"For as long as anyone can remember, locals have frequented this mainstay in the heart of Zagreb for special family meals. Even when the tourists caught on, Vinodol remained at the top of its game, serving cuisine from all over Croatia, including Zagorje štrukli (a type of cheese dumpling), Istrian fuži pasta with black truffle, and Zagreb steak (which is really veal stuffed with ham and cheese). For the ultimate meal, order the juicy lamb or veal, roasted with potatoes under peka (a traditional baking dome). Choose a table in the elegant, vaulted-ceiling dining room, or on the covered terrace along a passageway off Teslina Street."
Very enjoyable experience. We were advised several local dishes that we liked. Since, I Wished to know the local wines, I asked and received good recommendations by glass.
We paid a bit high but no complains. I do not understand some of the bad reviews.

A very good local restaurant with some traditional Croatian food. The Monkfish and Zagreb cutlet are delicious.
Only one downside is waiting quite long for the dishes.

We had a good time ☺️ I loved the pea cream which came with the trout. Delish 😍 One slight disappointment was that the trout was proposed to be coated with 'hazelnut crust', which was missing. I didn't get any explanation for that, but perhaps was it because I asked a garlic -free dish? It would have been nice to have some hazelnuts !

Awful place. The service is really bad in terms of speed even when the place is not full. The waiters however are amazing and doing their best. They even suggested local dishes and starters/deserts. However the food is awful. The prices are over the roof and the place is definitely NOT recommended. If you value your sense of taste, eat somewhere else.

Beautiful and quiet dining room. Service was first rate. Jan our server was very attentive and informative. His suggestions were right on the spot. The chard tart starter was not to be missed flavored by the local olive oil. We also enjoyed the veal main dish and the deconstructed poppy seed and cheese cake. The Pinot noir and Chardonnay weekly suggested wines very nice. Good celebration of Croatian food and libations.

This restaurant had food I will dream about being able to eat again. The portion sizes were quite reasonable too. I got the veal schnitzel and the cheese literally oozed out of it. My friend had a beef filet, I think, and it was the most tender piece of meat it literally melted like butter in your mouth. Dessert was also incredibly tasty, if I recall I got a chocolate mocha cake and devoured it. Wine was good and the waitstaff were attentive.

A group of us went yesterday on a Sunday. Made reservation and would suggest this as I can see this restaurant being busy during regular week. Ordered the baked sea cream fish and tried the lamb too. Both were made. Fish as suspected was very fresh.
The server was very friendly as we requested separate bills with no issues. Would recommend and the ambience was very nice.

Beautiful restaurant, unfortunately the food was abit too salty for my liking.
I had to push the cheese out of my schnitzel.
My pasta was pretty good besides the salt level.
Service is eh at best. Everyone seems rushed. I heard 3 things drop during my time and one of them shattered. It’s ok but I’m sure there are better places
