The lamb from island of Cres, one of the three biggest islands of the Kvarner archipelago, has a reputation for being one of the best in Croatia, and there are lots of different kinds of lamb in Croatia. These compliments about its glorious taste are due to the fact that the lamb on Cres feeds on many specific plants characteristic to the island.
Chefs from Hotel Admiral in Opatija recognized this as a great opportunity to create a new manifestation with intent to bring this unique kind of lamb closer to many guests of Opatija. We invite you to join us and spend a pleasant evening with different specialties of Cres island, including not only lamb, but also different kinds of cheese, wine and other delicious food.
