Food Scene
Mundoaka is one of the hippest places to have a quality dinner just around the corner of the Jelačić Square. With what seems like a never-before-seen menu, they like to mix a variety of influences into something that they call “Food with Heart and Soul”. What to expect? Don’t expect anything but not being able to choose from the delicately arranged seasonal meals made for open-minded, organic-loving foodies — and a slight cue.

In translation — “Under the Old Rooftops” — is Zagreb’s oldest up-and-running tavern that serves those of good faith and humor a very domestic atmosphere, with a range of inexpensive drinks and that Upper-town, historical feel. It’s a must-go, especially if you’re into high cultural indulgence upon arrival to a new destination. It’s a great place to start a night out — at least to take a peek into the soul of the old capital, today more of a ghost town ideal for a picturesque evening walk.

Drinks & Nightlife
We think everyone can agree that Dežman’s Passage is surely one of the most romantic streets of Zagreb’s city center. Somewhat hidden from the eyes of passersby in Ilica and Frankopanska, this charming little pedestrian zone makes one feel as though they’ve teleported to another realm. Suddenly, you could be in Le Marais, or in a corner of Mayfair in London. There, between specialized boutiques and conceptual stores, stands Dežman Bar — a little corner perfect for catching up with your best friend, offering delicious bites of finger food and even better drinks.

The Croatian idea of a wine bar often turns out to be something that looks more like a place you would go to grab a beer with friends in New York, but it’s the variety of rakija that counts here. It has this atmosphere you want to blend in with for hours. Mojo Bar is located in a dimly lit basement at the beginning of Zagreb’s Design District, just a few minutes walk from the main square, right across from the National Bank. Drop in for DJ sets and live gigs, and every single flavor of Croatian-style schnapps you can imagine.
