Buša na pjatu 2026
Kistanje (08.05.2026. - 09.05.2026.)
Two top chefs. Two Dinos. Unique flavours of the karst.
Bold gastronomy, outstanding creativity, and a new interpretation of buša beef dishes are coming to Kistanje — a place where tradition meets modern cuisine and indigenous ingredients gain a whole new dimension.
This May brings a two-day gastronomic experience celebrating the strength of local produce, the authenticity of the Dalmatian hinterland, and top-level culinary execution.
The taste of the karst, reimagined
Buša, an indigenous cattle breed that has thrived for centuries in the harsh karst landscape, takes centre stage at this event. Through innovative approaches and modern techniques, its meat is reinterpreted into dishes that combine tradition with fine dining.
