Pod mirnim krovom

An unpromising-looking side street four tram stops east of the main square harbours this long-standing favourite with in-the-know Zagreb carnivores. Expertly singed steaks, veal cutlets and traditional Balkan grill-snacks fill out the menu, with squid representing the seafood side of things. Many people come here for the juicy roast lamb with roast potatoes (lamb is sold by the kilo; about 300g will be sufficient for one person) – raw spring onion is the usual side order. Prices are moderate. Most of Croatia’s wine regions are represented on the drinks menu.
