Best vegan dinner of the holiday - Edit
Het voorgerecht dat we deelden (tartaar) was subliem verassend, het bolletje ijs was onverwacht maar wat een combinatie. Heerlijk. De hoofdschotel Spinny lumpsuce was meer dan voldoende. Het vlees was niet van echt te onderscheiden. We hebben echt super genoten van deze avond. Niet goedkoop (naar kroatische normen) maar elke euro waard.

Huge surprise - Edit
I was happy to see that there is this one fully vegan restaurant in Zadar, but did I expect it to be the fanciest place I have ever eaten in? Not at all. The level of creativity and visual side of the dishes were absolutely amazing. The „filet mignon” was the meatiest thing I have eaten since I went vegetarian. Location is great, prices are reasonable for what you get. Definitely a must-eat when in Zadar.

We must protect this place at all costs - Edit
I visited twice and I can't fault this place - yes it's pricey if you order from the mains (though I find the pastas etc reasonably priced), but the staff are wonderful, the food and drinks amazing, location great.

the vegans choice in zadar - Edit
Variety and number of options are top, taste is top, service is top, location and view are top!
Read moreI would only love to have more information about the food in the menu. As it says "meat" and "fish" we were very confused. The staff told us in a horrific speed which meal numbers are made out of what, impossible to remember. Same with sauces and other ingredients like vegetable sorts, you get told when served the meals. Nevertheless, great experience!
We had the burgers, one with Beyond Meat Patty with Mayonaisse and the Chickpeas&Peas Burger with mediterainian sauce. Both come qith very delicious fries. As a starter we had the chickpea bread, which reminded me of polenta. Full recommendation!
Pros: great options, delicious taste, wonderful view
Cons: very little information bout the dishes in the men

Amazing dinner experience - Edit
From start to finish just awesome! First of all the service. Our waiter was the nicest person, with perfect recommendations, knowledge about their meals and their background and he seemed like he is having the time of his life serving us! For starters we got the tomato soup and the mushroom tartar. Both amazing and nothing to dislike. Main courses were the „fish“ and the „steak“. Both more than solid! Texture and taste were on point! As recommended we shared the salad with fried „meat“. Enough for both and awesome dressing! Our waiter told us, that even the Balsamico is local and got awarded for its taste (i‘d award it too, soo delicious!). As recommended we shared a white chocolate - blueberry tart as dessert and were both overwhelmed. The prices were totally reasonable and affordable. We went there because it is my birthday so we were expecting to pay a good price. All in all just a perfect way to celebrate anything or just to get a nice dinner! 10/10

Absolutely, unbelievably good - Edit
Perfect soup, delicious light meals, very nice-looking burgers. I couldn't believe the 'meat' was vegan. Desserts were perfect, too. If you're in Zadar, I absolutely recommend. Also, the staff was very polite and helpful.

Best vegan food! - Edit
Lovely experience eating at the botanist! The place and staff was nice, and the food was insanely good! I love how it was not just boring meat substitutes and the menu card was similar to other non-vegan restaurants. Great experience and delicious food!

Nice to see a fully vegan restaurant - Edit
We had dinner at The Botonist and overall enjoyed the food. For starters we shared the Blu Footed Booby salad which was really good. Slightly smoky with a tasty creamy dressing. The fried meat indicated on the menu turned out to be more like pieces of vegan chik’n fingers, but tasty still. For mains we had the OLM faux fish and the Common Cockchafer pasta with goulash. The OLM looked super impressive with pieces of faux fish on a bed of Swiss chard and creamy cauliflower mash. The cockchafer was large pieces of faux meat over pasta with a plum gravy. Because of the plums, the goulash was sweet and a bit of a surprise since plums weren’t included in the description on the menu. The faux meat was on the chewy side. For dessert we had a coconut cake which was good if a bit dry. Others in our party had the flatbread and cynical Quaker pasta which they said were both really good, and the Aha ha green burger which had a strong flavour of cumin. There were definitely enough good dishes on the menu that it make this restaurant worth visiting.

Best Vegan Food Ever! - Edit
What a wonderful experience - went on a date night during a holiday in Zadar. The food was incredible, I tried the "dik dik" - a vegan filet mignon style dish. The food, wine and dessert were all amazing, as well as the service from our server Miloŝ. If you're in Zadar, do not miss out on this place!

Great food and beautiful service - Edit
Super excited to tell that it is one of the best places I have ever been. Food presentation was the best, we had 4 dishes from the main dish menu. All of them were savory and full of delicious flavors. Presentation of the food way you never forget. The restaurant concept is unique and special. Beautiful atmosphere and fabulous view, you can see the sunset. I would leave pics of the food. It is pricey but it is worth it. Desserts are out of the world

Just amazing - Edit
I had the pasta (lemon and almonds) which although a small portion was very tasty. My son had the Aye-Aye meat burger which he loved. I had the cake of the day which was a bounty style cashew cream dessert. Delicious. The waitress was super friendly and kind. I failed to get decent pics but I think we'll return tomorrow because it was that good!
