Lovely hidden restaurant - Edit
Vegan options clearly labeled. Atmosphere is very nice and the food was excellent. The restaurant is kind of inconspicuous and hard to find because there is no obvious sign, but I do definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. It’s quite close to Uffizi Gallery as well.

The Best Food in Florence - Edit
We ate here for dinner and had the 3-course special for 15 euros. The food was creative and beautiful and the portions were generous. I had a tangy shaved salad, curry tomato pasta, and the seitan masala special. They have a nice wine list. The menu is not all vegan, but all the vegan options are clearly marked and there are plenty of choices. Every table was full -- make reservations so you don't miss out! The dining room is set in a library and is very cozy -- like you are eating in a secret dining room in the back of the building. A definite must while you are in Florence!

Great vegan food in a cute cafe - Edit
We loved the vegan food and the lovely atmosphere. You can order 1 salad, 1 pasta, and 1 baked item or special together on a plate. The tortelloni with potato and ginger was the biggest hit at our table. If you see tortelloni on the menu, don’t miss out!

Fantastic vegan food - Edit
I had an amazing lunch here recently and the food was so delicious! I tried the potato and ginger tortellini and WOW what an amazing flavour combination! The vegan cake (I think it was apple) was nice and soft, and a generous serving. The waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was very nice. One of my favourite places in Florence!

Full of flavour! - Edit
I chose the plate with a salad, baked dish and pasta. The flavours were so strong and I could actually taste the freshness of the ingredients. It was a nice place to sit and have something to eat too. Only 1 vegan option in the baked section of the menu but fortunately this was the item I wanted anyway.

Brac gets everything right - Edit
Huge portions, good prices, great food, nice decor, friendly staff, and a menu option allowing you to try a salad, first and second course all for a reasonable price.
Read moreThe spaghetti with fennel, raisins and breadcrumbs was a unique and surprising combination which proved to be my favorite food I tried there, followed close by the lasagna.
The flatbreads come with generous amounts of gooey cheese, and were not like anything I have tried before.
The first and second courses were so good that I can overlook the salads--a mediocre creamy beet salad and an avocado carpaccio anchored in a dollop of chunky hummus.
Well worth a stop while in Florence.
Pros: Great menu allows you to try three separate course, Delicious Food, Good price
Cons: Not-so-great salads

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere - Edit
My partner and I both got the lunch special where you can choose 3 menu items - salad, first course, and main course - for 15 Euros. It is all brought to you at once on the same plate - so you'll have to wait a bit for everything to be made.
Read moreThe food was delicious - I had a sliced avocado salad, lasagna made with fresh pasta, and type of bread with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and eggplant on it (pizza-ish but with a different dough). My partner got a beet salad which he did not love, as well as the same pizza-ish dish and spaghetti with several interesting ingredients that I cannot recall, which he enjoyed.
Also we asked about the rennet - and they said all cheeses used are made with vegetarian rennet.
The restaurant also has a selection of books (I think it may also be a bookstore) so it was fun to browse the books while we waited for the food. It had a lovely ambiance overall.
Pros: Delicious food, Nice ambiance, Large portions

Make sure you reserve a table, it's definitely worth it! - Edit
€15 for a selection of three dishes (salad, pasta/rice a baked dish) on one plate. The flavours and presentation are amazing. Service is perfect. Lovely setting. Highly recommended. Plenty of options for both veggie and vegan.

Almost missed it! - Edit
This place is super small but very charming! The owner/hostess speaks fluent in English and was very helpful explaining the menu (keep flipping until you get to the English translation) and suggesting wine. Because the place is so small, make sure to make reservations, we did not but watched a lot of people get turned away. The food was amazing!!! Beautiful presentation and full of flavor! I made a mixed plate with crudités, tagliatelle with fall vegetables and a falafel dish. It was incredible!!!

food was good - Edit
It's an interesting idea of a restaurant inside a bookstore. Artsy and cool.
Read moreFew vegan dishes.
Their suggestion is to get the single dish which has 3 dishes of choice from the salad, Pasta or rice and baked dish menu. We had the mezze maniche with Chickpea cream and eggplant and tomatoes and it was delicious! The avocado salad and the thin bread with marinara sauce were as good.
The only problem is that reservation were required, and we didn't know it, and the place was closed in the middle of the day for summer hours. It opened at 6:30 and the kitchen opened at 7... we waited at least 45 minutes to get the food. But it was worth it.
Pros: delicious food
Cons: reservations required. summer hours: closed 4-6:30

better to make a reservation - Edit
My friend and I went there without a reservation and luckily we could still eat there but I think it's better to reservate. We took the “dolce pattata al forno“ and it was superb! But not if you're very hungry ;) then it would be better to take the menu or the spaghetti, saw those on a different table - looked delicious and were big portions

Great atmosphere, great food - Edit
This was a hard to find spot, but so worth the hunt! The food was delicious. I had the malai kofta (could have eaten an entire dish of this), a green salad, and the tortellini with ginger (can't recall the exact name). I didn't care for the tortellini, as the ginger taste was too strong, but everything else was incredible.
Read moreAlso tried the chittarra aglio, olio e pomodorini secchi. (Hopefully I spelled all that right...). For such a simple dish it was bursting with flavor and I'd get that next time.
Pros: Atmosphere (quiet, books), Friendly staff, Great food
Cons: hard to find

Nice food but... - Edit
But the service...So disappointed. My husband and I choose a table but the waitress asked us for change because it was a place for three. Fell minutes later another couple arrived and took "the three place".
Read moreI asked to the waitress if I could find a vegan shop in Florence to buy food, make up, etc. She told me it doesn't exist! It's not true. Specially because the shop we visited before gave us this restaurant adresse. What is happening in Florence between the vegan community? We should support each other not the contrary!
Pros: food
Cons: service

Cute, trendy atmosphere, limited vegan options - Edit
Nice ambience and beautiful presentation but we would have preferred more vegan options at a veg restaurant. We did like that they had an option to order three things and combine them on one plate, so between my partner and I, we got to try most of the vegan options. Definitely book in advance because it’s very small and gets packed. We were turned away for dinner one night but were able to book a reservation for lunch the next day.
