August 14, 2019 Roseanne Arnett

Discover Restaurants offering the best European food in Zagreb, Central Croatia, Croatia. Zagreb got its start as two medieval fortress towns atop hills overlooking the Sava River, and was reborn in the Baroque period as center of business, perfectly located on routes connecting Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea. These days, Zagreb is the heart of contemporary Croatia’s culture, art, sports, and academics, but its history is not forgotten. The unique blend of medieval towers, 19th century palaces, open-air markets, and ancient cathedrals, make Zagreb the perfect city to explore.

After one of party had been here before, we decided to eat here- this was the only reason we persevered after being ignored by the staff for at least 5 minutes. In the end we went inside and had to ask if it was okay to sit down. The service after that was disappointing. However, the food was very good value for money and the burgers were amazing! Shame the service let this place down.Hi Tea, thank you for your comment. Can you please let us know in which restaurant you were? In Radnička or Bogovićeva street (in Zagreb centre)?Thank you.

This restaurant has a nice relaxed atmosphere with inside and outside dining options. The menu is extremely varied and has most bases covered. The drinks menu is just as broad. We enjoyed the two soups and the pasta and Seltan Cordon Bleu and the chocolate dessert. The only negative was the coffee which was the best I had tasted in Zagreb was luke warm.

Batak Grill Cvjetni

Reviewed By justinveenstra

Ok - it was Friday early evening (7pm) and we did manage to get the last seats without reservation (just in front of kitchen door and in between bar and main dining room). Started of with a mushroom soup - not bad, just little flavor. Main course: wife had a salad with which she was not impressed, especially with the salty cheese - but also im general. I had the stuffed pork loin. Was nice, not great. Waiter was friendly and wine by glass good. Could return but expect there must be better out in zagreb so not convinced on the need to reserve which seems to be the norm (quite a few left restaurant without dinner due to lack of space).

We had a gorgeous meal here on our last night in Zagreb. From the moment we arrived our waiter was very attentive, without being overbearing. He paid such good attention to my need to eat gluten free, including clarifying in one situation when there was a very small cross contamination risk. The gluten free beer was not available but he recommended the most delicious Croatian white wine instead. After ordering we were bought homemade crackers and herby cheese to enjoy (gf crackers were also provided). To start we had the burratina panna cotta and mushroom soup. Our mains were monkfish and Wiener schnitzel. Puddings were a mango and white choc and the lemon tart (deconstructed). All food was beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed by us both. Highly recommend, and if you need gluten free it’s a great place to come.

Enjoyed a delicious meal: French onion soup au gratin and a lentil- carrot soup (smoothed to perfection with a sprinkling of pink peppercorns), beef bourguignon accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes, and a spinach quiche with a flavourfully-dressed lettuce & tomato salad. Two glasses of a Croatian wine imbibed by hubby. Check it out!Merci beaucoup ‍

Dubravkin Put

Reviewed By Daveozz

A good fine dining experience in Zagreb. The atmosphere, decoration, service level etc. were spotless. However, for that insane price level (spent about 800 hrk for two people, no desserts), I expected to be just a bit more excited with the food. My black risotto and the creamy potatoes were too salty, the house wine wasn't particularly good in my taste, and I don't get why they charge an extra 25 hrk per person for "table preparation". Anyway, if you are looking for a very fancy chef's restaurant, this is probably the place for you.

Bestija

Fiery & creative takes on Croatian cuisine in a casual bistro. Lunch, dinner. Location: Masarykova 11, in the backyard.

Reviewed By strangersblog

Tucked into a residential alley, Bestija is hard to find but worth it. Charming little place with some beautiful plates coming out of the tiny kitchen. Join the hip young locals for seasonal fresh dishes like sausage stuffed pepper. My grilled Adriatic fish was seriously undercooked, as in raw, but when I asked the waiter he said it was intentional. Celery soup with pumpkin oil was tasty but should be served with some crunchy bread. Would be 5 stars with just a little more attention to taste as well as the presentation and attitude. Croatian wine and local craft beer pair well with the creative cooking and atmosphere.
