Part 4/8:
The Cultural Heartbeat: Food and Markets
No exploration of Zagreb would be complete without indulging in its gastronomical delights. The city boasts a vibrant food scene characterized by both fresh local ingredients and innovative cuisine. The iconic Dolac Market stands at the center of this culinary landscape. For nearly a century, this market has been the go-to destination for high-quality produce, attracting locals and chefs alike.
During a visit to a market-side bistro, local chef Merrin Medic highlighted the significance of fresh ingredients sourced directly from the Adriatic Sea, such as red mullet and anchovies. The celebratory nature of Croatian food shines when enjoyed in group settings, where the dishes are shared and savored.
