Surf & turf Croatian style

 

Just in case anyone was still unsure, Croatian cuisine is well and truly kicking in Vienna. This is a different establishment from the one I have posted about recently - more centrally located but with equivalent quality food. I stuck to my non-meat regimen but my wife likes truffles, so it was not an all seafood event - hence surf & turf

As always, some indigenous olive oil makes for a great start to any meal

Lovely seafood starter, with tuna tartare (there is a method here ), swordfish carpaccio and octopus.

My wife stuck to the turf side with a rucola / parmesan salad.

My surf main - a seppia risotto. One of my favourite dishes, even if I eat rice rarely otherwise. With nice, large chunks of squid inside. Can only recommend it

And a truffle risotto for my wife, with some scallops as an extra - a true Croatian surf and turf dish I guess

All washed down with some nice Grasevina and it makes for a great quick meal inbetween! Just in case Damjan still thought that we could not adequately feed him here, or that he would have culinary homesickness
