"An intimate, informal, all‑day bistro that has become one of Zagreb’s most popular restaurants, this spot serves classic French bistro fare—soups, salads, steaks and breaded cutlets—alongside the house specialty Esplanade Štrukli, served here since 1951, and composed plates such as John Dory fillet in a black‑garlic crust with potato mousse, chard gel and fishbone demi‑glace; veal cheek with roasted artichokes, seared aubergine cream, herbs and wine; and smoked beef steak with confit potatoes, shallots, carrots and nasturtium oil." - Annalisa Leopolda Cavaleri
