Important news: Dear guests, We have closed our restaurant at the end of March 2014 in order to go into retirement. We would like to thank you very much for more than 42 wonderful years and for your loyalty throughout all the years - We will miss you! All the best, Marko Bošnjak & Family --------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to „Bei Marko“! Some fourty years ago, Marko Bošnjak and his family opened a restaurant on the corner of the Ferdinand-Wallbrecht-Straße and Lister Kirchweg and in the ensuing decades, it has become an institution for those of us who are in the know. It is always something of a cliché to talk about ‘hearty fare’ and ‘honest, down to earth home cooking’, but in this instance, it is all true. ‘Bei Marko’ does not offer grande cuisine, rather, the majority of dishes consist of tender grilled meat, simply cooked in the Croatian style with rice and/or fries and a side salad. Add a touch of the accompanying fiery chilli sauce and Marko’s ever genial presence to the ingredients and something rather special starts to happen. ‘Bei Marko’ becomes a haven, somewhere to satisfy a hungry stomach, talk, and generally forget about the stresses of the day.   Nick Virgo (a friend of the house) Address/Opening hours: Restaurant „Bei Marko“ Ferdinand-Wallbrecht-Str. 60 30163 Hannover Tel.: ++49 - (0)511 – 66 55 73 e-mail: info@bei-marko.de Open: Tuesday - Sunday 6.00 - 10.30 p.m., Sundays and on bank holidays also 11.30 a.m. - 2.30 p.m., Closed on Mondays Dear Guests,    We would be very glad to welcome you soon.

The ‘Bei Marko’ team Croatia in facts and figures     The Republic of Croatia may be one of Europe’s youngest states, but it has a cultural identity that stretches back over centuries. Its 4.8 million inhabitants occupy a land mass covering 56,538 square kilometres, with an additional 31,900 square kilometre coastal area. The coastline itself, including the country’s numerous islands is 5,470 kilometres long and is studded with picturesque towns and villages.   78 % of the population is Croatian and 76,5 % of the country Roman Catholic. The official language is Croatian, the currency is the Croatian “Kuna”. In terms of its geography, culture and climate, the North of the country has a middle European flavour, while the mountain areas are typically alpine and the Adriatic coast distinctly Mediterranean.   Croatia’s constitution was established in December 1990 and two years later, the country received international recognition. Croatia’s subsequent membership of the United Nations in May 1992, completed an important stage in the country’s integration into world politics.       We speak English, French,   Italian and of course German   and Croatian fluently!   Visitors from abroad are very welcome!
