Chef's Restaurant

Okrugljak is one of those Zagreb restaurants whose name carries the weight of tradition. Located in the greenery of Mlinovo, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it has been gathering the people of Zagreb and their guests for family lunches, celebrations and business meetings for many years. The rustic interior, wooden houses, terrace by the stream and homely atmosphere create an atmosphere that many people come here even when they have no special reason to celebrate. The menu is dominated by dishes of Croatian continental cuisine: duck with mlinci, lamb and veal on the spit, steaks, game, homemade soups, štrukli and other traditional dishes. The restaurant cherishes Zagreb's and Croatian gastronomic heritage, and the offer is regularly supplemented with seasonal dishes. We tasted veal medallions in mushroom, prosciutto and sage sauce with homemade croquettes and a meat platter Croatian platter. The veal medallions were soft, the sauce rich and aromatic, while the homemade croquettes were nicely crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Croatian platter brings a selection of quality meat, prepared school-like on the grill, with the addition of potato shelves and vegetables. Of the several desserts offered, we chose apricot strudel, a dessert that smells of summer. It was served freshly baked, with a lot of fruit filling and thin dough. The attractive ambience, indoor and outdoor, the stream and the children's park behind the restaurant are the added value of Okrugljak. However, it is one of the more expensive restaurants in Zagreb, so some may expect a higher level of gastronomic experience. Still, it is worth a visit because of its centuries-old tradition, location and unique atmosphere.
