The art of pairing the best meals with top wines

The Boutique Hotel Alhambra – located right by the sea – is the most luxurious hotel on the island of Lošinj and a place full of delights where time simply stops. Seven-course dinners, the subtle flavours of ingredients carefully paired with the best wines in the world and the refined ambience of the cove of Čikat combine to create a magnificent atmosphere that will relax your body and soul.

The Alhambra Boutique Hotel
is a place of ultimate enjoyment, rest and relaxation, where a special focus has been placed on superb cuisine and the best Croatian and international wines. All three meals are à la carte while lunches and dinners are served in 5 or 7 courses alongside a selection of wines from a wine list with 250 of some of the best wines in the world.

The Alhambra’s chefs are in step with modern culinary trends. They combine the simple flavours of the Mediterranean, fresh fish and local produce with prized luxury ingredients from all over the world. Our dishes are always prepared such that the natural flavours, the juices of the meat and the freshness of the flavourful spices are preserved in the final product.

To illustrate, our chefs have selected two of the top specialties from their kitchen – marbled homemade caramelle pasta stuffed with crab, shrimp and scampi in sage butter, and rack of veal served in its own natural juices with duchess potatoes and three kinds of carrot.

Combining the best traditions of Mediterranean cuisine, the most popular flavours in the world and the refined elements of molecular gastronomy, the Alhambra has become an unmissable location on the map of fine wine and fine dining.

Our sommelier is always at your service – although there do exist general principles for pairing wines with food, feel free to make your own careful selection of the perfect wine to go with your meal.
