To finish off my Croatia chronicles is my last meal in Zagreb. Lunch at new restaurant in town, the Da Piero Restaurant in the terrace of the Dolac Market. My flight back to the Netherlands leaves in the afternoon and what better to close the holiday with a grand lunch in the old centre.
Well, to back track a bit. I really had no idea where to eat. I wanted to sit down in an open area though. In fact I thought about eating at the Tkalciceva Street, but unfortunately, most restaurant cafes there only offer drinks. I spotted a traditional restaurant but it does not have a terrace and I will have to go inside to eat. No bother then. So I decided to go to the Dolac area. The Dolac market is always an energetic place to visit. Perhaps I will get some ideas there and see some nice places.
Just a little below the Dolac market is an open terrace converted into a restaurant. This is where I discovered Da Piero Restaurant. I did a quick scan on the menu and liked what I saw so I made the decision. The wait staff asked me if I wanted to go inside to be seated. I told him I will sit outside.
The wait staff was a very talkative and bouncy man. He asked why I am in Croatia, so I told him the places I have been to in his country. He was ecstatic when he learned I have been to Rovinj and Pula. `We have restaurants there!!!´ `Did you eat there?´ I said no and that he does not have to worry because I am now eating at their Zagreb branch. He grinned, wide.
He further told me that Da Piero Restaurant originated in Rovinj, and Pula is their second branch, and Zagreb, they just recently opened. The restaurant specialises in Istrian and Italian cuisine.
When I ordered the grand mix seafood, that I was sure I was not going to finish, the man said, `Good choice!´
Here are the rest of my pictures:
I can imagine that the restaurant’s outdoor terrace would be a popular place during summer. My rating: 4.3 stars out of 5.
