Remarkable Restaurant

Zagreb's Teslina Street has been one of the most important gastronomic arteries of the city for decades, and in the hidden atrium of the Zagreb Youth Theater is located TheAtrium by Filho - a place where gastronomy and theater meet in a way that is not just an effective scenography. Conceived as a stage, with a glazed kitchen in the center of the event, it is a space of intense creative energy in which chef Filip Horvat applies haute cuisine techniques in a more accessible format of bistronomy. Here, food is experienced through seasonal acts that accompany local ingredients. The menu changes in the rhythm of nature. Spring brings risotto with wild asparagus, bear's garlic and Kvarner shrimps and young pea soup with mint and dill. Summer plates are full of Mediterranean flavors in fritto misto with lemon gel and light burrata with summer tomatoes, while colder days are warmed by the hearty flavors of slow-cooked beef cheeks and grilled squid with white bean cream and thick fish jus. Like any theater, this one has its own classics. Beef Wellington and crispy veal Wiener Schnitzel, along with steak risotto with sun-dried tomatoes, do not leave the repertoire. For an encore in all seasons, there is tiramisù. The wine list is one of the most serious in the city, and professional service certainly rules the space where Filip Horvat turns familiar flavors into his own, contemporary repertoire.
