For this Easter holiday, Dubrovnik restaurants are preparing interesting menus with traditional meals and modern interpretations of food that has been served during this biggest Catholic holiday for centuries. The tastes and scents of spring, wild asparagus, young lamb and green peas, refined spices, and new interpretations of traditional dishes await you during Easter Lunch.

Food has always had a central role in the celebration of Easter and some of these Easter customs have been preserved until the present day. Certain Easter foods are packed in a basket and taken to church to be blessed and later, they are eaten for Easter breakfast or lunch. In Dubrovnik’s Easter baskets one can find fresh cheese, spring onions, salt, traditional ˝pinca˝ (Easter sweet bread), and eggs, ingredients and specialties whose flavours sum up all the fullness and beauty of Easter traditions and ancient customs.
