Tekka Zagreb: Japanese Restaurant at Radnička cesta 37b, Gault&Millau 16 (2026)

Tekka is a Japanese restaurant in Zagreb at Radnička cesta 37b, in the city's business district. Gault&Millau awarded it 16 points in 2026 and called it the best Japanese restaurant in Zagreb in its opinion.

Chef and cooking style

Tomislav Pirš is listed as head chef. The menu changes regularly, so alongside the classic sushi, sashimi and nigiri, the kitchen often sends out something new. Gault&Millau praised the first-class ingredients and precise execution, and noted plating that reads as haute gastronomy.

Standout dishes

The gyoza, filled with veal and spring onion with ginger, come out crispy on the outside and soft within. The ebi tempura has a crisp rice flour crust and a sweet and spicy sauce, and the reviewers considered it the best in the city. The nigiri are built on rice that holds its shape, with fine cuts of fresh fish.

Room and service

The restaurant occupies the ground floor of a modern building, with a minimalist interior. Sushi is prepared behind a large bar, while hot dishes come from the kitchen in the back. The staff are described as professional and friendly. The wine list pairs Croatian and international bottles with champagne, much of it available by the glass. Michelin lists Tekka as Recommended for 2026.
