Disappointing

I was so excited to see a new vegan place in my home town, but this is beyond disappointing. I ordered the truffle pasta, and the dish tasted of nothing but plain boiled pasta. There were no truffles or any other flavour in the dish at all. I told this to the staff, and while the waitress was nice, the chef was visibly upset at my comment. I was told that there was a problem with the sauce consistency (I don't know how this would impact flavour to be non-existent though).
Despite this proclaimed issue on the restaurant's end (I.e. that I was served a dish with the incorrect sauce), they charged the full price of 22€ for a plate of plain boiled pasta.
I was hoping to return to this restaurant every time I'm in town because it looked so promising, but needless to say I won't be coming back.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Food, Prices, Staff

Makes me feel like Lady and the Tramp in Croatia

Super nice staff, dogs living right next door, and amazing homemade pasta!

Their “cheese” plate is also very good!

Pros: Attentive staff, Takes card, Occasional live music and doggos

Incredible food / staff / presentation

If you told me this place had a Michelin star I’d believe you. We had the burrata appetizer and truffle pasta, and Buffalo wings. All had amazing flavor

Tasty but pricy and small portions

The food was tasty but quite pricy and the portions were too small. I hate going out and leaving a place hungry after ordering a main dish.
I would not go there again.

Way too expensive

18€ for 6 pieces of Sushi is unacceptable!

Delicious food and service

3 diners and 3 dishes. We had great service from Antonio. We ordered the tomato soup as a starter. Beautiful presentation and delicious flavor. We had the sexy tofu, yin Yang sweet potato and the veggie burger. The tofu won but the sweet potato was a close second. The burger was good but I highly recommend the tofu and the tomato soup as top choices. Enjoy!!

Good spot

Tried the sexy tofu and caesar salad, both really delicious. However a tad pricey and service was a bit slow.

Yummy

The staff were friendly and the food was yum! I had the Caesar salad, I really liked the creamy dressing. My boyfriend got the truffle gnocchi, which I tried and was absolutely delicious. we also got a sticky toffee pudding to share for pudding which was very nice although not as rich and sticky as they usually are. Overall a lovely meal

Pros: Creative and unique menu items, Good location, Tasty food

Cons: Sticky toffee pudding not as saucy as expected

Sexy tofu

Wow the sexy tofu is so good. I was afraid it would not be filling but it’s a good portion with veggies. Very tasty. A bit pricey and the location is a bit hidden.
Lovely staff.

Tasty and great options

Stumbled across this place, for brunch we had the mamma mia cashew burrata on toast and the scrambled tofu on seeded bread. Both options very tasty.
For 2 smoothies, 2 juices and 2 brunch plates we paid €82.

Pros: A range of options , 100% vegan

Cons: Very basic design , On the pricey side

Really good food (but expensive)

Somewhat upmarket restaurant with prices to match, but I liked my tofu (which cost 18€, I think?) very much and the presentation was amazing. I'll definitely go again if I ever win the lottery.

The sticky toffee dessert (7€) was decent but I think I could make a better one myself.

Pros: Really good food, Excellent presentation

Cons: Expensive

Good service, otherwise disappointing

Came for the fish tacos, sadly they aren't on the menu anymore this year.
The staff was very friendly and happy to help us, but both the beet root tartar and the burger were disappointing in flavor.
The location in itself is nice, but the furniture and of the restaurant did bring the atmosphere down a bit. More importantly, the interior (flooring, restroom) was uncomfortably dirty, and in the entrance (inside), water from a moldy spot in the ceiling was dripping down on me. 🫥

Enjoyable luch

Took the recommendation of the waiter and we split the two most popular entrees. He was right, they were very good!

Pros: Great food with big proportions, Friendly staff (spoke very good English), Good location in old town of Split

Cons: A little pricey

Worth a visit

Fairly small selection, all vegan, the burger was tasty but a little greasy and the chips are crisps not chips (but that was my error as a Brit abroad 😅). The desserts looked good but I was too full!

Lovely treats

Went here for dinner, the waiters were really lovely and friendly. I had the gnocchi, which would’ve been better if I could have the parmesan on top (it’s not nut-free). My partner had the burger - no chips though, which is a crime.

Pros: Delicious food, Lovely service

Cons: Lot of money for burger with no chips

INCREDIBLE!

oh my GOSH we couldn’t get in here for dinner as were fully booked so we came back for breakfast and it did NOT disappoint. i had the scramble toast and my partner had the acai bowl. the scramble was quite literally the best i’ve ever had. the acai bowl was super yummy too. definitely a must visit if you’re in split. so sad we weren’t here long enough to book in for dinner!
