Gault&Millau's review 2026

If you want to escape the crowds while enjoying dishes prepared according to traditional recipes from the Podravina region, the Tkalčec family’s restaurant is the perfect choice. With a tradition spanning almost half a century, Zlatni Klas is located near the main road connecting Virovitica and Pitomača. The restaurant is known for preparing meals using homegrown, eco-friendly ingredients. The menu features cornmeal porridge, roux-based soups, and various other porridge dishes, while nettle is used to make soups, noodles, cakes, scones, and bread. Recommended dishes include wood fired oven roasted duck, grilled chicken steak served with nettle thin dried flatbread, and tender pork ribs in a sweet-spicy red sauce, served with warm nettle flatbread. Portions are more than generous, all dishes are exceptionally tasty and made from top-quality ingredients, making the ratio value for the money very acceptable. The wine list features the finest wines from the Bilogora region. Dining on the rustic terrace offers an added pleasure: a view of “Cinderella’s carriage” and a pond with goldfish. The courtyard also features a hobbit-style house, a romantic barn-cabin that can be used for overnight stays, and gentle horses in a fenced area. There is even an old mill where grains are ground for flatbreads and bread. Zlatni klas presents the best of agrotourism in every season.
