A tiny place on Skalinska, the steep street up to the cathedral, La Štruk is dedicated to one dish: štrukli, the Zagreb cheese pastry, in every form it takes. The boiled version comes in a small clay dish, soft and creamy, topped with a layer of melted butter and cottage cheese; the baked version is golden and crisp on top. Savoury fillings dominate the menu — fresh cheese, walnut, pumpkin — but there are sweet variants with apple or chocolate.
The dining room holds twenty people and there is a small terrace. Reservations are essential at busy times. Open for lunch and early dinner; cash and card accepted. A single štrukli is a meal; locals often share two and a salad.
