Korak, Mon Ami and Cantilly Garden are among the restaurants featured in the world's most prestigious restaurant guide.
The release of the MICHELIN Guide Croatia 2026 has once again confirmed Zagreb County's growing reputation as one of Croatia's leading destinations for continental wine and gastronomy. The internationally acclaimed guide once again features restaurante Korakholder of one MICHELIN Star, together with Cantilly Garden, both recognised with the MICHELIN Selected distinction, reaffirming their outstanding quality, authenticity and culinary excellence. A particularly noteworthy achievement is the inclusion of of Cantilly Garden in the MICHELIN Guide for the first time, representing an important recognition of the team's dedication and further strengthening the destination's exceptional gastronomic offer.
These prestigious international recognitions are the result of years of strategic investment in gastronomy as one of Zagreb County's key tourism products. Through close collaboration with restaurants, chefs, winemakers, local producers, and family farms, the Zagreb County Tourist Board continuously invests in developing authentic wine and gastronomic experiences that inspire visitors to discover the destination year-round.
"For us, MICHELIN recognition represents far more than an acknowledgement of the quality of individual restaurants. It demonstrates that, as a destination, we are developing a sustainable, authentic and internationally competitive tourism product. For years, we have been systematically investing in the development of our wine and gastronomy sector, strengthening partnerships between outstanding restaurants and local producers, promoting our wine roads and indigenous products, and creating authentic experiences that combine exceptional quality with a true sense of place. We therefore see these recognitions as confirmation that our long-term development strategy and the joint efforts of all destination stakeholders are delivering outstanding results," said Ivana Alilović, Director of the Zagreb County Tourist Board.
She added that gastronomy has become one of the most important factors influencing destination choice among high-value travellers and plays a significant role in enhancing the international profile of continental Croatia.
"Our ambition is not simply to have restaurants featured in the world's leading gastronomic guides, but to develop a comprehensive wine and gastronomy ecosystem where quality is created at every stage—from vineyards and fields to the dining table. This holistic approach generates added value for the local economy, strengthens the destination's competitiveness and positions Zagreb County as a destination for exceptional culinary experiences."
The Zagreb County Tourist Board will continue implementing initiatives focused on sustainable gastronomy, promoting local food and wine, and strengthening cooperation among all stakeholders, ensuring that wine and gastronomy remain among the destination's strongest assets and a defining element of its identity and competitiveness.
The Zagreb County Tourist Board extends its heartfelt congratulations to Korak, Mon Ami, and Cantilly Garden, as well as their chefs and entire teams, on this outstanding international recognition. Their success is not only an achievement for the individual restaurants but also a recognition of Zagreb County as a destination of exceptional culinary excellence.
