    Yes you can eat well in Zadar but who knew you could eat so much? On 22 November, you can pig out on a giant apple strudel cooked up by  Renato Kraljev, chef of Kornat, one of Zadar’s best restaurants. This 900-metre-long pastry will stretch the length of central Kalelarga street from St Simeon’s Church to the Church of Our Lady of Health. With one thousand kilograms of apples and 300 kilograms of strudel pastry, there should be enough for even the most avid appetites. Local groups will provide a musical accompaniment to the strudel-fest.
