It’s always been a problem hasn’t it? Pizza is great – delicious, dependable, filling and cheap – but it’s so common that taking out that hopefully special someone to eat it leaves less of an impression than might be desired. You don’t want to earn yourself a rep [...]

Locals flock to it in hordes as do international dudes. The reason? Its location in the centre of the centre and an ambiance of unadulterated fun. Your meal is nothing to write home about, yet somehow satisfying. [...]

The inside/outside seating opportunity is quite nice and the light meal options the same. Directly across from the cathedral, you'll wonder if it's possible to rent one of the spires for your home or office (no, you can't). [...]

A lively, modern new restaurant in the new business centre just south of Zvonimirova. The menu offers Croatian and Mediterranean specialities, but is certainly not run-of-the-mill – it changes every day, so, for example, on Fridays you can feast especially well on fish dishes. A large wine list, efficient service and congenial atmosphere complete the picture: it’s a great (and inexpensive) choice for any occasion – they can cater for up to 120 people. [...]

There are benefits to being owned by a microbrewery - diners at the newly opened Din Don on Savska . A great, cheery pizzeria with some of the best vegetarian and health food options in town, and a huge salad bar. Vitamin-rich! [...]

Strategically stationed between the hills of Sljeme and Zagreb is Kaskada – like an emergency rescue team waiting to revive you with whatever is turning on its giant spit, not to mention numerous drops of wine on your parched lips. [...]

Lodged in the front of the Hotel Dubrovnik, this high-quality house of Italian cuisine offers one of the best views of Trg Jelačića it is possible to grab whilst stuffing your face. Innumerable pasta dishes are rivalled by a small selection of meat and fish and an even smaller wine list. Then again, quality is often the victor when quantity is put to the sword – and here you are paying for quality despite that relaxed and informal setting.
