CULINARY SPOTLIGHT •
a cuttlefish ragout with cream cheese and lemon. It was everything we dreamed of from a tasty risotto, and more. Though I didn’t try it, their golden risotto sounds incredible. It’s a risotto with saffron, burrata cheese and black truffle cream, and I’m sure it would have been a hit at the table. Our host, Mladen, enticed me to try a popular dessert they serve that hails from his hometown of Split. I’m not known to be a great sweet fan, but this was rather special!Lined with fig pieces - I had forgotten just how much I love figs and definitely need to introduce more into my diet. Qavanna boasts great coffee and even oxygen which you can inhale. The decor is homely and imaginatively designed with cosy circular cabanas, comfy sofas and pretty tables and chairs. This place has the full package alongside a concept that we’ve never seen before in the whole country – a big thumbs up from me, and the FACT team! . ✤
