Vis a Vis by Vincek

Just round the corner from the main branch of Vincek, Zagreb’s most famous ice-cream parlour, this health-conscious offshoot offers an array of cakes and ices that are both gluten-free and made with rice or soya milk instead of cow’s milk. Not that you would know by tasting the treats on offer; standouts such as the refreshing Orange Cake (22Kn) or the more substantial carrot and ginger sponge (16Kn) are not just worth shouting about for dietary reasons. There are only two tables inside but there is a rather lovely outdoor terrace, grandly situated right below the bottom station of Zagreb’s funicular. Vis a Vis’s ice creams come in regular vanilla and chocolate flavours and a number of more inventive alternatives; carrot, almond and ginger being one particular favourite.
