Podastrana picnic area, Restaurant and agritourism farm in Hrvace, Croatia
Izletište Podastrana is a restaurant and agritourism farm in Hrvace, Croatia, run by the Odžak family. The property includes small buildings made from local materials, surrounded by orchards, gardens, and fields where lambs and pigs are raised.
The Odžak family, who run the farm, have roots in this area going back to 1725. Their surname translates roughly as a house with an open door, a reflection of how they have long welcomed guests onto their land.
A visit works best in the warmer months when outdoor seating is open and the orchards and gardens are at their fullest. The farm is reached through Hrvace, and arriving earlier in the day gives you the best chance of finding a spot outside.
One dish on the menu, Sinj arambaši, is an old form of stuffed cabbage rolls from the Sinj region and is recognized as part of Croatia's intangible cultural heritage. The Odžak family still prepares it using recipes passed down through generations.
