Croatian restaurants in Zagreb
Croatian cuisine is very often a complex mix of continental and coastal delicacies. Italian, Turkish and Hungarian accents often sneak themselves into the mix also... and these are only to name a few. Restaurants listed here are most indicative of continental Croatia, which is to say they're heavy on game dishes and simple vegetable accompaniment. Some useful terms: čevapčići (spiced meat patties), divlja guska (wild goose), divlja patka (wild duck), fazan (pheasant), govedina (beef), janjetina (lamb), jelen (deer), kobasice (sausages), lungić (pork fillet), miješano meso (mixed grill of meats), patka (duck), pljeskavica (hamburger), pršut (ham), srnetina (venison), veprovina (wild boar), zečetina (rabbit).
