"After two long pandemic years in which we were denied such gatherings and events, I am extremely happy that visitors had the opportunity to enjoy this event, a combination of excellent gastronomy and presentation of the tourist offer of Dubrovnik," said the director of the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, Ana Hrnić.

I am extremely happy that the cooperation has taken place because they always open new horizons and give us, professional chefs, an incentive for further work,” said chef Igor Jagodic.

"It was a great honour for me to present restaurant 360 in Ljubljana and cook with my colleague Igor Jagodic. This is the first presentation of our house on the Slovenian market and I thank the Dubrovnik Tourist Board for the invitation and organization,” concluded chef Marijo Curić.
