing on anything and everything with truffles. So I believe Sam you got risotto. Yes. I got polenta. And yeah truffles are going to be like the main thing.
We get our red wine. We get our dry reds before the meal even comes and I believe this is the Plavac or Plavac grape and this is the most common wine we've found here in Croatia and it is really good.
We got a nice bread basket that showed up. It is still warm. This must be complimentary. It is and it looks like homemade bread.
We ordered one little salad. Trying to get some fresh veggies and greens in our system. So yeah if you just take a look here this is just it is called the seasonal salad so I guess it varies by what time of the year it is and we are very much into the fall. Yeah, so we're getting tomatoes, we have a little bit of cabbage and onion, we have it looks like some iceberg lettuce and then over here yeah it looks like arugula as well.
The food is here and it looks amazing. So like I mentioned earlier I ended up getting the polenta which is really cool. They kind of cooked it in like a circular fashion and then sliced it and in between I have like this red cabbage and also he came to the table and he brought his little truffle and he actually like sliced it onto my meal.
Time to try your main the risotto. Before I even try it I've just got to talk about the procedure of this whole thing. It was plated at the table with a saucepan and then they came and did the whole truffle grating business. Then he added parmesan cheese.
Let's try that. I'm going to make sure I get a piece of truffle. I'm going to dig down deep so I get a bit of everything here. And you got the risotto with prosciutto, pine nuts and truffles.
It is time to choose our dessert and they actually have a display case with all of the cakes back there. We're just going to share one slice because that was a lot of food and the one that has caught our attention, for both of us, is called the Sevitina Torta which has custard, chocolate, hazelnut and nutella.
Time for price point. So that came to 236 Kuna which was 30 Euros in total. And basically 15 per person and that was for two glasses of red wine, a salad to share, two mains and a dessert to share. So pretty good value and my gosh the food was excellent here. We'd highly recommend this place.
