Set in the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Baranja wine cellar – Gator – surrounded by vineyards and the quiet of the Baranja countryside, Josić is far more than a restaurant. It is a place of experience, connection, and storytelling about Slavonia and Baranja, one that guests remember and gladly return to.

It’s official – it doesn’t get better than this! In March 2026, Josić Restaurant & Winery received two major accolades from one of the world’s most renowned gastronomic guides, Gault&Millau, making it the only restaurant in eastern Croatia to hold the prestigious four-toque distinction.

For more than a quarter of a century, Josić has been building a reputation as the place where top-tier gastronomy meets authentic Baranja tradition. Its cuisine is rooted in local ingredients, seasonality, and a modern interpretation of the classics, earning recognition well beyond Croatia’s borders. This consistency in quality, combined with creative innovation in presentation and flavour pairing, has brought numerous awards, including Gault&Millau ratings that place it at the very top of Croatia’s restaurant
scene.

The menu highlights specialties that faithfully reflect the spirit of Baranja – from perfectly prepared fish stew (fiš paprikaš) and pörkölt (perkelt), to dishes made from the meat of the Black Slavonian pig and game, as well as contemporary takes on traditional recipes that even impress guests with the most discerning palates. Their tasting menu paired with carefully selected wines, where each dish is complemented by labels from the famous Josić cellar, is a particularly memorable experience.

Josić is more than just a restaurant. It is also home to a family-run winery and a wine shop where visitors can take a piece of their Baranja experience home. Josić wines have long been synonymous with quality. Graševina, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Frankovka stand out as some of the most acclaimed varieties, each reflecting the character of the Baranja terroir – bold, elegant and distinctive. Their celebrated red blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot) perfectly complements both game dishes and blue fish.

The story of Josić as a modern eno-gastronomic destination was rounded off in early 2026 with the opening of a new, expanded winery. This development brings enhanced production capacities as well as a richer visitor experience, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the winemaking process – from vineyard to glass.
