Christmas party venues in Trnje, Zagreb

A hall above the city and a restaurant among the towers

Atelier is the largest space described here: a 380 m² hall for up to 220 seated or 450 standing guests, with an on-site kitchen that sends dishes to the table warm. Matis Absolut Lounge on Trg Stjepana Radića presents itself as a refined space with a garden exit and a fountain, a technically equipped hall, and it covers catering and live music. Lobby Food&Mood on the ground floor of Eurotower has 500 m², an air-conditioned terrace, a stage and a sound system.

Restoran Trnjanka on Trnjanska cesta offers a separate hall for smaller celebrations and business meetings. Restaurant Balon on Prisavlje is a fine dining room with a discreet atmosphere. Gladne oči on Korčulanska ulica prepares occasional menus for groups of 15 or more, which can be combined, with drinks charged by consumption. Its entrance, seating and parking are accessible for wheelchair users.

What to fix before the date is set

Start from the shape of the evening: a seated dinner, a standing reception or a mix. Atelier and Lobby Food&Mood state standing capacity, which matters for receptions, while Trnjanka's separate hall suits smaller groups. Ask each venue what it can arrange for a Christmas party, how drinks are charged and whether the space is used by other guests at the same time.

Accessibility is worth checking in advance: Gladne oči, Trnjanka and Balon list accessible entrances and parking, while Atelier lists an accessible entrance and toilet, and Matis Absolut Lounge lists step-free access to the entrance, car park and a toilet. Confirm the menu, the number of guests and the layout in writing, and settle the date early because December fills quickly across the district.

Menus, drinks and the terms in writing

Gladne oči and Atelier state how food is handled: combined occasional menus for groups at the first, dishes from a selected menu cooked on site at the second. Elsewhere the kitchen arrangements need a direct question. Drinks are charged by consumption at Gladne oči, so a group should agree the bar arrangement in advance.
