Gault&Millau's review 2026

On the ground floor of the Art’otel in the city centre there is a modern Pan-Asian restaurant and teahouse YEZI, very popular among business guests and fans of small dishes ideal for sharing at the table. The idea is that you can taste as many as possible from the selection of rich flavours and culinary specialties from Asia. Start with the small bites such as shrimp with wasabi and avocado sauce and the and crispy fried squid with tamarind dressing. The sashimi salads, refreshing spinach salad with goma dressing and sesame, and the crispy duck with mustard sauce, maple syrup, grapefruit, pine nuts and chili are excellent. There is a large selection of dim sum dishes, steamed or fried Asian ravioli. We recommend the xiao long bao with pork, the gyoza with shrimp in Hong Kong style and the crispy spring rolls with duck meat and hoisin sauce. Main dishes are prepared on the grill, in the oven or in a wok. We highlight the very tasty slow-cooked beef ribs with teriyaki sauce. All the dishes are delicious and attractively presented, while the flavours complement each other. Chef Dino Knežević (Gault&Millau Croatia trophy Young Talent of the Year 2021) is leading the kitchen team. YEZI has created two tasting menus, Harmony and Imperial, and they are prepared for at least two people. Both contain selected salads, dim sum, small and large dishes, and desserts. There is a rich selection of wines from Croatian domestic and foreign wineries, and the offer of wines by the glass is a pleasant surprise.
