Local tip
Visit Zagreb's Dolac Market early in the morning for fresh local produce, just as Theatrium's chefs do.

Theatrium by Filho offers a unique gastronomic experience nestled within the atrium of the Youth Theatre in Zagreb, Croatia. Just a short walk away from the city's central square, this venue presents a dramatic yet modern interpretation of dining that captivates patrons both seasoned and curious about culinary arts. Chef Filip Horvat, known for his creative flair, deconstructs traditional Croatian dishes with precision, reconstructing them into unexpected and exciting culinary presentations. Each meal is orchestrated as a theatrical performance, featuring a sequence that evokes a storyline from prologue to epilogue.

For lunch, diners choose from a menu crafted to stimulate senses akin to an engaging play. In the evening, the experience extends with additional offerings like the chef's proprietary Weekend Festival and Seasonal Festival, enhancing the dining journey through multiple courses. The culinary team at Theatrium is composed of sous chefs with rich backgrounds from Michelin-starred European establishments. They prepare fresh ingredients with great care, sourced each morning from Zagreb's main Dolac market. Vegetables and fruits are handpicked from local gardens, while meats come from trusted small-scale producers and fresh fish from the Adriatic Sea, caught just the night before. The venue also prides itself on featuring exquisite world-class olive oil and truffles from nearby Istria.

Theatrium by Filho is suited for those who appreciate the nuances of high gastronomy combined with theatrical flair. Its location in the theater adds a layer of artistic ambiance, making it an ideal setting for special occasions or an explorative dinner with friends or partners.
