By Croatian standards a very distinctive bar fitted out in homage to the Orient Express, fitted leather seats and booths, ephemera covering the walls, wood fittings. Small and narrow, a good job to execute the closest they could make the place feel like a train carriage.

A central crowd with a mixed audience, this is a downtown kind of atmosphere and stays open til midnight on weekdays and 2am at weekends.

Value For Money❤️❤️❤️
City centre prices, maybe 5% higher than some, but nothing too outrageous.
DescriptionA bar we found simply by walking past it, who knows how many hours of research we saved in the process. Eye-catching Orient Express theme, a small narrow bar you enter straight off a shopping street. Wood fittings, leather upholstered seats and booths, golden age ephemera on the walls, this is noteworthy, particularly in a country with a famously ‘who cares’ approach to decorating its Caffe bars. Drinks are fairly stock but complimented with some local craft options. Service is very friendly and used to touristic custom, and the place does a familiar kind of city centre trade, perhaps not a place with regulars as such. Well worth a look while in Zagreb.
