“What the sea gives you” is not only a delicious fish and crab stew prepared at Zijavica tavern in Mošćenička Draga, but also the business philosophy of its 36-year-old owner and chef Steven Vunić, who has been patiently and passionately building his culinary empire for 11 years, next to one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. The son of one of the oldest langoustine fishermen in Kvarner is eternally inspired by indigenous dishes of the Kvarner region, a touch of tradition that gives something unique combined with modern and sophisticated approach to cuisine. His huge dedication to work earned Zijavica membership in the prestigious Jeunes Restaurateurs association and Michelin star recommandation. Although both his name and his gastronomic signature are well known in the Croatian culinary world, he wants to reach new heights. He is strict, precise, organized, and technically extremely skilled.
