The Best Restaurants In Zagreb, According To Local Tastemaker Domagoj ‘Ribafish’ Jakopović
What was once the family home of esteemed Croatian novelist August Šenoa (1838-81) is now, according to Domagoj, the best place to go for Zagrebian specialities. At the nearby Dolac Market (10 minutes away on foot), O’Brok’s renowned chef Krunoslav Majcen handpicks fresh ingredients each day at dawn. Domagoj says the restaurant’s “guests always come back for more jela na žlicu (spoon meals: this Croatian expression refers to various soups and stews) just like their grandmas used to make, sausages, krvavice sa zeljem (blood pudding with cabbage), knedle (Croatian dumplings) and especially for Majcen’s štrukli (cheese-filled dough), among the best in the region.
The best budget restaurants and cheap eats in Zagreb | Zagreb restaurants
At its simplest, the Croatian word obrok means “meal”, although it also comes with the connotation of something rather basic or straightforward, like army rations or school dinners. It’s a neatly ironic introduction to what this small and intimate restaurant actually does, serving up quality food that suits the quick-luncher as well as those with time for several courses. The aim is to give Croatian cuisine a bit of contemporary style, but without losing sight of what’s traditional about it.
Where to Eat in Zagreb
Opened five years ago, this restaurant became quite popular among locals. All meals are carefully prepared from the beginning regardless are we talking about homemade štrukli, pasta, or bread. Besides the great food, the ambiance is very nice and the staff is super friendly.
