Maté-Croatia

In order to keep the good vibes going in this blog, lets keep going with my absolute favorite part of my trip: Maté. Firstly, it’s on an island, and for those with a boat, it could be nice stop. Plus, it’s a few kilometers above one one of the nicest beaches on the island: Pupnatska Luka (careful, it’s a hike to get up there!).
Secondly, because it’s good! It’s simple, well put together, and very nice.
Finally, it’s a really nice family that runs it, it’s mostly the son Mate and his buddy met in the army that make the food, and that serve.
Plus, there’s good music, Bob Dylan type, and let’s just say, it’s not bad at all!

The prosciutto, lard, cheese, fig, eggplant, and eggplant purée plate.

To give you an idea of the bucolic atmosphere of the place

I’ll put up some more pictures later

A few pictures for travel:
