Gault&Millau's review 2026

The view of the Drava River and the riverside promenade is one of the main assets of this restaurant, located on the first floor of a city hotel. Equally strong, however, are its gastronomic qualities, which make it one of the most pleasant places for lunch in Osijek. A modern, refined interior design is paired with minimalist table settings and an à la carte menu focused on meat and fish, using fresh local ingredients. The staff are unobtrusive and well versed in both the menu and the extensive wine selection. Meat lovers will enjoy rib-eye steaks and sirloin served with romanesco sauce. An ideal way to start the meal are the pumpkin or cauliflower cream soups, both perfectly balanced in flavour. Among the main courses, the paccheri stand out – traditional pasta from Italy’s Campania region, served with tender veal in a rich chanterelle mushroom sauce. Also highly recommended are the perfectly cooked duck breast with a delicate pumpkin-and-orange purée and glazed apples in a red wine sauce. For dessert, elegant options include the Tris Crème Brûlée or pistachio cheesecake. The wine list features carefully selected regional wines, along with a few international labels and sparkling wines. Meandar continues to confirm its status as one of Osijek’s leading gastronomic destinations – a place where seasonal cuisine, creativity, and elegance come together in a complete dining experience.
