The tasting menu changes four times a year based on the seasons: in winter the undisputed protagonists are mushrooms and truffles together with winged game, while in springtime they are early vegetables. Dinner is a sensational journey among classic creations made with special care and other more modern creations with an original flavor, as well as several varieties of bread baked in an adjacent bakery. The wine list is outstanding: the different regions of Italy are well represented, without however neglecting Europe and America. Considering the great attention paid to tea (from Chine, Japan

Situated in the oldest, most visited part of Zagreb, this quiet, well-run restaurant welcomes guests with an entire wall covered with plants and flowers that symbolise the Medvednica, the mountain chain to the north of the capital that inspires the cuisine served here. With a focus on local, mostly organic ingredients, dishes are colourful and creative, aiming to awaken the senses by introducing a range of different flavours (sweet, acidic, bitter etc).

A modern-style bistro with a wine bar and small attractive outdoor space in the city centre, just behind the main square with fine views of the cathedral.

You ring the doorbell to gain access to this restaurant, where just five tables and an open-view kitchen create an intimate and welcoming ambience that deliberately gives the impression of dining in chef Tvrtko Šakota’s own home. The seasonal ingredients in the dishes here are sourced from the restaurant’s own farm, situated 40km from Zagreb. The chef chooses the dishes and Croatian wines served on his surprise tasting menu, where the focus is on small-scale producers who farm in accordance with traditional biodynamic methods. The cuisine takes guests on a creative and personalised journey thr

A new location not far from the previous one, still in the city centre. The venue is cosy and contemporary, with a simple style; at the back is the classic counter with stools. The cuisine remains unchanged: Japanese, between classical references and modern interpretations, with a predilection for Nikkei cuisine, which blends Japanese and Peruvian flavours. The bar offers original cocktails and signature drinks.

Seafood, Mediterranean Cuisine

€€€

Located in the city center, yet in a quiet spot within a courtyard, this elegant and welcoming family-run restaurant offers a seafood cuisine with Mediterranean flavors and a distinctly Italian touch. All the pasta is homemade, and the advice is to save some room for the delicious desserts. The wine list features numerous interesting labels from across Europe.
