CHEFlja is a neighborhood restaurant in Jankomir, in the western part of Zagreb. At the very exit from the city, towards the highway that leads to Slovenia and Austria, there is a center of large shopping centers and other office buildings, so the guests of CHEFlja are mostly people who work here. They come primarily for good lunches at reasonable prices. The space is modern and tidy, and the working hours from 7 am to 7 pm are adapted to the clientele. However, CHEFlja is large enough - 120 seats inside and on the terrace - that, by agreement, you can organize family celebrations and other receptions here, and you can also order catering. Chef Vladimir Šajnović regularly changes the menu that follows the seasonal offer. He tries to avoid conventional dishes and side dishes, so in the latest map you can find tuna tartare with marinated vegetables, at a great price of 12 euros. Meat dishes are more expensive, such as steak in green pepper with potato fritters and veal chop in mustard sauce with zucchini pancakes. For those who prefer a classic lunch, there are always stews, with a choice of several meat and fish dishes. Their traditional dishes are good, such as grilled sausage with grated potatoes and stewed cabbage. If you find yourself in that part of the city, be sure to visit them. You will get quality dishes at an affordable price, much better than those in nearby fast food restaurants.
