Heritage

Zagreb


Tapas dishes, Croatian-style. This teensy place, with just one counter and a few bar stools, serves cheese and meat platters using all locally sourced ingredients. Try the flatbreads with prosciutto from Zagora, black-truffle spread and cheese from Ika, or the kulen (spicy paprika-flavoured sausage) with grilled peppers and cream cheese. Service is warm and friendly.
