The best bistros in Croatia, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Nuré comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Zagreb and Makarska.

Ješka Fine Bistro and Nico's Bar & Bistro hold the next two places.

Rank 1. Nuré
Korean Bistro
Four tables in a narrow-street bistro off Ilica, run by a Korean family who came to Zagreb by way of fine dining kitchens across Europe and Asia. The cooking is contemporary Croatian with a quietly global edge, precise and personal without announcing itself. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks. Lunch runs simpler; evenings are when the kitchen opens up.

Rank 2. Ješka Fine Bistro
Croatian Bistro
A husband-and-wife team runs this cozy bistro on Makarska's central square, folding Dalmatian produce into a menu with an easy Italian accent. Everything is made to order, which shows. Lunch leans casual and generous; evenings shift toward something a little more considered. The room is rustic enough to feel unassuming and polished enough that you'll notice the plating. A Michelin Selected Restaurant, and one that earns the nod quietly, without trying too hard.
