After being a guest in Pula and at Špancirfest in Varaždin, the popular Zagreb Burger Festival returns to the Croatian capital.
Zagreb Burger Festival will take place at Trg dr. Franje Tuđmana in the heart of Zagreb from 8-18 September.
New and creative concepts, craft sweets and chilled drinks await festival-goers at about fifteen little houses.

With meat delicacies from already popular Croatian chefs Mate Janković (Burger Institute), Ivan Pažanin (Chef’s Burger by Ivan Pažanin), Mario Mihelj (El Toro) and Nenad Komes (The Meat) and promising grill master and blogger Davor Šušković (BBQ Hot Yard), whose burgers have original names, visitors will also be able to try juicy burgers from Zadar (Picnic), Novi Sad (Toster) and last year’s winner from Dubrovnik (Guloso), which this time found inspiration in the characters of Marin Držić.
