Chef's Restaurant

A small, modern restaurant in the centre of Osijek stands out prominently on the local gastronomic scene. Its concept was created by chef Marko Alilović, who returned with international experience and based his cuisine on a fusion of Asian techniques and local ingredients. The space exudes contemporary minimalism and an intimate atmosphere, and due to the limited number of tables, reservations are recommended. The menu changes frequently, following seasonal availability of ingredients and chef’s desire for experiments. Particularly noteworthy is the Tonkotsu ramen – an aromatic dish with pieces of pork belly, fresh vegetables, and a perfectly cooked egg. Equally attractive is the Tuna poke, a vibrant combination of marinated tuna, avocado, edamame, mango, and pickled daikon, with well-balanced textures and flavours. We highly recommend the Buddha bowl, Lulu meatballs, and tonkatsu pork tenderloin. The wine list is carefully curated to complement the flavours of the food, and the staff are happy to assist. Prices are commensurate with the quality, making Lulu an excellent choice for lovers of flavour fusion. With its seasonal dishes and the distinctive style of chef Alilović, this bistro confirms its status as a desirable gastronomic destination.
