Chef's Restaurant

The most Zagreb of all restaurants in Zagreb - this is how you could describe the Old Fijaker, a reliable place if you want to enjoy the flavors that have been nurtured for generations in the area of the Croatian capital. The Old Fijäker has a long tradition, it has survived numerous economic crises, social and state changes, and has remained reliable in terms of the quality of food and service and gastronomic style. Likewise, the interior has not changed for decades, but as it is a rustic decoration based on quality wood and other natural materials, it does not look at all worn-out. Zagreb residents as well as foreign guests come here. The Old Fijaker offers Zagreb classics, which are inseparable from the classics of Zagorje cuisine - such as duck or turkey with mlinci, pork knuckles, homemade blood sausages, bacon fillet, roasted or boiled veal with vegetables. The menu also extends to other parts of Croatia, thanks to dishes such as Dalmatian pašticada, Slavonian shepherd's stew and Lika kalja, and the restaurant's trademark is Popečci a la fijaker - made of minced meat, enriched with ham and cheese, in a rich mushroom sauce. The dishes in the carriage do not win over with spectacular presentations or modern techniques, but with honesty and consistency. The portions are generous, the flavors are rich, they bake their own bread and fine klipić, and all together it leaves the impression of authentic cuisine that is difficult to find in the center of Zagreb today.
