Time Out Croatia news

The residents of Zagreb can finally enjoy Ficlek's picturesque patio - which has a beautiful view of the Zagreb Cathedral - again. The stars must have aligned in Zagreb. Just a day after the city allowed bar and restaurant terraces reopening, Ficlek celebrates its first birthday - and welcomes visitors back! One year after its opening on March 2, 2020, Ficlek held a party for its fans from across the city. "Behind us is a great year that we want to celebrate with our guests because, despite the difficult situation that is still current, the number of our guests is constantly growing and we want to show them how much we their support means. All thanks to our guests who saw our effort, work, and honesty in what we do: only homemade, local and authentic! Without them, we would not be where we are", explains the Ficlek team. It doesn't get more authentic than Ficlek, a restaurant delighting locals and tourists alike with traditional Zagreb fare - and they've still managed to keep guests more than happy despite opening before the first lockdown. The restaurant came to life in a big way, with an unmissable style. In fact, it's become a full-on institution and authority on the local gastro scene. Read more here!

It's the end of February, which is (usually) the month of costumes, krafne (traditional donuts), and festivities galore.

A cool new grocery store has opened in Zagreb - selling produce only from domestic producers and family farms, as it was in the past. This is the story behind the store's name "Kao nekad", which translates roughly to "Like it once was". Behind this project is a big effort by a small group of people, and even more ambition. Kao nekad What is Kao nekad? Kao nekad is a fairly unique concept in Croatia, of a food store that offers a wide range of groceries of exclusively domestic origin. In addition to well-known local brands, most of their offer consists of products made by small producers and family farms - over 100 of them - which the general public has yet to discover. The team's goal is to put products on shelves that will satisfy the needs of even the greatest gourmets and enrich menus and social gatherings all over Zagreb. With this project, in addition to offering customers new and high quality foods, the team wants to create a place that will provide support to artisan producers with amazing products, and in doing so, help the Croatian economy. Kao nekad is more than a place to buy groceries. They are, in a way, investing in small producers, creating new jobs, and ultimately offering opportunities for people to eat better quality and more fresh food. Kao nekad Creating Kao nekad During the turbulent year of 2020, the Kao nekad team noticed a growing desire for home-grown food and products by Croatian family farms. The team members themselves were among those with thi

A new restaurant has hit Zagreb's gastro scene. Its menu concept is centered around authentic Thai food with fusion touches. First came the success of Thai classic "Gai Pad Med Mamuang" (cashew chicken). Then the time came for a famous Thai street food dessert: the scrumptious "Banana Roti". This is a treat made of thin baked dough stuffed with fresh bananas and topped with condensed milk. It's served in pieces for easier consumption. Try it yourself by ordering via the Wolt or Bolt food delivery applications, or with a direct order. Simply call +385993253600 and pick up your meal personally at the Siam kitchen - located at Pod Zidom 5 in Zagreb. Don't miss munching down on this sweetness... Siam Urban Thai  

Another new Museum of Illusions has opened, this time in New Delhi, India. With that, the team behind this Croatian franchise has officially become the owner of the largest chain of private museums in the world. The Museum of Illusions has delighted the Croatian cultural and tourist scene with three museums opened so far in Zagreb, Split, and Zadar - with Dubrovnik coming soon, too. The concept, that originated in an alleyway on Zagreb's Ilica Street has spread across the world like wildfire. Cities like Toronto, New York, Paris, Shanghai, Dubai, Chicago, Kuala Lumpur, Madrid, Istanbul and over twenty others have their own Museum of Illusions now, with further expansions planned as well. © Museum Of Illusions As of this year, India also has its first Museum of Illusions, and Croatia has again confirmed that it has an excellent export product on its hands. © Museum Of Illusions Tomislav Pamuković and Roko Živković are the original minds behind the idea. Their goal was to change the perception of museums from dormant, uncreative buildings, where the emphasis is on listening and looking in silence with a touching ban, to places where information is learned interactively, noisily, and where photography and questions are encouraged. Their Zagreb Museum of Illusions may be the first and the smallest, but it sets the bar high! © Muzej iluzija Zadar
