1. Grešna Gorica
$$ | |Visiting this rustic tavern is like stepping into a friend's home, although your friend's home is unlikely to have a stuffed fawn and a pair of kuna (a large, weasel-like creature), the national currency's namesake, on the wall. All produce used here is supplied by local farmers, and the menu features typical Zagorje dishes, including zagorski štrukli (baked pastry filled with cheese) and pura s mlincima (turkey with savory pastries). The use of kuna dates back from when the fur of this large, weasel-like creature was in fact a currency. The garden affords sublime views down onto Veliki Tabor fortress.

2. Lička Kuća
$$ | |With unadorned log walls, wood-beam ceilings, white-curtained windows, lively Croatian folk music playing, and an open kitchen with an open hearth, this is exactly what a restaurant in a great national park should be. Fill up on hearty lička juha (a creamy soup of lamb, vegetables, and eggs), followed by boiled lamb with vegetables, suckling pig, or a "Lika Bundle" (renowned Lika lamb and potatoes— known as the best in Croatia—served with locally made plum rakija and veggies). Meat and poultry are the focus here; grilled trout is usually the only fish on the menu. Finish off with an apple (or cheese) strudel. The place is buzzing with tourists, but it's one of the only decent restaurants for miles around.

3. Pod Zidom
$$$ | |Wedged between the cathedral and the Dolac farmer's market, jazzy bistro Pod Zidom offers a creative take on traditional Croatian dishes, making the most of fresh ingredients at its doorstep. The chef is renowned for his beef cheek, served up with a different sauce depending on the season and cooked for 12 hours before making it to your plate. Wash it down with a bottle from the impressive array of Croatian wines (from all four wine regions) available. Pod Zidom serves from its own wine label too. Keeping it close to traditional values, the emphasis is on meat and fish dishes but varies according to what is in season and available. Everything is homemade here, from the bread to any sort of pickled goods. You can sleep onsite at the ultra-exclusive Pod Zidom Rooms mini-hotel, which features just four rooms (all of which feature designer decor and views of the Zagreb Cathedral inner courtyard) above the restaurants.
Pod Zidom 5, Zagrebacka, Croatia099-325–3600Known For

4. Vinodol
$$ | Donji Grad |A few blocks southwest of the main square, Vinodol is an elegant spot both locals and tourists flock to when they hanker for traditional meaty fare such as veal and lamb, pork with plum sauce, or, for starters, zagorska juha (Zagorje-style potato soup with ham and mushrooms). Enjoy all this in a spacious, shaded courtyard or inside under brick-vaulted ceilings and amid low lighting that contrives to give you an elegant, wine-cellar sensation even though you're not in a cellar at all.

- Meat-heavy dishes
- Large semi-outdoor garden

5. Pivnica Medvedgrad
$$ | Donji Grad |Best known for its excellent beers brewed on the premises, all of the four Pivnica Medvedgrad locations serve up generous portions of roast meats, goulash, and beans and sausage, accompanied by a range of salads. The Ilica location and its the cavernous beer hall—replete with long wooden tables, high leather-backed chairs, and wood-beamed ceilings—is about a 10-minute walk west from the main square. It’s very popular and gets busy, but there are always enough tables to go around. Little Medo, on Tkalčićeva, has a somewhat smaller interior but a vast patio that expands across the street. Don't miss out on the craft beers on the menu—a classic is Grička vještica, named for the legendary Zagreb witch of Grič. Live music nights and events happen here often.

6. Pri Staroj Vuri
$$ | |Small yet ever so cozy, its walls decorated with old clocks and paintings by noted Croatian artists, this lovely old villa a few minutes' walk from the main square is the best place in town to try such meaty fare as teleća koljenica (knuckle of veal) and češnjovke (smoked sausage cooked in sour cabbage with potatoes). The latter is sometimes available only late in the year, after kolinje (the annual sausage-making period), when the hogs are butchered and the sausage smoked. Round off with a glass of bermet, served with lemon and ice.

The wine list is excellent, and the interior design is marked by trophies, hunting weapons, old paintings, and big chandeliers.
