Varaždin County area has a rich gastronomic heritage and tradition, which represent the identity of this region.

Autochthonous and traditional dishes are part of tourist offer.
Throughout history, this part of Croatia was under great influence of Austria, Hungary and Turkey.

The
influence has left marks in political and social life, including
cuisine. Mainland cuisine is therefore today very diverse and
heterogonous.

Varaždin County has always been known as a popular hunting area. This is why there are many dishes made with the game.
