Part 5/8:
Among the must-try dishes in Zagreb, strukli is a standout—a traditional meal that perfectly represents local culinary customs. For those looking for street food, the burak, a flaky pastry filled with cottage cheese, is a beloved option.
Café Culture and Relaxation
After indulging in the market delights, locals often retreat to one of the city’s cafés for a well-deserved coffee. The café culture in Zagreb reflects its historical influences, with both Turkish and Italian brewing traditions coexisting harmoniously. Nick Oršić, a café founder, emphasized the communal aspect of drinking coffee, where patrons sit for hours enjoying conversations and the ambiance. With coffee prices averaging around 7 Kuna, it offers an affordable way to take a break and soak in the local life.
