"In the heart of Zagreb, this refined room channels the seasons through playfully named tasting menus—Spring Blossom might feature a delicately fried artichoke with fresh almond flakes and artichoke cream, Pain a Rollin’ away spans crispy mushrooms with goat’s cheese yoghurt, štrukli, a “dig your own truffle” moment, white tea and Kombucha mandarin, poultry and a sweet‑chestnut doughnut, and duck with cinnamon, while Find a deeper sense opens with a “forest drink” of mushroom consommé, Gaba tea and hazelnut oil before mushroom tart, pumpkin terrine with quince, onion and juniper, and barbecued sunchokes with leek and black pepper consommé; the extensive wine list roams Croatia, Slovenia, France and Italy, and there’s even an excellent local artisanal beer to discover." - Annalisa Leopolda Cavaleri
