Fodor's Expert Review Stari Fijaker

$ Donji grad (Lower Town) Eastern European

This old-fashioned restaurant with vaulted ceilings, wood-paneled walls, and crisp white table linens was the first one in Croatia to earn the certificate of Croatian Authentic Cuisine. The menu features carefully presented traditional Croatian dishes not easy to find at other restaurants—especially those native to the Zagreb region—such as Zagorska juha (Zagorje-style potato soup with ham and mushrooms), pečena teletina (roast veal), and punjene paprike (stuffed peppers). This is a place beloved by locals and tourists alike, so recommendations are recommended. The restaurant is just off Ilica, a five-minute walk from the main square on a cobblestone side street.
