We came here last year but it was as the market was closing and this was the last bar standing. For some reason this is one of the many bars where Moogle Gaps didn't publish my review. ( Albeit maps struggles when lots of businesses close together and/or on top of each other.) Trying again this year while market still busy. A very small bar with almost all seating out front under an awning. Great atmosphere. Opposite outdoor market under the indoor market. Grab a seat if you can. Popular with the locals. A 0.5 l bottle of Ožujsko for 2€. What is not to like says Paulicarus! Note. No toilet..market facilities 25 m away at entrance to market..50c turnstile entry.

Petit café très sympathique et authentique, ouvert tôt le matin quand tout est fermé, à proximité du marché. L’accueil est chaleureux.

Sehr nette kleine Bar an der Außenseite der Markthalle. Wirklich guter Kaffee und später ein Gläschen Weißwein zum apero, bei flottem und sehr freundlichen Service.
