Autumn is for eating

Autumn is the best time to eat on the Riviera. From mid-September to mid-October, Blue Fish Month has restaurants in Crikvenica, Dramalj and Selce cooking with sardines, mackerel and tuna, with cooking shows on the opening weekend. In November the Days of Taste bring special three-course menus built on traditional recipes and seasonal produce, so book ahead. Pair it with a glass of Žlahtina from Vinodol, a local variety now being replanted. In May, the Scampi Festival is the one for Kvarner scampi.
