Rab's food draws on Dalmatian and Italian traditions — grilled fish, risotto, pasta, gnocchi, and fresh salads dominate the menus. Local specialities worth seeking out include octopus and squid salads, fish stew with polenta, the sweet-sour fish dish called šaur, and fritters. Lamb from the island's own flocks is excellent. For dessert, try rapska torta, a traditional almond-and-maraschino pastry unique to the island.
