As Zagreb bids farewell to the festive season and Advent, Fuliranje is wrapping up with a new creation.

Running until Tuesday, 7 January, this popular Advent event on Strossmayer Square in downtown Zagreb offers a last chance to experience its unique charm, including a brand new offering: Dubai štrukli.

This creative twist on the classic Zagorje štrukli is the result of a collaboration between the stand Tringlet, led by Eduard Beg, and pastry chef Juraj Klepić, known for his craft Dubai chocolate and Dubai fritule.

The dish combines traditional štrukli with an indulgent Middle Eastern flair: baked pastry topped with Belgian chocolate, kadaif, pistachio cream, and chopped pistachios.

It’s a must-try for fans of Dubai-inspired treats, a trend that has taken Zagreb Advent by storm this winter.
