Boulangerie Mone — Restaurant in Dobrota

I went twice, and both times ended up leaving.

The first day I ordered smoothies on the way to catch a bus for a day trip. They told me they would take 15-20 minutes to make the two, which was fine as I had 30 minutes to spare. I put the order in with the bartender as the server was busy/didn’t acknowledge me. After 25 minutes I asked the bartender about the smoothies, and he had clearly forgot about them and told me they’d be ready in 3-4 minutes. I waited outside, and he came out a minute later to ask which smoothies I wanted again. I reiterated that I had to leave in a couple minutes, and he told me he couldn’t make them that fast. Annoyed I left to catch the bus.

I came back the next day to give them a second chance. It was somehow busier than the Sunday, and they seemed equally underwater. We sat down after standing around with no one really acknowledging us, server passed multiple times without hello or giving a menu, and after seeing peoples orders come out randomly, people asking the server about where their orders were, and a couple waiting patiently for cutlery for 5+ minutes, we decided to pick up and leave (while the couple was still waiting on their cutlery).

There are clearly staffing issues here — both in number of people staffed and level of ability. The menu looked good, and the food looked quite nice… but maybe don’t go if the restaurant is more...

Sorry, but I would not recommend eating here. The wait is too long; there was only one couple that had already finished eating and we waited almost 20 minutes for the croissants. As we were in a hurry, not expecting the croissants to take so long, we asked them to pack the last croissant to go and waited another 10 minutes for that! (They all came at separate times)

In the end, three croissants with toppings and three orange juices cost us 31€ which isn't justified by the quality of the food, service and the location. We were told the price without being given a check. The location is nowhere near the old town and the food really doesn't suit the price.

Our friends that live nearby told us that they too are disappointed in this place and that the food is sometimes stale and the service very slow.

I understand that this is a small business and that they try to put in the effort, but it's just not up there compared to the ones that have the same prices, better product...

We were here a few days ago for breakfast and everything started well. The girl at the counter was really helpful and explained all of the options really well.

We ordered and the food took a while to arrive but it was ok. No one else was there and we didn’t mind waiting.

The portion sizes that we got were probably half the size we expected based on similar meals and restaurant experiences. So the first negative is that, this really was poor value for money. In the end we got 2 small meals and 2 drinks and the total was nearly 30€! We ended up going to a bakery after to get more food as we were not satisfied.

When we went to pay, everyone working there was in the kitchen. They were busy with a lot of people crammed into the small reception waiting area and it took us 30 minutes to pay the bill! We also noticed a number of people came to order and weren’t able to get inside, so they left and got...
