Vegan options on a pretty square in Hvar

Asian food with some vg options in Hvar.

There are a few vegan options on the menu/ they are tasty enough.

Pretty busy, but friendly staff.

Pros: Central location , Friendly staff, Large portions

Cons: Pricey , Vegan options aren’t labelled

Limited but welcome choice

Croatia isn’t overflowing with vegan options so nice to find this restaurant in a pretty square on Hvar. Food is tasty.

Tasty but pretty overpriced

Had the vegan pad thai which was delicious but the prices are hefty. The staff was pretty nice though. Would recommend if you ever make it to Hvar.

Pros: Delicious, Easy to reach

Cons: Way too expensive

Great food

I believe there are 3 vegan options. I Had Pad Thai. I explicitly asked if there was no fish sauce in it. The waitress was aware of what vegan means and assured me that there was none in it so I enjoyed my dinner. I even forgot to take a photo🙈

Pros: Great taste

Cons: A bit pricey

Vegan options misleading- given nasi goreng with chicken

The staff agreed that they could do vegan nasi goreng (with tofu, and without oyster sauce, fish sauce, egg, chicken). When it arrived there was 2 pieces of tofu, and very clearly a few pieces of chicken. Another guest with us ordered the standard nasi goreng and it very clearly was made the same and they had removed some chicken rather than making fresh. Only noticed after beginning the meal as guidance was very clear. When it was pointed out to the staff they said that there was no chicken in it. Then they were going to remake it but felt unwell to eat. Explained this and the waitress was very rude and defensive and said we had to have and pay for it as we ordered. She went to speak to the manager who agreed to remove it. Very bad service and would not trust for any food requirements, clearly uncaring.

Lots of Vegan Options

Cool restaurant, Spice asian restaurant and italian/local cusine Hannibal restaurant attached together where you can order off either menu. Both have vegetarian sections of their menu with multiple being vegan too. Got tofu pad thai which was naturally vegan and very delicious! Veggie gyoza was vegan too and very yummy. Would recommend!

Pros: Lots of options, Asian and Italian/Local Combined, Tasty fresh food

Cons: Busy area, Serves lots of non vegan options, Only outdoor seating

Really good vegan options

This is actually two restaurants sharing a kitchen so you can choose between the menu of Spice (Asian) or Hanibal (Italian). We had the veg pad Thai with spring rolls. They were able to make sure it was made vegan for us (so no fish sauce) and it was incredibly tasty. I could have eaten another bowl if I wasn’t so full! The staff were really friendly and understood what we meant by vegan, asking specifically when we ordered from the vegetarian menu (both menus had vegetarian sections) whether we wanted our food vegan or were happy with fish sauce. A lovely spot to eat near the port but out of the main bustle of the street.

Pros: Helpful understanding staff, Delicious!

Happy to cater for the V-gang.

Very catered for vegans. Although not a vegan restaurant they are very used to us v-gang and happy to make a lot of things vegan. Also, with my partner being gluten free, they were also happy to make things gf too, even if off-menu.

Pros: Can make any of the Veg option vegan, Happy to make things gluten free, Friendly service

More vegan options

At Spice they have a number of vegan options including spring rolls, pasta and two vegan curries. I took one of the curries. Unfortunately, there was little taste. The vegetables and tofu were nice. The spring rolls on the other hand were very tasty!

Delicious Tofu Pad Thai!

They had a few other options , as the waiter said they could remove the fish sauce from the veggie Thai curries.

Pros: Delicious taste

Cons: Portion was very small , A little expensive as it’s in the main square

Veg-Asia

Wegen der gesonderten vegetarischen Speisekarte wurde die Auswahl zu veganen Gerichten sehr vereinfacht. Leichte Anpassungen notwendig, allerdings völlig unproblematisch. Auf weitere Allergien (Hülsenfrüchte) geachtet. Interessiert an Wünsche/Bedenken des Gasts.

Pros: Vegane Varianten möglich, Personal interessiert Wünsche zu erfüllen, Zentral am Hafen

Cons: Kann windig werden (Decken vorhanden)

It was alright

We were happy to find that there was a separate vegetarian menu even though there was some starter with chicken and shrimp on it.
We both had the vegan pad Thai and the spring rolls.
In retrospect I’m not really sure if the spring rolls were vegan. I’ve mistaken them for summer rolls which is my bad, so you might have to ask.

We didn’t really like the pad Thai that much. Something tasted kinda off and the tofu was not really flavorful. The prices were alright though and we weren’t hungry anymore!

Pros: Alright prices , Friendly staff

Cons: Something tasted off , Non vegetarian items on vegetarian menu

Good!

Tofu pad Thai was very good, red curry was what you would expect- not special but good. We asked for more rice with the curry for free and got it. Location is very nice in the main square but seems understaffed and no working wifi. If you’re looking for Asian food, this is a great option. If you want tap water, make sure you specify so you don’t end up with an expensive bottle of Jamnica!

Pros: Great tofu pad Thai

Cons: Wifi doesn’t work

Great Thai food

Great Tofu Pad Thai - up there with some of the best I’ve ever had, including in Thailand. Lots of vegan-friendly veg curries to choose from too, but just the one starter I think (veg spring rolls) and no dessert. Service wasn’t bad on the whole, though we did have to ask twice for our drinks so not great...

Pros: 5-6 vegan mains , Reasonably priced, Good cocktails

Cons: Only 1 vegan starter, No vegan dessert

Yummy scrummy food

Has about 5 or 6 vegan options all under vegetarian menu, had pad tai and Thai red curry both brilliant. Can also assure that the cocktails are top notch.

I hope the owner reads this...

We had the green curry with tofu and tofu pad thai. Average food. Could maybe consider going back for the food, but the service was too bad (staff seemed idle and unavailable in a half full restaurants, borderline rude), so it’s less than tempting.

Very good food, several vegan options

We had the red curry and it was very tasty. They have several other vegan meals, although not labeled as vegan (spring rolls, other Currys, salads, etc.). The food was served within minutes.

Pros: Short waiting time, Not very expensive

Food ok but extra charge for spicy food

Since pad thai was served without chiliflakes we asked for spices. Minus for extra cahrged without noticing. The small gestures makes the whole picture...

Cons: Average food, extra charging for common spices

Decent food but limited vegan options

Despite having the word 'vegetarian' on the front page of the menu, we were told there were only 3 things that could be made vegan/vegetarian and that all the Thai curries had shrimp paste in them, unlike what previous reviews mentioned. We had a pad Thai, nasi goreng and gado gado salad. The noodles and rice had a pretty good flavor to them and were a decent portion size too.

Pros: Portion size, Flavor

Cons: Limited options

Nice asian food in a stunning place

I love asian food and this restaurant was not disappointing, quite the opposite. We ordered a curry and a pad thai, both with vegetables and tofu, and it was delicious (could be a bit more spicy). The service was impeccable, people were very friendly and even offered us some blankets because the wind was a bit cold.

Excellent service, very good food

Our waiter was super service oriented and made sure we were happy all the way. I asked if I could have tofu in my green curry the answer was “You can get as much tofu in any dish you want” and then he asked if I was vegan and offered me yellow curry because in other curry’s they use fish sauce. The portions were huge and we left happily with our food babies ;)

Pros: Exellent service, Vegan food prepared when asked
