Bistro Žirafa

With a welcoming orangey-brown colour scheme that resembles the skin tones of a long-necked African mammal, Žirafa is unusually funky for a neighbourhood café in this part of town. It is five minutes' walk west of Maksimir Park and a nice place to end up after an afternoon stroll, with an outdoor terrace set back sufficiently from the busy thoroughfare of Maksimirska to offer a tranquil vantage point from which to observe the street life. Good coffee, a range of rakijas, and wireless internet.
