Mala Hiža
Widely regarded as one of Croatia’s top restaurants, Mala Hiža occupies an 1887 building that once stood outside Zagreb but was dismantled and reconstructed here in 1996. The rustic, wood and stone interior is cozy and welcoming, and the service is friendly and professional. The menu celebrates local cooking, with an emphasis on meat. House specialties include kopun u umaku od vrganja (capon in a porcini mushroom sauce) and Međimurska gibanica, a delicious cake consisting of layers of cream cheese, walnuts, poppy seeds, and apple. The wine list is extremely impressive—you would do well to let the waiter recommend wines produced by Međimurje vintners. On the top floor, under the sloping roof, there are two guest rooms and one apartment, which might be worth considering if you plan on indulging in those local wines over dinner.
