When there's smoke, there's fire that meets the high cuisine!

They say salt is essential for seasoning, but at Bekal, we elevate traditional Croatian cuisine by harnessing the primal elements of flames, heat, ash, and smoke.

This is how we unlock the rich, authentic flavors of every dish.

Atmosphere

Bekal is an intimate yet punk-inspired concept. Cool beats and a relaxed vibe set the tone, evoking the warmth of an authentic tavern. But the bold fire mural on the wall makes a statement—this isn’t just another stuffy restaurant.

Here, the focus is fiercely on the food and its striking presentation

Our Menu

Our menu is switching seasonally with whatever is fresh and in sync with nature.

If we can't find it, we dry it, pickle it, ferment it, or conserve it in any way possible to save all the flavors and textures.

There’s always good prime meat, sometimes fish, fresh veggies and greens, fermented fruit and berries, silky creams, and fine but never too sweet desserts.

At Bekal, we are creating innovative food with a fairly traditional approach that always tells a story.

Pricing

There is no a la carte menu. We serve a unique seasonal 6-meal course for 50 per person.
Bekal offers a well-crafted regional biodynamic and organic wine list that accompanies all the flavors of the menu.
