Baltazar 1982

Baltazar absolutely nailed it—from the first bite to the last sip of wine, this place is the real deal. Tucked just a short stroll from the city center, it somehow feels both upscale and completely unpretentious, like an old friend who just happens to cook like a Michelin-starred chef. We sat in the garden terrace, which was a dream—quiet, leafy, and just far enough removed from the bustle of Zagreb to feel like a little escape. The food? Top-tier. Perfectly grilled steak, fresh seafood, and sides that didn’t feel like afterthoughts (the truffle mashed potatoes deserve their own review, honestly). Service was smooth and professional without ever feeling stiff. Our server knew the menu like the back of their hand and made excellent wine pairings—Croatian wines I’d never heard of, but now definitely won’t forget. Baltazar strikes that rare balance: elegant without being fussy, traditional without being boring. Whether you’re celebrating something or just treating yourself to a solid meal, this place delivers. I walked in curious and walked out planning my next visit.

I’ve came here twice during my stay in Zagreb. And in both times I was amazed by the quality of the dishes. Everything was super tasty and the service is excellent. We had an outdoor table for both times so we enjoyed the weather even more. Nothing negative to say, very lovely place.

Place I've been coming back for years. They followed my, both private and business, events. What is really fascinating is how they manage to reinvent themselves after so many years of successful business. Today, I tried the new menu of great chef Matija Bregeš and it is great. Restaurant always has good fish, but I was in the meat phase today. Beef tartar is definitely to recommend. The flavours, the spices, all nicely mixed. Main was modern view in very traditional "Zagreb" steak. It is all but what you are used to, but for sure, something because of what you will come back. Happy for this restaurant to show such a bravery, and it pays off! Service and personnel were great as always! Also, tried great new wine, malvazija Bastian!!

Baltazar is one of the great old restaurant in Zagreb. It was my birthday and I wanted to check out what high-end yet traditional Zagreb dining is about and I found nothing disappointing. Good food, professional service, pleasant ambiance, decorated in traditional but elegant style. I had grilled fish with the option of choosing the type and size of fish I wanted. It was grilled to perfection. The fish was deboned to fillet right at my dinning table. How cool is that? I had risotto with a traditional potatoes and spinach side. It was Yummy! Dessert was excellent. I had an amazing Birthday dinner. Highly recommended! It is a walking distance from the Cathedral and the central square ❤️❤️❤️

Cover charge of 3 euros. They brought us liver pate with cherry and it was fabulous We had a starter of rabbit ravioli: wonderful balance of salty sweet umami sour with pomegranate seeds, kale pesto and more. Plus good texture mix. 10/10! Mains of fish — 2 different preparations both were cooked well and deboned well. Mild fish, good veg sides. Vibe is cute old Croatian museum/ antiques For more reviews visit nextStageTravel dot com

Great place to eat, mix of traditional atmosphere and Croatian cuisine and new trends, the staff is extremly friendly and attentive, much recommended!great choice of wines as well! Meat and fresh fish, amazing choice!

You definitely have to go to this place, their food is super good and the waiters serve you very well. We didn't have a reservation and they still gave us a table, I felt very good

I booked a private hall for a family celebration. When making the reservation, I specifically requested that parking spaces be reserved for all my guests (4 cars), and I was told that it would not be a problem and that everything would be reserved. On the day of the celebration, when we arrived at the restaurant, we were not allowed to park because there was no space despite the reservation. An extremely rude restaurant employee in charge of parking yelled at us to move our cars, while simultaneously gesturing to other guests who arrived after us to park because there was space for them. The food was mediocre, and the service was a disaster.
