From today, Croatia has seven Michelin-starred restaurants. Details of this year's gradings have just been released and two new restaurants have joined the existing five in Croatia that were already on the list.
The two new restaurants to receive the designation are LD Terrace in Korčula (main image) and Boškinac in Novalja on the island of Pag. They join Noel in Zagreb, Draga di Lovrana in Lovran, Monte in Rovinj, Pelegrini in Šibenik and 360 in Dubrovnik, which all maintained their standards in order to keep their Michelin stars.

Michelin's restaurant guides have been published for more than 100 years and Michelin stars are widely regarded as the most prestigious awards a restaurant can receive, requiring restaurants to meet strict criteria when reviewed anonymously by the guides' compilers. Reviewers secretly return to each Michelin-starred restaurant every year in order to judge if an awarded restaurant may keep its grading. 
Boškinac is also a boutique hotel and has its own vineyards and wine
