Reviews
I found the best fish and seafood restaurant ever in Zagreb. I’ll be dining here more often when I’m in Zagreb. The food is fantastic and freshly prepared. The atmosphere is impeccable; only the service could be a bit quicker—there was a long wait for the waitstaff, especially in the outdoor seating area. Otherwise, I was very satisfied with the selection of dishes and the side dish combinations. P.S. This isn’t a criticism, but the boiled potato slices tasted a bit bland without any seasoning.
Great food and very nice service. Wine recommended by the waitress was very satisfying. Food was tasty and well seasoned. Highly recommend and would visit again.
Korčula is a must-visit for authentic, high-quality Adriatic seafood in Zagreb! The food was incredible. We had the octopus with polenta, which was perfectly prepared—tender, not chewy, and the creamy polenta provided a fantastic accompaniment. The Adriatic squid was exceptionally fresh, lightly fried, and served with outstanding homemade pommes and a superb homemade tartar sauce. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was attentive. Highly recommend Korčula to anyone looking for genuine Dalmatian cuisine in the capital. 5/5 stars
I usually don't leave comments, but this time I just gotta share my thoughts on a late lunch at this place. The restaurant looked great, kinda like those European modern casual dining spots I've been to before. The food was good, but not as amazing as what I saw on Facebook: "Best in Zagreb." Honestly, it was tastier than the average restaurants, but nothing really blew me away. What did surprise me, though, was the tipping culture in Croatia. Every waiter seemed to expect tips. But seriously, tips are for outstanding service, right? Our waiter didn't do anything wrong – he suggested drinks and brought clean plates, like any waiter should. So I didn't tip him, just like I don't at regular restaurants. I could see he was disappointed and got a "sorry for the bad service" instead of a simple goodbye. I hope he sees this and knows it wasn't about his service; it just didn't hit the tipping standard for someone from a non-tipping country.
Preparing seafood the right way! Left this for the last night after recommendation. It didn't let us down. Service is excellent, fitting to the style of the restaurant. One of the best meals of our long trip in the region. I would agree with others that a couple of plates needed further seasoning, but this allowed each person to season according to their liking. Starters were really nice (prawn tartare with foie gras and fish soup). The tuna steak is a must dish. Sea bass was cooked perfectly. Best for last...the desert was to die for (caramelised figs with mascarpone and cookie crumbles). Could have easily had a couple more :)
