📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Rožata is a traditional Dubrovnik dessert, a custard pudding similar to French crème caramel. Its name comes from rozalin, a liqueur made from rose petals used to scent it. Handed down since the days of the Republic of Ragusa, it's a refined, gently sweet treat.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a restaurant inside Dubrovnik's city walls, rožata glistening with caramel arrives against the backdrop of the Adriatic sunset.
