Famous Japanese chef Yoji Tokuyoshi will be appearing at the second Restaurant and Bar Weekend in Rovinj in May of 2020. He gained a reputation working alongside Massimo Botture in Osteria Francescana, a three-Michelin star restaurant in Modena, Italy. He now runs his own restaurant in Milan based on ‘contaminated Italian cuisine’; a Japanese approach to classic Italian dishes. Some may refer to it as fusion, but it is far from that. It is about confronting and unifying two different cultural dimensions at the same time. Tokuyoshi’s coming to Croatia is of great importance, especially to the local restaurant industry. Other well-known guests such as Ana Roš from Hiša Franko and Sebastian Postogna have also confirmed to attend. Tomo Ricov i Boris Kovaček are the original founders of the R’N’B Weekend event.

In 2005, Secret Dalmatia was started from pure love for Croatia’s heritage, its incredible diversity, and beauty. We have since remained faithful to our initial mission – and are still today a boutique travel agency dedicated to showing the true, wholesome Croatia to the discerning travelers who want to experience our country and all our riches, not just see it.
A bottle of Croatian wine or rose liquor will go far in telling stories, and so will some of the praised olive oils. Keep the memory of the Adriatic alive with salt from centuries’ old pans at Ston or Pag Island or with a sample of Istria’s famed truffles. Lightweight travelers should consider typical spices like lavender or rosemary, herbal teas or candied orange peels and almonds.
