On Europski Trg, one of the busiest places in Zagreb, in the lee of Ban Centar, is the bistro Nico’s. On one side of the spacious green terrace is their small bar, and on the other is a larger bistro that, like the bar, has two floors. The elegant space is filled with modern furniture and designer wallpapers in pastel green tones. The professional, young personnel unobtrusively creates a pleasant atmosphere. The menu is small, simple and clearly conceived, but it actually offers everything you need: delicious fish, meat and vegetarian dishes, which, with the choice of side dishes, spices and cooking techniques, balance between traditional and modern. This gastronomic concept for Nico’s was created by the famous chef Goran Kočiš. All the dishes are delicious and beautifully presented, allowing guests to explore different flavours: black cuttlefish risotto with wasabi, curly kale and apple, vegetarian cold cuts with hummus, poached sea bass fillet with broccoli and beurre blanc sauce, or black Slavonian pig cheeks with artichoke cream, crispy corn and demi -glace sauce. If the daily special includes Venetian liver with creamy polenta, don’t miss it, as well as a glass or two of wine from the attractive wine list, which promotes excellent domestic and foreign labels. There is a wide selection of cocktails, and they also offer Belgian craft beer. Nico’s is a charming oasis just a minute’s walk from the main town square, with fine food and selected drinks, and a very good price -quality ratio.
