Fodor's Travel

"Vinodol is an elegant spot locals flock to when they hanker for traditional meaty fare zagorska juha (Zagorje-style potato soup with ham and mushrooms)."

"The octopus salad was a great start. In Vinodol, they do not mix it with potatoes, but serve a large amount of ideally cooked and chilled octopus in a discreet accompaniment of tomatoes and arugula, with a bit of onion and lemon on the side. It is up to the guest to spice up the octopus as desired and raise the tentacles up for this minimalistically perfect salad experience."

Vana Babić

"Vinodol is particularly proud of its cooperation with small producers, including OPG Pečnik, which supplies them with great fresh cheese they use to make their Štrukli. In Vinodol, the dough is rolled up by hand, and Štrukli especially are the reason for arrival of many regular guests."

Time Out Croatia

"Tuck into traditional winter fare such as sarma (stuffed cabbage leaves) at a traditional Zagreb restaurant such as Vinodol."

Punkufer

"Zagreb restaurant in which sarma is brought to perfection."

Kult Plave Kamenice

"Sarmas are served on a thin spread of a silky potato puree. They aren't stuffed with a mixture of pork and beef as the tradition in northwest Croatia demands, but pure beef, on what we can congratulate them. This season Vinodol's sarma is the most subtle version of the cult dish that we saw and try in Zagreb restaurants."

"The Best Dishes You Can Currently Try in Zagreb: Octopus Salad in Vinodol - If you are in the city center and want to eat something homemade and high quality, the Vinodol restaurant is probably your first choice. It's a restaurant that doesn't need to prove itself to anyone anymore - whatever they do, they do it great and there's no reason to doubt that it won't continue. We decided to recommend you a lighter and tastier dish - octopus salad with potatoes and Pag cheese."

Jonathan Bousfield

"Best for: Vinodol is one of the best places in town to tuck into a dish of baked štrukli, although you can’t really go wrong whatever you order."

Molly Harris

"Sarma typically is served during the season, November to March, and is incredibly tender and flavourful."

Ema Glavina

"Sarma, without any exaggeration, was the best we've tried in the last couple of years, the flavors were perfectly combined, from meat to sauerkraut and creamy potato puree."
