Croatia (Part 2) | Must-Try Foods in Zagreb

✅Even with a three-day headache in Zagreb, I didn’t miss out on the culinary delights! 🌈 Unexpected Gems ✅ Amélie – A "cold-shoulder" dessert spot with a secret weapon ✅Stumbled upon it while searching for another café. Tiny but packed! 💤Must-try: 💤Cheesecake 💤"Magic Water": A DIY lavender-infused drink (just add the sachet to water). Shockingly delicious—no artificial flavors! 📍 Vlaska 6, Zagreb 🍥 La Štruk – Croatian baked cheese heaven 🍥Famous for its gooey, caramelized štrukli (cheese pastry). Ordered the nutty cheese version—rich, milky, and chewy with a perfect crust. 🍥Pro tip: Share—it’s very filling. Blueberry or honey versions also popular. 📍 Skalinska 5, Zagreb 🍰 Na Dolce – Croatian "meat pocket" 🍰Charcoal-grilled meat stuffed in flaky, fragrant bread—simple but so satisfying. Their mushroom rice is also a winner. 📍 Dolac 2 (Mala Terasa), Zagreb 🍰 Kravata – Handmade tie boutique 🍀Croatia invented the necktie (originally a battlefield identifier!). 🍀This shop’s ties are all handmade by the owner’s mom—unique patterns, perfect souvenirs. 📍 On Tkalčićeva Street ("Blood Street") 🍀 Lavender Products 💫Forget Provence—Croatia’s lavender is just as fragrant. Bought hand cream (lovely scent!) and other local treats. #CroatiaTravel #ZagrebEats #LavenderLove #FoodieFinds
