This is the best štrukli you will ever have in your life—in fact, it was so delicious that I got it twice in one sitting. The truffle one is the most popular savory option and the blueberry one is the most popular sweet option. I also had a yogurt drink which paired very well with this traditional classic Croatian dish. The vibes here were cozy (inside seating) and perfect for solo travelers who need some comfort food on a cold/rainy day or after an emotional visit to the Museum of Broken Relationships. If you’re not going alone though, then definitely make a reservation!

We ate two times at La Štruk and we loved both of them! The service is very friendly, polite and professional! The dry white wine is exceptional and not so dry. We had the salty cheese The truffle paste and the roasted paper,which was a little bit spicy. And of course they are pet friendly inside and outside !

Unexpected, more than satisfying experience overall. It did start with a deer carpaccio that was excellent, only burdened with too many add-ons. Shame, because when all of the extras were removed, the meat itself was blissful. However, lamb in Parmesan cheese and with spinach puree was just right. Winevise, if you order by the glass, you can expect a good pour and fresh wine. Also, instead as an aperitif, house made Botanist liquer proved itself even better as a digestive. Cheers!

It was my first time trying out a Croatian restaurant and did not disappoint. Ambience was nostalgic with memorabilia showing day to day items across the decades. I even saw a sewing machine that I remembered from my childhood. My companions and I tried several dishes with the meat platter (can't remember what's it called) being the best. Protein overload. We were also served their craft beer and quite sweet. Definitely a place I will try again.

We had valentines day here. Been craving dumplings for ages and this restaurant offers unlimited dumplings on Mondays. The ambiance was amazing, food was top notch, service and staff are top tier! My experience made it really good because we had a wonderful waitress named Kristine! She was very hospitable and took care of us. I cant say any negative thing about this place.

Do you want a great meal, at truly fine restaurant? It would be a great choice to eat here. We ordered the "grill" from our waiter Dimitre (spell?), he was so right for the job. Our salads were super fresh, the grill featured different local meats and roast potatoes. It was both delicious and healthy, and big portions; it was delightful. This was more than just a meal, it was a true taste of Croatia's history, delicacies and tastes. All served in perfect timing by Dimitre.

One of the best places in Zagreb to eat grilled meat! Restaurant is placed in the basement so no windows, but apart from red table cloths that’s the only thing that might bother someone. In the evening they often have live music and place is packes. Male sure you book a table in advance as it is rather popular. Food is really good and so is the service. There is parking around the restaurant but you have to pay per hour most of the times.

The food is phenomenal, no doubt about it. The portions are sizeable to say the least, but still at a reasonable price. This is a place where you can find quality meals that are absolutely delicious! One thing that bothered us was the fact that it was quite hot on the terrace. We were assigned a table there, and we didn't expect it to be so hot in the semi enclosed terrace (we were told the AC was broken). Service was also not outstanding, but still up to par.

Great lunch bentos 🍱, food was delicious! Wine could be more affordable - spending on it shouldn’t be much more than the food. Desert was average, but the taste and quality of food pays it off.

This restaurant has been repeatedly awarded a Michelin star year after year — and it truly deserves it. Its reputation in Zagreb is well-earned and widely recognized. Upon arrival, we were greeted with smiles, and the atmosphere is somewhat dark and mysterious, adding to the experience. Once the food arrived, it was immediately clear that this is top-tier Japanese cuisine, with flavors that perfectly matched the impeccable presentation. My favorite dish was the pork belly bun, and I will definitely return multiple times. The only minor critique is the music, which currently plays pop from the radio rather than matching the Japanese theme — I hope this is adjusted before my next visit.

Good location, traditional style interior with enough place inside and not overcrowded, it has own parking which is big plus. I tried pljeskavica and homemade beer, dark one, I can't remember name. Everything was delicious, beer was excellent and tasted really good. Staff and service was quick and professional, no complaints at all. Only downside is price, everything is quite expensive and food portions were quite small. I will give 4 stars.

We were driving from Brussels to Athens and did a stopover in Zagreb for the night. As we were walking we came across the restaurant sign and decided to check it out. It’s deep at the end of an alleyway don’t miss it. Nice atmosphere and two sisters were performing with a guitar English and local songs. Ordered and what a positive surprise. The food was fresh, tasty and overall well prepared and presented but the highlight was the music. The sisters killed it at ABBA, Simon & Garfunkel and other 70-00s songs. It was great food with delightful music. Make sure you go when the girls are there. Loved them.

Lovely Spot for a Refreshing Break in Zagreb! Arrived in Zagreb today on a very hot day, and the first thing we wanted was some refreshment—so we stopped at this beautiful establishment. I ordered a Gin and Tonic. They didn’t have my favorite gin, but the staff recommended a great substitute, and I was not disappointed. The drink was served in an amazing glass, which added a nice touch. Our table was a bit wobbly at first, but the waitress immediately offered to fix it—and she did, with a smile. Great service! My kids also had their drinks and brought sushi with them, which the staff kindly allowed. That kind of flexibility is rare and definitely worth mentioning. We had a great experience overall and will definitely be coming back!

Overall a great place with a great menu, tasty food, decent service, and a great atmosphere. Very well shaded outdoor section and stylish interior. Food was good, but the Soba noodles with duck, while very tasty, was a bit too salty. They should significantly reduce the sodium content, perhaps by cutting the amount of soy sauce they use by 75% and allow the customer to add soy sauce as they like, since it is already on the table. It was very salty, but still good. The chicken salad was very good. The chicken spring rolls were much more like chicken croquettes with minced meat and breadcrumbs, not with the usual crispy / crunchy spring roll dough you might find at a more traditional Asian restaurant. They tasted ok, but they really aren’t “spring rolls”. I would suggest renaming this dish as “Asian chicken croquettes”. The crispy tuna roll was good, but rather small (4 pieces) and also not very crispy. The atmosphere and music was really great and our waiter was kind. A bit expensive compared with other nearby restaurants, but overall a nice experience. I would definitely go back, but I would order differently.

Wonderful Late-Night Dinner in Zagreb I had a late dinner at this restaurant shortly after arriving in Zagreb. Located on the top floor of a hotel, the atmosphere was chic. The meals were not only delicious but beautifully presented, and the service was absolutely top-notch. A perfect way to end a long day of travel.

Super tasty food and really friendly staff. The portions are generous, so prepare yourself! The setting is lovely, with grapes hanging from the vines above the terrace and little birds eating the breadcrumbs. The two staff members we spoke with were so nice and helpful, and both spoke good English, which helped with our nonexistent Croatian.

I have been visiting this restaurant for a long time and the food and service are always of top quality. Extremely friendly stuff. In my personal opinion, this is the best price-quality ratio you can get in the city. The quality of the meat is extraordinary, always fresh and tender. Today I was convinced that the tuna itself is the best I have ever tasted, so juicy and delicious. I think you can't go wrong with any dish from their menu at this place and always if the staff offers you what they currently have on the menu, accept it because it is always recommendations for the best option on that day 🙂

We chose Rustica to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends. None of the 20 of us had any complaints, not one! Very satisfied with the organization, service and food, even the coffee is fantastic! Mrs. Jasmina was our perfect hostess, polite, patient and extremely nice. Really, regardless of whether you are going to lunch with your partner, to a business meeting or you want to celebrate a special day - Rustica is an excellent choice because the manager Davor is also extremely accommodating. And I will definitely be back there to try something else on the menu very soon. You do the same!

Overall, we really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the Spanish-speaking blond waitress was very welcoming and attentive. We had chicken, squid, mushrooms and grilled vegetables, all very good. I like the chicken dish best, with cheese 🧀 and bacon 🥓 in the middle. There are singers on Friday nights, and the atmosphere is great. The only downside was that the male waiter who served us at the beginning was very rude and slow. We ordered a glass of wine but it didn't come for half an hour, which was very European.
