A bit disappointing

We walked past this place and saw they had vegan options.
The options were labelled as vegetarian but the staff explained what was suitable for vegans.
To start we got the vegetarian salad which was great. It came with a vegan meat which had a good texture and worked well with the salad!
Then for mains my partner got the vegetable terrine which was basically just mush formed into a shape. It tasted good but the texture wasn’t great.
Then I got the mushroom and veggie cubes stew - great name lmao. The stew sauce was delicious and the meat pieces were too, however the mushrooms were so tough I couldn’t bite through them. It also came with polenta which was good.

Pros: The polenta , The salad

Cons: Expensive , Uncooked mushrooms, Veggie terrine was mush

Good few vegan options

Nice restaurant and friendly staff, they have a separate veggie/vegan menu - the options are limited but it's generally difficult in Zadar to find vegan options so I was grateful!

I had the polenta & mushroom stew which was nice enough.

Great option if you're travelling with non-vegans

As others have said, they have a separate veggie/vegan menu. You just have to ask. I had the mushroom stew with polenta which was super good. Staff are really friendly too.

Refreshing vegan options

Even though it's not stated anywhere, they do give you a vegetarian/vegan menu when you go sit at a table. There are four options, but all are really refreshing considering Croatia is mostly a meat and fish country. I had the mushroom stew with polenta which was really great! Staff was very friendly too.

Great traditional food

Had the delicious mushroom and polenta dish and it was packed with flavour ! They have a devoted veggie/vegan menu which 5 or so options. I’d imagine they could make stuff on the regular menu veg as well.
Waitstaff were really accomodating and helpful and even gave some recommendations.
Not too expensive and in a really beautiful setting. Would recommend !

Many vegan options

They have a whole vegetarian menu and told me that actually everything on that is vegan as well. The food is not super special but it was really good and great service.

Not worth it

Very limited options, you can ask for pizza without cheese, there’s one vegetarian pasta, and a few options that are basically salad and grilled vegetables which are too expensive (more than 15 euros for a vegetable salad?).
I asked for the pasta that was basically spaghetti with courgette, peppers and aubergine, all undercooked, no flavor at all.
Save your money and go somewhere else.

Pros: Vegan options in a non-vegan restaurant, Pretty location

Cons: Bland , Expensive , Limited options

An excellent variety of food that doesn’t Include pizza, pasta or a burger

Really knowledgeable and friendly staff who know the difference between Vegan and Vegetarian. They aren’t just offering burgers or pasta and then calling themselves vegan friendly. We will come back that’s for sure.

Pros: Vegan options that aren’t generic , Servers who know what Vegan means, Friendly staff

Cons: A wee bit pricey maybe but not budget busting

Nice place, fresh food

Super lovely place to sit and enjoy the city flair.
5 vegan options (in comparison: many non-vegan..).
We waited almost 45min for our dishes, but it was definetly out of fresh vegetables and well prepared.
As an advice: the baked potatoes are a perfect addition to any main meal!
The waiters are totaly friendly, well informed and english-speaking.

Sooo good

Ordered the polenta and mushroom dish. It was so so good. Really good portion size and the mushroom in the sauce tasted amazing. We also had freshly baked bread and oil which was a perfect addition to the meal. The setting was also very nice with classically themed pop songs.

One of the better places with vegan options in town

This restaurant is located near the people’s square and have their own separate vegan/vegetarian menu.

Staff is friendly and knowledgable about veganism. I’ve chosen the mushroom and veggie cubes with polenta (which contains butter) so they’ve swapped the polenta for rice. All tasted delicious!

So do ask the staff if you can make something vegan before ordering.

There are tables outside so you can relax and enjoy the people walking by.

It’s a bit on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion because there aren’t that many restaurants with vegan options in this town.

Pros: Decent vegan options (or can be made vegan), Friendly and fast service , Knowledgable about veganism

Good vegan options in Zadar

The vegetarian menu makes finding vegan options fairly easy. The staff was able to assist in singling out the all vegan dishes.

Pros: A lot of options, Friendly staff

Cons: To salt

Best place in a bad town for vegans

This place is a bit posh and not cheap but the staff are good, there is a separate vegan menu and the food was very fine especially the mushroom polenta dish even if it was a bit stingy on the polenta. The other dishes were interesting and tasty if not large.
But the service is slow or at least was when we were there. So I'd recommend getting the local bread dish with oil and salt as a starter. There are no starters on the vegan menu. But we waited well over 40 minutes for the food to arrive so the bread kept us alive till it did.
Lots of outdoor seating.

Great vegan options in a very carnivore city ;)

The staff is extremely friendly and they know what vegan means.

There's a separate menu with a handful of vegan options like stews, terrines, vegan patty with salad, ...

You can sit outside in a quiet street.

They had tofu!!!

They had a lot of good vegan options, and it was a good location. I would highly recommend it for vegans and vegetarians. One of of only a few restaurants with vegan options in the area, besides basic pasta.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Kind staff, Outdoor seating

Decent vegan oprions

For Croatia is it outstanding with a restaurant that offers actual vegan options on the menu, with a soy based meat substitute nonetheless.

We tried three out four vegan options and they were definitely OK.

Pros: Vegan options on the menu
