7. 4 – Peta Cetvrtina
5/4 – Peta Cetvrtina
Forgotten Croatian traditional dishes, interpreted in a modern, unpredictable way made with the freshest seasonal and locally foraged ingredients, shoot 5/4 (or Peta Cetvrtina in Croatian) to the top of the list for best cultural restaurants in Zagreb. Their well-known celebrity chef Dono Galvagno is a visionary cook and has created an experimental and exciting five, seven and nine-course menus with weeds, algae, wild oysters and other exciting ingredients. There is nothing flashy about this place, and while the cooking is based on complex and arduous procedures, the outcome is simple and familiar but with an unexpected twist. It has an open, nearly clinical kitchen and the interior has a Scandinavian feel. A wine list of organic, lesser known natural wines by small local produces from various regions of Croatia sticks to the philosophy of the eatery and the affordable prices are a bargain for such high level of cuisine.
