Zdravka Grgić

Chef Zdravka Grgić took over the kitchen of the Deveron Gastro Pub two years ago. In charge of leading the team and creating the menu, the chef has given this famous Mali Lošinj restaurant a Mediterranean touch from the very beginning.  Her risottos, buzara (sort of local bouilleabaisse) and pašticada (braised beef) immediately won over lovers of good food. The chef has a long career in the hospitality industry.

She arrived in Mali Lošinj from her native Zavidovići back in 1981 and got a job as a trader at Jadranka, where she spent more than twenty years. However, during all that time, she worked every evening in numerous Mali Lošinj restaurants as a grill master. Her love of cooking prevailed, and in 2004 she started working as a chef de cuisine at the restaurant Orhideja. A few years later she moved to the famous Artatore restaurant, where she spent 14 years as a sous chef, alongside the famous chef Janja Zabavnik.

Chef Grgić discovered her passion for cooking as a kid. She says she first picked up a wooden cooking spoon at the age of seven. Even today, she is happy when she can cook for others. In addition to her great experience and the delicious flavours and aromas, in each of her dishes you can feel the emotions she invests in its preparation.
