Not as expected - Edit
As someone already wrote - didn't quite live up to the expectations we had after reading the great reviews. The service was great when we were seated but it ended there. We waited for a very long time (>1h) for fancy-named but ordinary veggie stew and hummus on toast :/
Read morePros: Fully vegan which is always a plus, Has dessert, Tasty beer
Cons: Basic vegan food, Long waiting time, Bit overpriced for what you get

An adventure in taste! - Edit
Complex, traditional flavours that take you back to your grandma's cuisine yet so innovative. Friendly staff, amazing location, great wines.

Best Place in Croatia - Edit
Zadar as a city is okay but not the burner. The Botanist saves everything! First, the location can't be beat for dining out. The staff is super friendly. Our waiter loves his job, you could tell that and he was really great as a waiter! The food looks great, tastes great (okay, I had to ask for salt) and also fills you up. The prices are absolutely fair for everything you get there. I've been to every big city in Croatia and this is the best restaurant in Croatia I've been to so far!

What a Newcomer - Edit
The Botanist is an amazing addition and fully vegan! We tried the common cockchafer (tasted like roast beef with onions) & the aye-aye Burger and both of them tasted pretty great!

Amazing food! - Edit
Had some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had here at The Botanist. They are an all vegan restaurant and they really have something for everyone here. Highly recommend to both vegans and non-vegans!
Read moreI had the stone of the sea soup, the fillet mignon and cocounut chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was very tasty and the wine that they recommended to me was also very good. I’ll be back again and again and again😄

We ate dinner at the Botanist, and it was a fantastic experience! The food takes you on a tasty journey! We were delighted to buy the local fig vinegar on the table directly from the restaurant since we liked it. The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience wholesome! Super food! Really recommend. If we had stayed in Zadar, we would have come back for a second round. 🌱🥰

Vegan heaven in Zadar - Edit
We dined here for lunch yesterday, and will go back for dinner tonight. It was a delicious meal, and we struggled to make our meal choices because everything sounded intriguing! Hence why we will return to try something else.
Read moreAmbience and service are great - it has a casual fine dining experience (and price tag 🙄), with a lovely garden on the Riva. Spend a long time here, enjoy the food and enjoy the setting.
Food was tasty and really creative. Truly shows how plant-based cuisine can be inventive and more than just salads. We tried the "filet mignon with potato-pave layers of creamy potato chips, baby carrots, beetroot cream, and red wine reduction with chocolate" as well as the "orzotto with beans, zucchini, and asparagus". Both dishes delicious and executed well. Priced high, but we are dining for a cause; more vegan fine dining restaurants please!
Pros: Completely vegan restaurant, Creativity and execution , Ambience and experience
Cons: Expensive , Might be too "meaty" for those put-off by that

A good restaurant - Edit
Very nice location, and a very interesting menu.
Read moreWe liked it, but there is a like bit missing to reach the Nishta in Dubrovnik or the Barakokula in Split; the very last passion and nuances to make a difference.
But anyway: A very good restaurant, very friendly staff.
The desserts are a little bit overpriced, prices for the mains are reasonable.
