Witness Restaurant & Lounge Bar

Just up the street from the Croatian Supreme Court and the Zagreb County Court, the appropriately named Witness looks every bit the stage-set for a contemporary gangster movie, with silver-painted chairs, oversized teddy bears sitting cushion-like on plush sofas, and a white grand piano all serving to conjure up an atmosphere of easily-acquired bling. It’s still very cosy as a daytime/evening retreat, with a good choice of wines, a strong cocktail list, and, kitsch details notwithstanding, an intimate, lounge-bar feel. The restaurant provides above-average bistro fare with a menu that majors in well-presented Adriatic fish and meat dishes.
