CULINARY HERITAGE: Taste the past times and join us on a unique adventure where history isn’t just a story – it’s a meal! Each dish is inspired by ingredients that have been part of Omiš for centuries – simple, bold, and full of character, just like the pirates who once ruled these shores.
Pirate Brunch combines the culinary heritage of Dalmatia with the most thrilling chapter of Omiš history, linked to medieval Croatian dukes and piracy.
The pirate past of Omiš goes back to a time when its people fearlessly defended their lands and sea for over two centuries, and piracy – alongside trade and charging fees for safe passage through their waters – was a legitimate source of income.
Dalmatian cuisine today brings together gastronomic, cultural, and natural heritage and is listed by UNESCO as part of the Mediterranean Diet.
Omiš uniquely combines ingredients from the sea, the river, and the hinterland.
Keeping in mind that the word diet originally means a way of life, the Mediterranean Diet is one of the healthiest in the world, representing not only healthy eating, but also a healthy lifestyle.
The traditional Dalmatian marenda (mid-day meal) embodies the key principles of the Mediterranean Diet – such as the use of fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and the importance of shared meals.
The turbulent history of this region has produced fascinating gastronomic stories and a rich variety of dishes – some of which we will taste during our historical walk through the town.
GOOD TO KNOW
The logo of the Pirate Brunch – a spoon, fork and knife arranged in the shape of a cross and a mace – is inspired by a centuries-old coat of arms, today the official emblem of the town of Omiš.
