Asian Street Food Festival returns to Zagreb

Zagreb's showcase square of Strossmayerov trg fills with the exotic tastes and bright colours of Asian cuisine from May 6, with 11 stands of culinary delights and a packed DJ line-up.

For six days from midday to midnight, guests can enjoy flavours of the city's finest Asian and Asian fusion cuisine, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Indian. Popular restaurant Purple Monkey will be serving from their gyoza bar while the Burger Institute gives their take on the Asian variety. Surrounded by red lanterns and pagoda-inspired decor will be the curry haven of Tuk Tuk Express, while no Asian food festival is complete without sushi, this year courtesy of SOHO.

At 2pm on the opening day, Monday, a tuna-cutting show for the benefit of Down Zagreb, a non-profit that works with children with Down Syndrome, provides a unique opening salvo for this gastro event.

A DJ line-up throughout the week will be bookended by local club legend DJ Kanca, with Springroll Soul, DJ Alvize, Kurto-Azija and DJ Māntà among the names putting in a shift behind the decks, joined by Sav Thai Jazz and Silk Road Closure.

The event runs until Sunday, May 12. Admission is free. For more information, see here.
