''We are very satisfied with our two smoke cabinshere at Restaurant Vesuvio. Our guests immediately feelcomfortable, as those who wish to smoke can do so withoutbeing forced out into the street and without bothering ournon-smoking guests. Especially in the evening, guestsenjoy using the cabins, they are often fully occupied byguests enjoying a cigarette with a coffee or glass of wine!

The smoking ban in Denmark has hit many restaurantshard. Many people consider smoking the perfect end toa good meal and are itching to smoke after a couple ofhours. With smoke cabins, we avoid these issues.

Many groups of guests include both smokers and nonsmokers,and as soon as they step inside the restaurant,we used to face the problem of where to seat them, in thesmoking area or the non-smoking area. Naturally, space isat a premium and empty seats cost money. Fortunately,the smoke cabins take up almost no space, and could beinstalled in an area we didn’t use very much.

As non-smokers are quick to point out, cigarette smoke candull the taste of good food. We pride ourselves on makingthe best Italian food in Copenhagen, and we do everythingwe can to optimise our guests’ culinary experience.

Our furniture is exposed to less wear and tear now whensmoke cabins have replaced our old smoking area.

We have had our smoke cabins for more than three yearsand see them as an integral part of the overall environmenthere at Vesuvio. I’m sure word has spread and guestsare choosing to dine at our restaurant because they cansmoke inside the restaurant. There’s no doubt customersatisfaction keeps our earnings base stable.
