Food and beverages
On all Croatia Airlines flights free food and beverages are offered and the service varies depending on the class of travel, the length of flight and the time of day.
The improved service has been offered on board our aircraft since April 11th under the name of The flavours of Croatia.
The Flavours of Croatia
With the new service concept we would like to offer you a representative meal which will be a faithful portrayal of the different parts of Croatia and to introduce you to Croatia and its individual regions through various segments: from gastronomy, cultural sights, culture and its customs to music.
Therefore in the next two years the airline will be presenting individual Croatian regions – Istria, Dalmatia, Zagreb and Hrvatsko Zagorje, Slavonia, Međimurje and Lika. Each region will be presented for three months.
Free food and beverages served on board differ depending on the class of travel, the length of the flight and the time of day. The meals are prepared to represent a specific Croatian region and they consist of the best quality representative food from the particular area. They are served in the newly designed plates and the trays are decorated with a new design representing the food from the specific region – e.g. truffles, asparagus, olives, figs etc.

The Flavours of Istria
Food and wine journey started on 11 April 2012 with the presentation of Istria and its gastronomy.
In this project a great help was given by chefs from a reputable restaurant San Rocco from the Istrian village of Brtonigla, who chose the dishes typical of Istria, and showed how to prepare them.
In selecting representative black and white wines, which are offered for tasting to the passengers on board as part of a Croatian wines service, consulted experts in the field, and the especially prominent wine expert Sasa Špiranec. Thus well-known Istrian producers – Matošević’s Alba, Kozlovic’s Othello, and on selected flights Menghetti Merlot will be offered during the presentation of Istrian wines.
Business Class passengers can taste the olive oil made by the Ipša family, and before and after the meals they will be offered aperitifs and digestives made by a well-known winemaker Rossi.
The on-board atmosphere is completed with a film about Istria, which is displayed during the flight and the music that was specially composed by Mr Alan Bjelinski.
Special meals
Special meals are offered on all flights in Business Class and on some flights in the Economy Class. You can order a special meal while purchasing your ticket but it has to be done at least 24 hour prior to the flight. Please contact your nearest Croatia Airlines office for more information.
