Where to eat
Croatian eating and drinking establishments are required by law to incorporate a no-smoking section into their interior. The familiar red diagonal slash signal is seen everywhere but is rarely a reflection of smoking enforcement: rows of ashtrays are often generously displayed on tables just below these signs. We've marked those that do not allow any smoking on the premises at all.
Service in Zagreb is typically European, meaning very relaxed and non-intrusive. If you are in a hurry, you are best to discretely attract the attention of your server and state, "Račun, molim" when you are prepared to leave. In those seemingly hopeless cases (they will present themselves) simply walk to the front desk and pay your bill.
Perhaps some kind of statement about the culture, restaurants bend over backwards to direct you to their complaint book. It is often displayed with the same high visibility that a work of fine art might be, and certificates are often framed above it to facilitate your negative commentary. Your waiter is likely to state, 'You did not like your meal' if you leave even a morsel on your plate at the end of a massive meal. Becoming a member of the illustrious Clean Your Plate Club can also produce mixed emotions in many a service staff, they then wondering if the portion they fed you was inadequate.
