Croatian cuisine often doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves, but its culinary scene is booming. For an exquisite taste of the best that Croatia has to offer, reserve a table at Nebo Restaurant & Lounge located at Hilton Rijeka Costabella Beach Resort & Spa. Michelin-starred since 2021, the only thing that rivals the uniquely Croatian flavors at this eatery are the stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. From Nebo’s incredible rooftop perch, you can choose the degustation menu for an 11-course feast or the short degustation menu for nine delightful courses. While the menu changes seasonally to use fresh ingredients from local producers, you can expect elevated Croatian dishes like trout with zucchini and elderberry flower; wild hog with cherries and eggplant; and marshmallow with black sesame for dessert.

Whether you love oysters by the dozen or have never tasted one before, we recommend you try the uniquely prepared version of these shell-locked treasures served at Hilton New Orleans Riverside. The hotel is home to Drago’s Seafood Restaurant, where NOLA’s most iconic charbroiled oysters were first served in 1993. Splattered in a buttery garlic and herbs sauce then sprinkled with a blend of Parmesan and Romano cheese, these oysters are then cooked in their shell on a hot grill. Once they have a slightly crisp topping, the oysters are served with fresh bread and lemon slices for extra zing. Drago’s is also the perfect place to try some of the other quintessential seafood dishes that New Orleans is known for.
