VINCEK — Restaurant in City of Zagreb

Cool location, great for all the seasons except Winter, but even then can man eat pastry, tart, or cake, or simply have a coffee break under one of the infrared heaters. Traditional Vincek quality and cake size, at traditional Vincek prices, e.g. higher than a common pastry shop. Open space to three sides allows for decent ventilation. However, tolerance to smoking is no good deal. People bring kids there, more often than in some traditional restaurants. And smokers simply have to pleasure themselves, and do not think about anyone else. And Croatia has anti-smoking laws. Personel? Mostly OK, some even better than that, and some others...

The location was crowded and noisy beyond comfort Overcrowded seating, so people literally keep pushing by... you can hardly get up from from your seat before people push their way into your seats... Rather abnoxious.

I literally had to yell just to speak with the person you're sitting next to.

Apathetic wait staff who passed by me several times before I could even order a drink. It took nearly 20 minutes to get a simple cedevita.

One star, simply because they technically didn't mess up my order (a glass of water and powdered drink mix)... Yet I felt overcharged for lukewarm tap water with cedevita in the early summer, extremely...

P. S. Moramo smanjiti ocjenu jer je i Vincek , barem na Kvatriću (nadamo se da nisu i ostali, ali provjerit ćemo) smanjili porciju kesten pirea za više od trećinu. A uz to još i znatno poskupili i povisili cijene. Nepoštivanje mušterija i brenda koji se desetljićima stvarao.

Vincek je prva prava slastičarnica kod nas u moru bezličnih, polujestivih kolača koji se posluzuju na mjestima koja se ne bi ni smjele zvati slasticarnicama. Onda je dosla moda otvaranja novih slasticarnica sa zanatski izradjenim kolacima i sladoledima, fransize, poznate face koje zele imati svoju slasticarnicu, skupo placeni recepti kako bi imali vjerodostojnost.... Moram priznati da se tada kvaliteta ponude jako podigla, uz to naravno i cijene. Neki su brzo nestali, neki se pretvorili u fency mjesto , gdje je trebalo biti vidjen subotom na spici, neki se pretvorili u kafić..... Jer ruku na srce , tesko je zadrzati kvalitetu, stalno imati isti okus, svjezinu, sezonske namirnice...to je zahtijevno i ako to nemate u srcu , nemoguće. Vincek je ne marući za trendove radio, sirio se, zadzao svoju viziju i ostao broj jedan sto se tiče kolača, pa cak i sladoleda. Bez obzira sto narucili, uvijek znate tocno sto cete dobiti, jednakog okusa, kvalitete, svjezine... Kako prije 10 godina, 5, tako i sada. I kremšnita, i tiramisu, švarwald, sacher, boem , cheescake, razne torte, kesten pire.... jedini kolač koji mi nije najbolji i najdrazi za naruciti je baklava. Za sve ostalo Vincek je...
