Thank you for making this video. We just finished our meal at Kopun and it was incredible!

[@PureDetour]

That is amazing. Kopun is one of my favourite restaurants in the entire world. So happy you enjoyed your experience there.

[@barriekelly107]

Heading to Dubrovnik in a couple of months. Looking forward to trying some of your recommendations. Great video!

[@PureDetour]

Oh nice. I do hope you enjoy. Whatever you do, do not miss out on Kopun! And if you happen to run into Ana, tell her Geoff says hello

[@littlesammyf7380]

Just want to say thank you for this video, we are staying in Dubrovnik this week and today we had the meat tapas at Alamaka.

[@PureDetour]

That is awesome. The family there is so kind and their food is top notch. Hope you enjoyed it and a nice glass of Croatian Red wine with it

[@dca505]

Your Croatian snack video is GREAT 😂. I do the same everyone I travel. 9am snack feast ❤! LOVE IT

Yay! Thank you!.

[@anabitanga5312]

Ana! We love you too ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks so much for hanging out and helping us eat our way around your amazing city!

[@inah5464]

Sausages are from SLAVONIJA ( part of continental Croatia) not Slovenia with is neighboring country. Just a friendly correction. Great video, I am glad you enjoyed our delicious food.

[@PureDetour]

You are absolutely correct. I mis-spoke in the video. Thank you for being so kind in correcting me

[@susancampbell2349]

Such a beautiful laneway at the top of your video! I was hoping you would have a Palacinke! Reminds me of Baka ♥️ Are you planning on doing an accommodation video in Dubrovnik? Always like to see where you're staying!

[@PureDetour]

Hi Sue! The whole town is full of gorgeous little alleys and streets. Next video is a tour of the town, but I'm afraid we didn't film the little apartment that we stayed in for a few days. It's a shame too, had such a cute little terrace. 😍

[@Chauncy63]

LOL the Shlivovits "Oh Holy Hell" heheh. I was on a train in Croatia where there was a wedding party ON the train. The bottles of Shlivovits were being passed around to the extent that it was almost an insult to the new couple to NOT take a sip....or two. That stuff will knock your socks off.

[@PureDetour]

You get used to it after being there for awhile but that first taste. Oh boy

[@branko4033]

Who drinks Sluvovitz in DU? You got it mixed up with other types of rakija, like loza, travaricu (herbs flavoured loza) and, to a lesser degree, anisette, my favourite. And that goes for the entire Adriatic coast. Slivovitza is popular in non-mediteranian areas.

[@suayhughes8103]

I really enjoy watching your video.

[@PureDetour]

Thanks so much Suay! We enjoy your sweet comments ❤️

Hope you have an amazing time. Be warned, Dubrovnik gets super crowded from Jun to the end of August. Hopefully you are there in the early part of the month

[@drinkbeerandtravel]

@@PureDetour June 1 to 5th, hopefully we are just before the crowds and ideal weather.

[@PureDetour]

You should be good at that point. Mid June is usually when it starts

[@fapmashina1]

Great video! I'm glad you've enjoyed our food that much! My advice for you is to visit also continental Croatia that is full of beauty on it's own. For instance eastern Croatia where I come from is full of interesting cities and places but also extremely tasty local traditional dishes! Kind regards from Slavonia, part of Croatia from which this spicy sausage (Kulin or Kulen) came from!

[@PureDetour]

Thank you so much my friend. If i make it back to Croatia the plan will be to spend time in the rest of the country.😁

[@robertrauter8459]

at that both are realy good!!!!!!

[@PureDetour]

The ones we tried were delicious!

[@d.v.9679]

Next time i recomend you to eat Peka, Soparnik, pasta with plum, Pečenica, Kaštradina, hrstule, pršurate, etc.

[@PureDetour]

Great recommendations! We did eat many of these dishes because we were lucky enough to have spent almost 3 months there this year. The food in Croatia is insanely underrated internationally, don't you think?

[@xuy98xuy98]

Really like your video, especially Croatia food tour. I heard you mentioned you like Croatia salty food a couple of times. I wonder whether in general Croatia food is salty or not. I prefer less salty. Should I tell the restaurant? I will go to Croatia next month. Thanks.

[@PureDetour]

I wouldn't say Croatian food is overly salty. Cured meats will always be a bit salty but your everyday dishes not so much

[@antonyvaughan7808]

Just found you guys, really enjoyed your videos. Just one question is there a reason you don't add the prices?

[@PureDetour]

On our older videos we never put prices on the items when we did food tours. We did do monthly cost of living videos but in Croatia we stayed in Angela's family home so we didn't do them there. However, just know that it is Croatia and Croatia is a not a super cheap travel destination anymore. Prices I would say are very comparable for dining at any major city in North America or popular European destination.

Going this summer and can’t wait to try these places. Did you need a reservation for any of them?

[@PureDetour]

If you are going in summer you will need a reservation for all of them. Dubrovnik is extremely crowded and busy in the summer months. Unfortunately, my understanding is that Cezars street burgers has permanently closed since I filmed there

[@davidcleland1947]

Going to Dubrovnik Monday, if u have any recommendations on places to eat and dishes to try would be appreciated.

[@PureDetour]

Literally anyplace or dish in the video. Especially Kopun. What Ana is doing there is truly special and she had a wine bar in the works when I was last there. They may be open now. Of course what I ate in the video may not be your cup of tea, but anything off of any of their menus will be worth it

[@davidcleland1947]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@PureDetour excellent thank you, I can not wait to try the sea food as I find often the seafood here in UK can be hit or miss at times. I will certainly check out Kopun, would I need to book in advance?

2:26 Slavonian Kulen rather than Slovenian :D. I'm glad you tried it, did you like it?

[@PureDetour]

Thanks for the correction! And yes it was amazing!

[@zarkokomljenovic4865]

2:33 Slovenian sausages are also great, but this one was Slavonian. :) Yeah, it's confusing and all the foreigners are mixing it up all the time: Slavonia, Slovenia, Slovakia... The word "Slav" in Slavic languages is both Slaven and Sloven.

[@TheVinci19]

don't forget that Istria and Dalmatia have been Italian or Venetian for centuries, so a lot of croatian food is strictly related to italian tradition, from prsut and pasta in Istria, to pastichada in Dalmatia. Anywaty, even the food from inland is really good

[@PureDetour]

We loved the food there so much. Also, the local wine is getting better every year, so impressed. So many people come for the beautiful towns and sea, but I don't think enough people talk about how amazing the food is!

[@TheVinci19]

@@PureDetour totally agree 😊. Ever tried ‘peka’, in Dalmatia? Pure poetry, as the ‘kulen’, a kind of salami. I even love Jana water! Have a wonderful year!

[@Kivas_Fajo]

So, when will you eat again at your favourite restaurant?

[@PureDetour]

Kopun? I would love to eat there right now! However I have been in SE Asia for a year with no plans to leave anytime soon.

[@Kivas_Fajo]

@@PureDetour I can completely understand that. Though I think squid, octopus and cuddle fish is something the Asians very obviously have no clue about how to prepare it right. Talking about it being hard, stringy and not good in general...was my experience there. Fish is also not prepared well iyam. The rest is delicious though. Depends on where you are. Thailand...yep, delicious. Bali, nah, all sucks, when you are not a millionaire. Chicken with rice or rice with chicken is all they can do somewhat good...sometimes.

[@PureDetour]

Going to have to disagree with this. I love cuttelfish and I don't think I have had a really good version in all of my travels throughout Europe. I have had countless delicious versions in SE Asia. I recently ate the most tender squid ink pasta with squid chunks I have ever had in my life in the Philippines although I would agree with your general squid and octopus sentiment. I would also disagree with your Bali/Indonesia thoughts. If you know where to find good Babi Guling then only the Philippines lechon will rival it. Great food can be found there if you know where to look. Malaysia is also a very underrated foodie destination and I would put them along with Thailand in my top 5 for my favourite cuisines in the world.

[@Kivas_Fajo]

@@PureDetour See, that's where we apparently differ vastly in taste buds. Babi Guling? I was at one of the best, always full with locals, restaurant on Bali and it was bad. I was told it was the best, but if their best is still bad, how bad must their not so good Babi Guling be? It was dry af and cold. In Germany we have a saying for how they prepared it. They killed it twice...and in this case three times. Once in the slaughterhouse and once with cooking and a third time by serving cold "BBQ". I was told it is always served cold. Now you tell me a cold, dry, well overcooked and stringy BBQ pork is good? I can't see how?

[@PureDetour]

@@Kivas_Fajo, to be fair, you could have just been there on a bad day or maybe the place wasn't as popular as you might think. I can take you to a place in Ubud that will make your jaw drop. As to it being cold, that is common even here in the Philippines. Once the pig is cooked it is sold until it is gone. Now here, there are places where an entire 45-50kg pig will be gone in 20 minutes and they sell 4-5 entire pigs and are done for the day. Most of the mall type places/ big chains etc. Pigs could be a few hours old so it is room temp at best.
