MICHELIN Guide 2023 - Croatia - A new MICHELIN Green Star

Today Michelin revealed its 2023 MICHELIN Guide selection in Croatia, a destination that thrilled the famous anonymous Guide inspectors. No fewer than 13 new restaurants captivated their exacting sensibilities to join this new lineup in 2023. 

The Korak restaurant in Jastrebarsko is awarded both a MICHELIN Star and a Green Star 

A particularly remarkable gourmet discovery is the Korak restaurant, located on the wine estate of the same name. That establishment is awarded a MICHELIN Star for the excellent quality of its cuisine, and it also receives a Green Star to acknowledge its inspiring commitment to more environmentally respectful gastronomy. 

With a balance of family tradition and refreshing renewal, this restaurant proposes particularly appetizing cookery highlighting ingredients from the owners’ kitchen garden and from farmers carefully selected to ensure great quality dishes. These professionals, eager to share life stories and their love for their land, strive to illustrate the changing seasons through their culinary creations. Choose between two tasting options – a five- or eight-course meal – and let yourself be swept away by this refined experience, further heightened by the first-rate reception and service of the chef’s sister. 

“This year, the MICHELIN Guide inspectors observed an increasing attention to the quality of the local ingredients and a greater commitment on the part of chefs and restaurant owners to seek out farmers in their local ecosystems,” comments Gwendal Poullennec, the International Director of the MICHELIN Guide “Whether at MICHELIN Star restaurants or Bib Gourmand establishments, respect for good produce is a priority, and the teams are focused on offering gourmets a gastronomic exploration of their territory, bringing an artful flourish to local products and Mediterranean seafood. The country is exemplary for its true sensitivity to sustainability, and we are curious to see the inspiring ecological culinary practices that will develop there in the future.” 

The complete 2023 Croatia MICHELIN Guide selection is available on the MICHELIN Guide website https://guide.michelin.com/en and on the MICHELIN Guide application, available free of charge on iOS and Android.
