Klet Europa j.d.o.o in Sveti Ivan Zelina offers a classic Croatian dining experience centered around hearty, spit-roasted meats and traditional regional flavors. This spot functions primarily as a restaurant and bar & grill, making it a go-to for anyone eager to dive into local comfort food in a casual yet spacious environment.

The roast pork on the spit stands out as the cornerstone of the menu, celebrated for its tender, juicy texture paired with a crispy crust. Ordering this dish usually requires a few days’ notice, indicating it's a carefully prepared specialty rather than a quick choice. Aside from the pork, the menu includes other substantial traditional options like roasted trout with vegetables, grilled calamari, and meat platters, all served in generous portions that reflect the welcoming, no-frills Croatian approach to hospitality.

The atmosphere is lively and unpretentious, well-suited for family gatherings or groups of friends. The large indoor space is practical and comfortable, while an on-site children’s playground makes it a convenient option for visitors with kids. Expect a bit of noise when the restaurant fills up, especially during peak times, but this only adds to the communal vibe of shared meals and local warmth.

Guests tend to arrive during weekends or early evenings when the kitchen can showcase its spit-roasted specialties at their best. Parking is ample, which is a significant plus given the rural setting outside central Zagreb. Service is generally prompt and friendly, reinforcing a down-to-earth, welcoming feel typical of this region's dining spots.

Local Croatian wines complement the food without overshadowing it, emphasizing a meal experience grounded in the area’s culinary traditions. Overall, Klet Europa is best suited for people looking for a substantial, authentic meal away from tourist-heavy centers — particularly those who appreciate rustic Croatian fare prepared with care and served in a relaxed, family-friendly environment.

Great roasted pork (pork on the spit), the best I’ve had so far in any restaurant, few days upfront reservation is needed though. Other meals are good as well, we’ve ordered fried calamari, Europa burger, and fried potatoes, portions are really large and prices are fair. It is spacious, and there is a children playground as well.

Excellent spit-roasted pork – the meat was tender and juicy with a nicely crispy crust. It could maybe use a bit more salt, but that’s a matter of personal taste. The potato “chips” were an interesting touch – crispy and different in a good way. Salad portions were generous, and overall the prices were quite reasonable for the amount of food. The wine was local, which is always nice to see, but it was quite sour – there’s some room for improvement there or perhaps a broader selection. The pancakes were nothing special; the batter could be a bit better, maybe softer or more flavorful. All in all, a very good meal with just a few small downsides. I’d definitely come back for the roast and portion sizes.

Europa surpassed our dining expectations in every way possible. The savory pork dish was an absolute delight, elevating our culinary experience to new heights. The ambience was perfectly curated, creating a dining atmosphere that can only be described as flawlessly perfect. Now, let's talk about those potatoes – a culinary masterpiece in their own right. These were, without a doubt, the best potatoes I've had across my extensive restaurant ventures in the past year, maybe even a decade. Crispy, salty perfection that left a lasting impression, even lingering in our thoughts long after we departed. The attentive and polite service, especially from the server, added an extra layer of satisfaction to our evening. Quick service, combined with a genuine politeness, truly enhanced the overall dining experience at Europa. In summary, Europa is a gem in the culinary scene, delivering exceptional flavors, a captivating ambience, and top-notch service. Our visit left us not just satisfied but genuinely impressed, making it a standout destination worth revisiting.

The best roast pork I have ever tasted. The meat was perfectly prepared, tender, and full of authentic flavor. The staff were exceptional – delivering warm, traditional Croatian hospitality that this region is known for. Klet Europa offers not only incredible food, but also a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place with ample parking. Can get a bit too loud when it's fully crowded. Waitresses are fast and polite. Food is amazing, well cooked, with nice presentation.

Very nice location, just outside the town, up on a hill. The open-air terrace is pleasant during the summertime-except for one thing, smoking is allowed on it( hence the 4 stars). The staff is nice, friendly and they can manage in English just enough to provide a good service. The food was lovely, we had smoked trout with vegetables (it would have been even better if they had used fresh vegetables instead of frozen ones). The meat (pork,etc.) is roasted on an open fire next to the restaurant. There is also a playground for children on the premises. The toilets are clean but not accessible by wheelchair or a buggy as they are downstairs and there isn't an elevator.

Excellent roster piglet, side dish and salat. Spacious terrace close to the forest with the fresh breeze. Finally helpful staff with new joke every time he Wes back to our table. Very recommended.
