Best vegan option in the area

The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, there is a nice story behind the opening of the restaurant. The location is ideal, right next to the sea. The whole menu is vegan and described in much detail. The food was great, wide selection of local cuisine. It is a bit on the expensive side - each dish is around 15-20€ - but honestly worth it.

Delicious!

What a gem! The terrace overlooking the sea is a very nice place to sit!
We ordered a Aye Aye Burger and a Mata Mata Burger. Both were delicious! One more classic and comfort food (beyond meat burger) and the other more culinary with a tasty flavor combination along side the beetroot burger. We’re aiming to go back tomorrow to try some more goodness!

Edit:
Went back today for the Olm and Cynical Quaker. Up there with the best vegan dishes we had! Happy we had a second day to eat here :)
The bounty cheese cake was very good too!

The best!

We love this place. It's by the water with a lovely terrace. We've eaten several things on the menu including the bounty cake, the burgers and the
"fish" made from tofu, nori and rice paper. Everything was fantastic.

Wow!

Amazing vegan dishes. Pricey but absolutely tasty and worth every euro. Fine vegan dining at its best plus an amazing view if you are sitting in the outside area. Absolutely recommendable!

Perfect

The food, the staff, the prices - everything was just 5/5.
You always get a little chefs greeting prior to the food, which was a nice and welcoming gesture.

We’d always go there again. Cant recommend this restaurant enough!!

Yum Salad

Good salad. Service was very average.

Don’t get any of the fresh juices or homemade lemonade.

Amazing spin on traditional cuisine

This was some of the best veganized traditional european cuisine I’ve ever had. The staff was lovely and the location is great. All of our dining party had the beef Wellington and it was honestly worth the price, and very filling. Big recommend, especially since european (and Croatian) cuisine places are very rare.

Pros: Food, Staff, Atmosphere

Cons: Bit expensive, but worth

Tasty raw zucchini pasta

Menu is all vegan. A bit pricey but worth it as it is very tasty! Dishes fairly small. Beautiful restaurant inside and outside by the water. Friendly staff!

This place blew my mind!

We had an incredible experience here, we had to come back again for dinner the next night. The seating area out front looks out to the water and the setting sun, there was live music in the restaurant which created a beautiful ambiance. The staff were friendly, helpful, and passionate about the cause, easy to talk to, super professional, knowledgeable and loved to joke around too. THE FOOD was so good, I was recommended to try the Dik-Dik and It was perfection!! Looked so good, tasted incredible, the meat substitute texture and taste was just wow!! The drinks were fresh, The Puddingwife and the Flamingo Tongue Snail were both great and the Aye Aye Burger was yum but had a blue cheese kind of taste in the sauce which put off my friend, but is an acquired taste. Incredible experience and would come back for it!

Amazing food in a really nice atmosphere

This was my first experience with kind of vegan fine dining and I enjoyed it a lot. The staff is really nice and explains everything. It was hard to make a decision what to eat since everything on the menu sounds delicious! I choose the goulash and the sauce was made in heaven. The cheesecake was really good as well. The prices for the food are a little bit higher but absolutely worth it. I will come back!
Edit: I came back two times because it was so good and I wanted to try more. The burgers are good but you should eat something else when you are here because the other things are extraordinary tasty and good looking!

Excellent food and service, so good that we came back the next day for lunch. Would highly recommend to both vegans and non vegans.
It’s good that they don’t rely on fake meat but rather great well prepared food.

Dinner with family

Environment and the service was perfect! But we expected a bit more taste considering the money we paid.

Pros: Very elegant and cosy environment!, Very friendly and helpful service!, I liked the portobello

Cons: Gnocchi didn’t match with the sauce , Aye aye burgers to much bread and not so tasty , Mata mata was just okay and to pricey
