Zagreb is a great city. In fact, it is so good that Lonely Planet made it a winner in Best in Europe 2017 list. That means, among other things, that you should definitely come and explore the Croatian capital this year. To facilitate the exploration process and give you a choice of great cheap eats I prepared this list.
Voila, the TOP 5 great cheap eats in Zagreb, Croatia!
1. La Štruk
Address: Skalinska ul. 5
Website: https://www.facebook.com/La-%C5%A0truk-1423984021186239/
Why: a small eatery right in the heart of the Old Town serving… štrukli, a Croatian speciality dish made from special dough and fresh cow cheese. Just that. But the truth is, štrukli are super delicious and budget-friendly. One of the best cheap eats in Zagreb!

2. Umami
Address: Skalinska ul. 3
Website: https://www.facebook.com/umami.restoran
Why: somewhat 10 meters from La Štruk you find one of the coolest Asian eateries in town – Umami. The place has a variety of woks, bowls and other fusion dishes to choose from. Although not the cheapest place around, Umami is a good bargain.

3. Zrno Bio Bistro
Address: Medulićeva ul. 20

4. Ginger Sushi

5. Restoran Bas
Address: Britanski Trg, Ivana Kukuljevića 1
Website: http://www.bas.hr/ristorante-bas
Why: so the other day I was looking for a budget place to eat a fried squid (I always do this while in Croatia) and there it was – fried calamari for 35 kunas in Restoran Bas. Basically, you can sample all the dishes of Croatian cuisine at a ridiculous price in this spot.
