ManO2 — Restaurant in City of Zagreb

Editing the review in 2024: kind of good but not impressed still for a bill of €100 pp. Service is impeccable now, cold starters were really good with freshest fish, wine recommendation hit the spot. Steak however was bland and tasteless, despite aging and being cooked as it should. Hot appetiser (soparnik) did not surprise the tastebuds and was just a slice of greasy filo pastry layered with cheese.

At an executive level frequently visiting professionally as well as private these kind of establishments I am comfortably able to afford this. I appreciate good staff is hard to find, and know from experience the bad ones ruin what the possibly good name of any such place. Sincerely hope you make adjustments to your front of house A...
