Traditional vibes, extensive menu and wine card and pretty solid food. This place runs like a well oiled machine and it’s pretty successful at it. Starting with the service, they were very friendly and adequately attentive. The food was good, but it could have been a bit better. The steak tartare was well seasoned, zingy and pretty tasty. The presentation leaves a lot to be desired, though. Moreover, I don’t know if they don’t serve it together, but they didn’t give us any butter. The cold cut platter was fine, nothing really special. For mains, I had the grilled lamb with roasted potatoes on the side. The lamb was good, quite tasty, savory and the suitable rosemary flavor in it was really prominent. Some parts were a bit tough and once you picked the meat off the bones, the quantity of the meat itself wasn’t super plentiful. The unexpected star of the dish were the baked potatoes. I don’t know how they prepare them, but they were some of the best baked potatoes I ever had - beautifully seasoned, a bit fatty, charred to perfection. All in all it was pretty apposite. The atmosphere was great, there were many people which is a good sign. I was a bit disappointed that they were out of several dishes I wanted to try before I ordered what I did, but that is of course not their fault and I would gladly come back to try something else.

Tasty generous portions at reasonable prices . The daily special of calamari was perfectly cooked in a light batter- not the slightest bit of grease with excellent flavor. The photo only shows half of the Caprese salad. It was so good that I initially forgot to take a photo. The bread was fresh and chewy. The owner was very solicitous. He offered a menu on an IPad with language choices. Would heartily recommend!

Vircek in Podsused is a gem! The burger—juicy, perfectly grilled, on a toasted bun—was incredible! I thought to order a 2nd even though I was stuffed. Paired it with a crisp Balthazar by Pivovara Medvedgrad that cut through the richness perfectly. The vibe—casual and laid-back—made it a spot I’ll revisit. Top service, great value. Vircek shines!

Cozy spot that really shines thanks to its excellent service. Staff is quick, friendly, and always welcoming. The burger is the star of our menu: juicy, flavorful, and one of the better ones I’ve had in this area. The pasta dishes are decent, though they could use a bit more seasoning to really stand out. The biggest downside is the very limited parking. My tip: leave your car at the nearby Lidl and take a short walk. All in all, Brick n Bite offers good value for money, a great place for a quick bite especially if you’re into burgers.

We had salads, carbonara, burger with truffles and Cevapi. I honestly think this is the best carbonara in Zagreb. They use guanciale. all three dishes were excellent and great service. This place is truly a hidden gem for great food.

The gourmet pljeskavica was excellent, but the kajmak was terrible. It's also a bit disappointing that the patty is served on its own and everything else is charged extra, but never mind. All in all, it was okay. Also, the staff is friendly and the workers are all local, from Croatia, rather than from India or Pakistan, which is a sign that the food is safe and hygiene standards are high.

We came to eat just before our flight back to Holland. Our waiter was extremely friendly, the food was FREAKING amazing!! They even had a singer and someone playing the guitar. We had the rolled chicken and the pasta with truffle. We got a small drink from the house as well. We didnt had the time for a dessert since we had a plane to catch, but if we did we definatelly had the desserts as well.

We came on a busy Saturday afternoon without a reservation and were kindly and promptly offered a place in the closed terrace area. The service was great, the food perfect, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is extremely pleasant! Do not worry if you notice a full parking lot in front of the restaurant, some 20 m ahead along the road and then on the right they have another huge parking lot! Looking forward to come back again.

Tried this restaurant recently. Food was tasty, portions were big, and they've got a kids' room, which is cool. Service was quick, but folks smoking on the terrace was a downer. There was no free non-smoking table inside the restaurant, which was a bit of a downside. Overall, it wasn't bad.

Beautiful cafe and flower shop, a lot of effort put in, innovation in the neighborhood. The terrace is beautifully decorated, a natural garden feel. We will have to wait a while for the construction of the property to be completed. The staff is extremely friendly. Recommended. We are waiting for further developments in the situation...

After 3 weeks of coming to Bloom, my review is here. We've tried several types of dishes so far, so we're not judging based on just one brunch. Each and every dish is truly sensational. Of course, some people find the dish tastier, while others may find it less tasty. Some like their eggs this way, some that way... Yes, there are mistakes, but people have just started working. They try so hard, they pay attention to every detail. It's impossible for them not to make a mistake in such a crowd (small, beginner-level, and negligible). On Saturdays alone, between 10 am and 2 pm, so many people pass through the place, not to mention the afternoon shifts, some go to buy flowers, some want a cake, some look at the bakery products, some just look around, some take pictures, while the rest of the people have come for coffee or brunch, and among them all pass smiling waiters, really hard-working guys. Let's be realistic, you have to do it all with a smile and a good mood, kudos to the entire Bloom Room team, keep it up. A lot of effort has been put into everything, it shows, from the ambiance to the fork and knife. We are happy to finally have a place like this in the neighborhood. We know you will be even better, because we see that you take every comment into account and that is a sign of your greatness. Hats off to Bloom Room! 👌

As someone that has lived in Texas for the last 20+ years I’d say this is definitely a place that resembles a restaurant back in the states! My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and the amazing service that the waitress Mihaela provided! The food was amazing as well! Overall experience was amazing and again a 10/10! If you’re thinking about you should definitely stop by!
