Dubravkin put is located in the Tuškanac forest, which offers a special experience of dining just ten minutes walk from the center of Zagreb, but in a calm and green surrounding. Dishes on the menu seem simple and traditional but are a bold combination of flavors. Dubravkin put offers lunch and dinner menus. Lunch menus change often, almost on weekly basis, and the dinner menu is based mostly on seasonally available ingredients. Both fish and meat dishes are remarkable, but if we had to highlight one thing that would be the dessert Le Louis XV, well desserts in general.
