Excellent restaurant. The food was superb, and beautifully presented. There was a good drinks selection, I was particularly keen on the locally brewed beer. Service was fast and friendly.
Seasonal food, prepared with twist. Chef Ana Ugarković is well known at the Croatian food scene for years now. She deserves this position!
Ana uses fresh, in season, and local ingredients, but it’s not local cusine :) She cooks similar to Ottolenghi, and it’s amazing and unique for Zagreb! You need to reserve a table in advance
