Noir43 Opens, a Restaurant and Bar with a Unique Concept in the Heart of Zagreb

Zagreb has gained a new gastronomic destination that combines refined cuisine, top-notch bar culture, and a vibrant social atmosphere in the city center. Located at Petrinjska 43, Noir43 has opened, a restaurant and bar with a unique concept that emphasizes socializing, sharing flavors, and experiencing dining as a whole. Food and drink here are not just for consumption, but a reason to come, stay, and create beautiful moments.

Daily Rhythm and Evening Energy

The day at Noir43 offers a selection ideal for business meetings, gatherings with friends, or a short break from the hectic pace. The daily menu features premium burgers in various combinations – from our Noir Classic Smash and signature The Noir burger with truffle mayonnaise to the Korean Fried Chicken version and seasonal specials like Forest Smash with porcini mushrooms.

There are also loaded fries variants with crispy chicken or slow-roasted turkey, homemade salads, and sides like crispy polenta and roasted potatoes with truffle salt. Everything is prepared fresh in the Noir43 kitchen, using ingredients from Croatian family farms, ensuring that every meal is delicious and of high quality, even on the busiest days.

When the lights dim and the city slows down, Noir43 transforms into a modern evening bar and restaurant, a place where refined cuisine becomes a creative play of flavors. Chef Zlatko Belužić signs a menu inspired by European cuisines and local ingredients, while chef Lucia Jergović is responsible for the daily rhythm and execution of dishes in the kitchen, skillfully transforming fresh seasonal ingredients into vibrant, aromatic, and impressive dishes.

Smaller portions are designed for sharing, allowing guests to experience as many different combinations, textures, and aromas as possible in one evening.

Arancini with spicy sausage and fermented aioli, sea bass ceviche with fresh citrus, tataki tuna in a delicate ponzu sauce, mini Vis pogača, or modern soparnik are just part of the menu that combines tradition and global inspiration into a unique experience.

A Place for Socializing, Meeting, and Enjoying

In the center of the space is a large communal table, a symbol of the Noir43 concept. It encourages spontaneity, conversation, laughter, and sharing experiences. Whether you sit alone or in company, you never know who might become your new companion in an evening filled with flavors.

– We want to create a place where people feel welcome, where they meet, relax, and enjoy food and good company. Zagreb deserves a space where gastronomy becomes a social event, and that is exactly what we bring – emphasizes Ante Marasović, the owner of Noir43.

The bar program at Noir43 is crafted by Filip Došen, a bartender whose approach combines creativity, knowledge, and a refined sense of guest experience. Each of his drinks is designed as a small ritual – a blend of technique, imagination, and emotion. Filip, along with his team, continuously builds and enhances the bar offerings. However, his true talent lies in something deeper than recipes – in the atmosphere he creates behind the bar. Filip builds a place that guests return to not for the glass, but for the feeling it evokes.

In shaping the wine list and advising on bar selections, he collaborates with Darko Uremović, one of the most respected experts in the Croatian bar scene, and Ivan Jug, a top sommelier who curates the selection of wines and champagnes.

The wine list is shaped in collaboration with Ivan Jug, co-owner of Wine Selecta, one of Croatia’s most esteemed sommeliers, whose expertise guarantees a carefully selected wine list that harmoniously complements our cuisine.

Signature cocktails are inspired by the energy of the city, and the wine list features selected labels from Croatian, Italian, and French vineyards, as well as a selection of champagnes and sparkling wines. Thanks to the Coravin system, many labels will also be served by the glass.

Refined lighting, a top-notch sound system, and meticulously thought-out design create an ambiance that is both elegant and relaxed. Noir43 is a place where you can dress up and go out, yet still feel completely casual, because luxury is not in the rules, but in the freedom of feeling.
