1. Beštija
$$ | Donji Grad |Carnivores, pescatarians, and vegetarians will all find something to delight in at Beštija, which is located in a peaceful courtyard tucked away from the buzzing city center. Enjoy eating outside during the summer or head to the desinger interior, which features furniture procued by a local art dealer and a Picasso remake by academic painter Petra Potočnjak. Remember to leave room for the lavender-sage panna cotta for dessert.
Masarykova 11, Zagreb, Grad Zagreb, 10000, Croatia091-324–0120Known For
- Fresh seafood from Dolac Market
- Modern interior design
- House-made juices and desserts
-
2. Ficlek
$$ | Donji Grad |The latest creation behind the brilliant minds at Pod Zidom, Ficlek is located right between the Zagreb Cathedral and Dolac Market. It is the first resturant in the city to serve only authentic Zagreb fare prepared in traditional ways (think pasta with cabbage, Zagreb-style meat cuts, and soups cooked just like Croatian grandmas make them). The interior design is modern, but also features old-school touches like classic masonry heater tiles. If you grab a seat on the outdoor terrace, you'll be treated to views of the Zagreb Cathedral. Meals change seasonally (and ingredients are procured from nearby Dolac Market), but you won't go wrong with whatever you order. All the better if you're in town while the to-die-for chestnut dumplings swimming in a chocolate dip are on the menu.
Pod Zidom 5, Zagreb, Grad Zagreb, Croatia099-495–8909Known For
- Traditional and delicious food
- Views of the city center
- Seasonal chestnut dumplings

3. 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.
Taborgradska 35, Desinic, Krapinsko-Zagorska, 49216, Croatia049-343–001Known For
- Typical Zagorje dishes
- Regional štrukli
- Great views onto Veliki Tabor fortress

4. 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.
Rastovača bb, Plitvicka Jezera, Licko-Senjska, 53231, Croatia053-751–023Known For
- Proximity to national park
- Sausages, veal, and other hearty fare

5. Međimurski Dvori
$$ | |Located in the heart of Međimurje County, in the picturesque town of Lopatinec, only 6 km (4 miles) away from Čakovec, Međimurski dvori is known across the region for its unique ambience, top gastronomic offerings, and friendly and professional staff. A seat anywhere near the beautiful wooden fireplace makes for an extra-special experience; you'll feel like you're in an upscale but extremely cozy Međimurje cabin. The warm, brick-and-wood interior features traditional decor in warm tones, in harmony with the fairytale nature that surrounds the restaurant. Don't leave without trying the specialty of Međimurje, Međimurska gibanica: a three-layer cake of cheese, apple, and poppy-seed fillings.
Vladimira Nazora 22, 40311, Croatia040-856–333Known For
- Beautiful decor
- Traditional and locally procured food
- Idyllic countryside location

6. 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.

7. Boban
$$ | Donji Grad |Just down the street from the Hotel Dubrovnik, Boban not only serves food at its street-level bar and dining room but also in its restaurant in the large vaulted cellar space below (with several tables outside for dining, chilling with a glass of Croatian wine, and people-watching). Specializing in pasta dishes, it is extremely popular with locals, so be prepared to line up for a table, since reservations are not accepted. The owner, Zvonimir Boban, was captain of the Croatian national football team during the 1998 World Cup.

$$ | Gornji Grad |This restaurant is the love child of married dynamic duo Ana, from Slavonia, and Pasquale, from Italy.

The pet-friendly spot has a rustic-style interior, and is tucked away above the cuty hubbub in the foothills of Mount Medvednica.

9. 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.

10. 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.

$$ | Donji Grad |The menu of this utterly chic restaurant offers everything from sushi (both traditional Japanese rolls and American-style varieties) and teriyaki to wok dishes and specialties such as carrot and tofu soup or sea bass in jalapeño-wasabi sauce. Manned by head chefs Moto Mochizuki and Nenad Stošić, Takenoko gives meaning to the word fusion, merging Asian and European cuisine. Black chairs, black place mats, and cherry-toned wood floors set the scene in one of the glittery, glass-walled spaces in this Lower Town hotspot. The drinks menu—including sake, of course—is extensive.

A spacious terrace overlooks the area's sweeping vineyards, and on a breezy day you'll hear the clackety-clack of the windmill just outside.
