An old-school type of restaurant situated in the downtown Zagreb. It may seem a bit odd at the first glance (compared to some more modern, fusion-type of restaurants) but one should not be discouraged because in the end you won't leave disappointed. We were friendly greeted by the staff at the very entrance and taken to our table in the new part of the restaurant which is spacious and full of light (and which is basically a part of the large backdoor terrace open in warmer part of year). The waitress was very attentive and helpful so we made our order pretty fast. We started off with herb and honey brandy and then shared a home-made mushroom soup (one portion was enough for two persons). For the main course we had home-made grilled sausages with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut and fried breaded hake with tartar sauce and fries. Just like the soup, the meals were excellent and tasty; needless to say that portions are really generous so in the end you do get a real value for your money. For drinks we had (still) one of the best of the Croatian dark beers („Tomislav“) and white wine with a scent of water (locally known as „škropec“) which paired good with the food. Finally, for desert we had homemade style pancakes with walnuts and chocolate dressing (again one portion was enough for the two of us). So, if you're into discovering traditional Croatian/Zagreb food, this place is definitely worth a visit!

I am an American of Croat descent. I know nothing of the culture but my kids and I decided to visit on our first trip to Europe so we could learn. Purger was the only real sit-down restaurant we visited, mostly because my budget required grocery shopping and cooking in our Airbnb flat. I had no idea what to expect and I still don't know if the food was authentically Croatian, but it was delicious! This was also my first experience with service in the country. I thought the server was very sweet in trying to speak English for us. I had only been able to learn a few words and phrases in Croatian, certainly not enough to order a meal. The menu was translated into English, though. We had a lovely dinner and my only "complaint" is that I'm spoiled by living in a non-smoking country. I did know to expect that, though. I am already planning my next trip to Zagreb and another meal at Purger is definitely in the plans!

Got recommended this restaurant by locals and have to say it was worth it. Friendly grandma owner who speaks English, delicious food and location in city center. BUT the most difficult thing is to choose from the very long menu (where are no photos) and English translations are not always the same as original Croatian (translations usually don’t describe the meal correctly and are confusing), we spent about 20 mins by choosing from the menu which wasn’t fun at all. Food was delicious anyway. We had “Veal stew seasoned with paprika” (Teleci paprikas s pire krumpirom, 69 kuna) and Sarma - rolled sauerkraut leaves stuffed with minced meat (Sarma is kiselog zelja, pire krumpir i dinstano zelje, 69 kuna)

Definitely authentic Croatian restaurant. Has nice outdoor seating in the front and back of the restaurant. Local beer on draft came out very quickly. Sooo many specialties it was kind of hard to pick, but the stuffed peppers and stuffed sauerkraut seemed authentic. The grilled veal was good, but I would probably try something else next time. We also accidentally got some kind of schnitzel, I thought it was more of an escalope wrapped around some filling rather than a fried schnitzel, but ok it was still good. There were some locals, but a lot of tourists including ourselves of course. I would overall highly recommend as authentic if tourist heavy in the summer season. Thanks!

Great restaurant with casual dining with fast, friendly and efficient service. Located in downtown Zagreb. This place serves up tasty, delicious and generous portions of all the Croatian specialities my favourite being the cevap, veal schnitzel and sopska salad. They have a wide variety of dishes on the menu and plenty of options with the menu available in English, Spanish, French and German. If you are looking for great Croatian restaurant with casual dining options, great service, generous portions and reasonably priced I would highly recommend you check this place out. Some advice is to be mindful as parking is available on the street yet you have to pay up until 2200.

If you want real home made style food, look no further. It is a piece of history in a modern world. Staff is extremly nice and you see they love their job. Also, educated for the job. Intérieur is what you expect to see in such a place. Clean, bit old style, brings you back to your childhood days. And the food...food is like your Mom had cooked, like your grandma has done it. It is the most cosy meal, reminding you of those family lunches you used to have as a child. We had bean soup, which was simply delicious. Not too thick, plenty of veggies. Also, we took duck with "mlinci". It was perfection. We will definitely come back!
