30. May – 1. June 2014: Kaptol Restoran @ The Westin Zagreb
Breakfast at an SPG hotel is always more or less the same – and again this time the breakfast selection was good as always ranging from cold cuts …
… to fresh fruit …
… offering various juices (including something called bilberry juice I have never tried before in my life and which is quite tasty …
… as well as cottage cheeses, mozzarella and tomatoes, cold mixed vegetables …
… cheeses …
… mustard, typical Croatian pepper spread …
… as well as a variety of breads, cereals, jams, and honeys …
… and last but not least a couple of warm dishes like Japanese tea eggs, spring rolls, scrambled egg, sausages, and bacon. Overall, the dishes are tasty and aromatic. Only there were not too many local dishes which was a bit of a disapointment.
Atmosphere-wise, the Kaptol Restoran is okay, nothing overwhelming but it does the trick. With regards to the service I was not entirely pleased. When I had asked for my green tea I was told “tea is over there” and the waiter pointed at the tea area. Well, thank you, I am well aware where the tea is located but I asked you to bring me one. Funnily enough, the first day when I had asked for my tea, I was given it without any comment, the second day I was referred to the tea area but the superior of the waiter walked by in the same moment and told him something in Croatian (which sounded to me like: Dude, just fucking do it!) and I was served my tea. The third day there was no superior walking by that very moment and I finally had to get my own tea. However, all in all, the breakfast at the Kaptol Restoran is good but not worth going for brunch on a Sunday.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
