Great family-owned restaurant

One of our favorite restaurants in Croatia. Really amazing food and very kind staff. Everything is home-made and fresh. Try vegan platter and pasta with truffles, our personal favorites. :)

Pros: Home-made tofu and seitan, Hearty soups, You can feel the love :)

Best in town

Artha is hands down the best vega(n) spot in the region Istria. Very friendly staff and the food itself is very tasteful. The soy medaillons were the best of the best.

Pros: Friendly staff, Excellent food

Our best food experience in Istria

Finally we found a vegan restaurant in Istria. Absolutely lovely service, good food, delicious cake and crepes we ate here. They defenitely have a decent vegan menu.
And honestly, in October you can‘t find many Vegan Options in Istria. Sadly Sadly Salt and Pepper in Medulin was closed. So we were very happy to find this lovely place with super lovely service. We would come again. For five star it would need to go into the direction of gault milau and of course it‘s not.

Amazing food

Amazing food - I’d even go as far and say it’s the best vegan food I’ve had, we even came twice within just a few days in the area. All dishes were absolutely delicious, we really loved the Naan bread with hummus and vegetables, the white risotto & truffles pasta, but also really much the soy medaillons and fried tempeh. Cake was good too. The staff is super friendly and dog-friendly, we got a bowl of water without even asking. Definitely recommend going!

Pros: Fully vegan & big choice, Friendly staff, dog-friendly too, Extremely yummy & fair prices

Solidna veganska hrana, nista posebno.

Drugi put sam vec posjetio restoran. Odlinca posluga ali hrana nista posebno. Dobre cijene.

Only vegan Restaurant by now in Porec

3 of the 6 days of our vacation we were in this fantastic restaurant, which is run by a very lovely family, who always welcomed us warmly.
We would have liked to come more often, but unfortunately we were in Pula one day and the other two days the restaurant was closed.

I was able to find out that the family lives partly vegetarian, partly vegan. They know the problems of a very meat-heavy country like Croatia.

The food is always fresh and incredibly delicious. Since it is the only vegan restaurant in the area you may have to wait a bit to find a seat, but it is absolutely worth the wait!

I especially recommend the platter for 2. It has most of the different dishes on it. There should be something for everyone and you get to know some "alternatives" especially as a meat eater.
Personally, the soy medallions just took my breath away! Together with the chickpeas (Legumes) and white rice simply a dream, not only for vegans and vegetarians.
The pasta was right "on point." Both the truffle noodles, as well as the noodles with seitan.

In my opinion, the price / performance ratio clearly outweighs the performance. The prices are in line with those of the surrounding restaurants.
However, you can taste the love that is put into the dishes, which is why we were happy to tip a little more on the last day.

Very nice little place

Very friendly staff, almost all dishes are vegan (I think the ice cream was not). We once had the veggie platter for two and the second time risotto and a dish with noodles. Everything was quite good! The seitan salad that we also had was delicious. For coffee there is soy milk. Better come a bit before they open since there's a limited number of tables.

Pros: Almost all dishes are vegan, Lots of options

Cons: Quite small and doesn't take reservations

once more very happy to be here

The dinner here at Artha has been more than a perfect compensation for all the way cycling the Parenzana Route to Porec. Maybe it sounds crazy, but every time i come here it feels a little bit more like "coming home", hope to be blessed with the fortune to be here again very soon.

Pros: wonderful people, very positive atmosphere, tasty vegan food

Cons: too far away from home

Fantastico, super.

Tutto vegano, e tutto delizioso! Ho provato quasi tutto il menù e non sono mai rimasta delusa. Prezzi nella norma e porzioni abbondanti. Davvero un posto speciale. Dolce della casa sempre diverso, costo bassissimo.

Schmeckt ganz gut

Nettes, kleines Restaurant. Am Abend relativ voll, aber drinnen war noch ein Tisch frei.

Der Salat mit Tofu war super, die Grillplatte für zwei auch. Diese besteht aus gegrilltem Tofu, Sojamedaillons, Gemüselaibchen, Seitan in Tempura, sowie vier Beilagen. Hier war vor allem der Reis dominant, dazu gab es Bohnen in Gempsesauce, Grillgemüse und Spinat mit Kartoffeln.

Toll wäre es, wenn man bei der Beilage eine Wahlmöglichkeit hat. Statt dem Reis wären mir Kartoffeln lieber gewesen

Pros: Alles vegan außer das Eis und mancher Kuchen

Cons: Keine

Extraordinary vegan food and owners :)

We love going there, the food is great, the owners are wonderful 🥰 they make tofu, seitan and vegetable fritters themselves.
This in the photo is a veggie platter (for two) - seitan in tempura, vegetable fritters, soy steaks, tofu, grilled vegetables, legumes, rice, swiss chard with potatoes (the third photo is a platter, the first photo is all arranged on a plate 😁), plus an extra serving of tofu in tempura (second photo).Their menu is really diverse, it has everything 🥰 from appetizers (naan with hummus), soups, pasta, rice, various salads ... to veggie platter (our favourite).
Be sure to visit when you are nearby ❤️

Sehr leckeres Essen und gute Auswahl, 3x dort gewesen

18.07.21:
Wir hatten einen kleinen saisonalen Salat (super leckeres Dressing) mit Tomaten, Gurken, Rotkraut und Blattsalat sowie eine Tagessuppe mit roter Beete und Süßkartoffeln (super Kombination, muss ich demnächst selbst probieren). Als Hauptspeise gab es den Vege Platter für 2 Personen. Dieser enthält soweit ich überblicken konnte alle Hauptgerichte und alle Beilagen (Reis, Kichererbsen, gebratenes Gemüse und Spinat mit Kartoffeln). Bis auf die etwas fade Kartoffel-Spinat Beilage waren diese alle sehr gut. Die Hauptgerichte haben alle überzeugt, insbesondere Tempeh und Tofu im Knuspermantel.

Wir kommen für einen Nachtisch ein anderes Mal wieder, da leider nichts mehr reinging.

Preis Leistung war auch top. Sogar eine Auswahl an 100%igen Säften und Craft Beer gab es!

Sehr freundliches Personal/Besitzer. Sprechen problemlos deutsch und englisch.

Update 20.Juli 2021:
Waren das zweite Mal da. Erneut alles super lecker und frisch. Bruscetta super leckeres Brot und saftige Tomaten. Weißes Risotto war auch gut. Mediterrane Nudeln mit Rosmarin und Oliven einfach der Hammer. Tempeh in Tempurah war auch sehr gut und mit bisschen extrem leckerem Hummus garniert. Einer der besten Hummus, den ich je hatte. Haben uns noch zwei (sehr günstige) Kuchen einpacken lassen. Diese waren auch ziemlich lecker und mal was anderes.

Update 22. Juli:
Wir können es nicht lassen. Das dritte Mal hier. Erneut alles sehr überzeugend. Zwei hausgemachte Limos, Gemüse auf Naan Brot mit Hummus und eine Blumenkohl Creme Suppe als Vorspeise. Als Hauptgang Trüffel Pasta (ich liebe Trüffel!) und Seitan in Tempurah. Hier war ein sau leckerer Dip dabei (Hummus mit Senf oder ähnliches, leider vergessen zu fragen). Als Nachtisch noch Pancakes mit Karamell, Schokolade und Nüssen. Ganz okay. Und wie immer: einen guten Tageskuchen zum Mitnehmen.

Wir werden den Laden vermissen :D

Pros: Auswahl, Geschmack, Preis

Cons: Beilage Spinat-Kartoffel wenig gewürzt , Nur Barzahlung

Etwas enttäuscht…

Aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen bin ich mit meiner Familie zum zweiten Mal (nach 4 Jahren) dort wieder eingekehrt.
Die Trüffelpasta schmeckten „langweilig“.
Der gemischte Salat und die Bruscchetta waren ok.
Die Veggie-Platte für 2 Personen sah gut aus. Doch das war‘s leider auch. Alles schmeckte sehr ähnlich. Es fehlte z. Bsp. Hummus und frische Gewürze wie Koriander, Minze etc.

Pros: viele vegane Optionen, sehr freundliche Kellnerin

Cons: geschmacklich alles keine Offenbarungen

Perfect homemade food

For vegans it's perfect place. The owner, she knows to speak perfectly in many languages. They're very kind and helpful. The meal was delicious, we bought the plate for two, excellent. You have to try.

Pros: Huge menu, as they say, 90% completely homemade, Very good combinations of beans and cereals

Incredible food and people

I went here to have a brunch today, and it was so much better than I could have wished for. I had the bruschetta, soup, artha risotto and cake of today, and it's one of the best meals I've had during my time in Croatia. It beats everything in Zagreb on quality and price.

The staff is truly amazing. It's a family running the business, and all of them are such nice people. Go there and support them with hundreds of kunas, because I can promise you they will make your day.

Pros: Everything, food, price, staff

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Kind staff & delicious food

It’s always nice to support fully vegan restaurants. The restaurant is family run and they are very kind. The food is yummy, aesthetically served and not expensive. Definitely number 1 place for vegans in the area.

Pros: Fully vegan menu, lots of choice, Not expensive, Good and “pretty” food

Cons: Can’t pay with credit card or euros, Small terrace because of corona restrictions

Yum, yum, and yum!!

What a great place… Everything we ordered, from the celery soup with the naan bread and hummus, to the vegan patties and both salads, all of it was delicious! So nice being able to order without worrying about diet restrictions! If you’re vegan/plant-based and in the area, definitely worth a visit!
Only downfall was no acceptance of credit card- would have ordered more, and a couple “to go” items for dinner :(

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Super nice service, Speaks English

Cons: Doesn’t accept credit cards
