Such a hidden gem. Recommended by our driver. It was good. Only a few staff working and serving time slightly long but it was still acceptable. Food was delicious and ambient was unique. Our table was in outdoor with sunshine but not too hot. We ordered asparagus soup, chicken stay, tuna pasta and salad. Everything was tasty especially the tuna pasta.

The menu change everyday and the price is the greatest price in the city. Best Restarant in Zagreb for long holiday

Cozy place, delicious meals, fair prices, nice employees. They're so well organized that food arrives very fast to your table, which is so rare today. Excellent place for fast lunch. No loud music, no loud noisses, no smoke... just tasty food and you.

Fantastic little restaurant/bistro. We stopped in for lunch on our trip and it was fantastic. Everyone was very happy with the food, including one of us who needs gluten free food. Staff are all lovely- highly recommend.

Friendly staff, cute and peaceful location. Usually visited on Friday, because of the fresh and well prepared fish. Highly recommend it!

It's a cosy place to have a non-formal lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is casual and waiter more then friendly! The food served here is the kind your mom would prepare for you. Portions are big so make sure you come hungry!

I've been eating lunch here for a while. I'm happy with both meat and vegetarian options, everything I had here I was at least fine with, and sometimes I'm swept of my feet, like today's beetroot risotto with goat cheese and tofu, or yesterday with roasted pork knuckle. Highly recommended.
