Eating on Rab: Restaurants, Konobas and the Rab Cake
On Rab you can enjoy fresh fish, lamb, dishes cooked under the peka and, for dessert, the famous Rab cake. Here is what's typical.
The Rab Cake
The Rapska torta is the island's best-known pastry: a cake made from almonds, lemon and liqueur, often shaped in a spiral. It has been baked for centuries and makes a lovely souvenir.
Fish, Lamb and Peka
In Rab's old town and in the island's harbors you'll find restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood. In the konobas inland you can get lamb from the grill or cooked under the peka.
Wine and Olive Oil
Wine and olive oil are produced on Rab. Many families sell their own products directly from the farm.
