Two true gastro artists from the small town of Kastav in Kvarner have recently proved the quality of Croatian gastronomy, especially the Mediterranean food, as well as the art and expertise of Croatian cooks. Nenad Kukurin, the owner of the popular Restaurant Kukuriku in Kastav, and Robert Klickovic, the chef in the same restaurant, won plenty of viewer favor and were pronounced the most successful in presentation of the Mediterranean cuisine in the popular La prova del cuoco show on the Italian TV channel RAI 1 in a gastro competition. Their victory in mid-September in Rome closed the gastro duel with the representatives of Syria and the popular duo from Kastav remained in the competition.

Needless to say, their success is a further contribution to presentation of Croatia as a destination having a rich gastro offer and confirmation of the Mediterranean cuisine, recommended by the experts of the World Health Organization as the healthiest. Nenad Kukurin is a representative of the fifth generation in his Restaurant Kukuriku in Kastav, in a family tradition of 117 years. Situated in the small town of Kastav surrounded by medieval walls on a 365-meter hill near Rijeka and Opatija, the restaurant has become a favorite for lovers of high-quality and nutritively harmonized, creatively prepared and served slow food.
