The Zagreb gourmet scene has changed dramatically in the last 10 years, and the city is now attracting plenty of plaudits for its diverse and enticing culinary scene.
In addition to a much wider selection of choice of cuisine, there is an increasing focus on food and festivals, and one firm favourite event which is now firmly embedded into the tourism calendar is back for its 2021 edition in a new location.
The Zagreb Burger Festival opened yesterday and will continue daily from midday until 23:00 (and 01:00 on Fridays and Saturdays) until September 19.
After years in the same location at Strossmayer Square, the event has moved slightly to the west for this year’s edition, to Dr Franje Tudjman square (just off Ilica), where 9 main stands will be offering you the best and most creative burger treats.
Since its inception, the Zagreb Burger Festival has caught the imagination and creativity of some of Croatia’s top chefs, and the annual competition to win the coveted title of Best Burger at Zagreb Burger Festival is always keenly contested. Last year’s winners are above.
There is also a lively music programme… but now to meet some of th stars of the festival – the burgers themselves. Which one has your name on it?
