Lower town – Local tips (restaurants)

Being one of many Chinese restaurants opened in the last half a dozen years, the offer in Dinastija restaurant does not differ much from the lot. However, what is different, is the taste. It’s better!

Situated on the main street in Zagreb (Ilica) this pleasant oasis of Far East offers great food for more than decent prices. My favourite dish there is definitely spring rolls, which are perfectly crispy and never too greasy. Besides them, the vegetables there are never overcooked so you can actually try what they taste like and see for yourself that they are fresh and not frozen.

The interior is not impressive, a couple of generic vases and some ornaments with rosewood panels and lampoons. The soft background music sometimes gives me the creeps, because it is too squeaky for my taste (though it just might be culturally determined That’s why I mostly order takeaway! The portions are abundant and the working hours are decent. All in all, if you find yourself in the vicinity, stop by to fill the tummy with tasty Chinese food – otherwise, just call the delivery. (Note: Minimum delivery is 100kn).

Zlatni medo (golden bear in English) is a restaurant, as well as the biggest beer hall in Zagreb. As a restaurant it offers a good menu with lots of typical Croatian food, so it’s a good recommendation if you’re looking for a place to eat. But even though the food here is nice, I like Zlatni medo much more as a beer hall.

This place is great to go to when you don’t feel like going out the entire night, but you just want to spend a good time with your friends and a lots of great home made beer. The place itself is really big so the best thing is to come here with lots of friends. One other good thing about Zlatni medo is its furniture. Massive dark brown chairs and tables just make you enjoy your beer even more.

Zlatni medo is a place where you can have a good time, no matter if you just want to get a good meal or a good drink, so try not to miss it.
