That&#8217;s why on weekdays at Maksi we cook daily dishes for anyone who wants something warm and filling in the middle of the working day.<\/p>\n<p>O\u017eujsko Pub Maksi is in Borongaj, right next to Maksimir Stadium, so it&#8217;s easy to drop by if you work nearby or are just passing through.<\/p>\n<h2>How does Try Me Today Only work?<\/h2>\n<p>From Tuesday to Friday from 11 am we cook daily dishes under the name <strong>Try Me Today Only<\/strong> (in Croatian, <em>Probaj me samo danas<\/em>). Every week we publish a new weekly menu with one dish for each day. Once the day is over, that dish is gone, which is exactly where the name comes from.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the menu is built around seasonal ingredients, sometimes around a good idea from the kitchen, and sometimes we just want to make something different. To give you an idea, one recent week looked like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tuesday:<\/strong> pork tenderloin risotto with vegetables and smoked cheese<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wednesday:<\/strong> yakitori chicken skewers, romesco sauce and homemade fries<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thursday:<\/strong> slow-roasted veal, mlinci and cabbage salad<\/li>\n<li><strong>Friday:<\/strong> grilled sea bass fillet, saut\u00e9ed vegetables and beurre blanc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next week will be different. The current menu with prices is always on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozujskopubmaksi.com\/en\/probaj-me-samo-danas\/\">Try Me Today Only<\/a> page, so take a look before you head over.<\/p>\n<h2>Who&#8217;s behind the plate?<\/h2>\n<p>The daily dishes are cooked by the same team that makes our \u00e0 la carte menu, led by chef <strong>Tomislav Kralj<\/strong>. We love good ingredients and dishes with character. Sometimes it&#8217;s a familiar classic, sometimes something a little different, but the goal is always the same: food you enjoy and want to come back for.<\/p>\n<h2>When the dish of the day isn&#8217;t for you<\/h2>\n<p>If the daily dish doesn&#8217;t tempt you, the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozujskopubmaksi.com\/en\/menu\/\">menu<\/a> is available too: burgers, tacos, woks, soups and our signature dishes. It follows the seasons and changes regularly, so there&#8217;s no room for boredom there either.<\/p>\n<h2>Coming with colleagues?<\/h2>\n<p>Lunch with the office crew is an everyday thing here, and when it&#8217;s warm, the spacious terrace is the best place to sit. If there are more of you, let us know in advance on <a href=\"tel:+385992303711\">+385 99 2303 711<\/a> or through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozujskopubmaksi.com\/en\/contact\/\">contact form<\/a> so we can get a table ready.<\/p>\n<p>Parking is public, in zone three, and costs \u20ac2.30 for the whole day. You&#8217;ll find us at Ulica Divka Budaka 18. We&#8217;re open Tuesday to Sunday from 9 am, and the daily dishes are served Tuesday to Friday from 11 am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A proper lunch on your break A lunch break goes by far too quickly, and if you spend it with a sandwich out of a paper bag, you feel it for the rest of the day.
