Trendy Edition of Seductive French Cuisine

Sophistication and attention to detail, fresh local ingredients, and perfection of aroma and flavour are that which characterize this exceptional French gastronomic repertoire. Add carefully chosen spices, plenty of love, care and innovative ideas, a young and charming team of chefs and waiters, a pleasant ambience with an air of Paris chic and some fine

wines at acceptable prices – and you've found yourself in Zagreb's Le Bistro. Since its opening in 1986, Le Bistro immediately assumed an important role in the city's daily life and has for decades offered typical bistro-style meals, as well as the world-famous Esplanade strukli. With its elegance, simplicity and trendy menu, this simultaneously modern and traditional French bistro, located by the Esplanade hotel, has delighted both locals and numerous celebrity figures from the global show business scene. A menu coordinated with the changing seasons, seasonal specialties, a delicious selection of cakes and macarons alongside excellent coffees, or perhaps mingling over premium wines and a selection of unique cheeses will help to refresh your everyday. This easygoing daily treat will be enhanced by super quick wi-fi Internet, our PressReader Hot Zone with over 3,000 newspapers and magazines, our menu available on iPad tablets, as well as the Esplanade's delicious gourmet take-out.
