Ivica I Marica

This kitschy dining spot on busy Tkalciceva has introduced a novel concept -- Grandma's Croatian preparations made healthier with whole grains and seasonal local products. The restaurant has lots of wood and homey touches (servers wear traditional national dress) and what you can see of the kitchen reveals colorful tole-painted flowers on all the cabinets. The menu at this woodsy place named after Hansel and Gretel (in Croatian, of course) is no less fascinating. Begin with whole-grain flatbread accompanied by local fresh cheese or olives and tomatoes. Then move to integral sujnudle (boiled dumplings with hunter sauce or mushroom sauce). Fish is on the menu, as are moussaka with eggs and soy ham plus four varieties of strukli.
