Mali Bar

Top choice in Zagreb


This earthy-toned spot by star chef Ana Ugarkoviċ is all about small plates, with influences cherry-picked from across the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Asia. Dig into labneh (strained yoghurt cheese) balls on a bed of chard and roasted beetroot, smoked tuna dressed in saffron, and Chinese pork dumplings all in the same sitting.

It shares the same terraced space with Karijola, hidden away in a veža (alleyway) off Vlaška.
