Excellent dinner!

The waiter was very friendly and helpful with questions and recommendations! The food was excellent and I plan to return at least one more time before I leave. So many things I still want to try!

Amazing experience

Everything I ate was very tasty. Nice service and good location in the central location in old town. Truffle mushroom pasta was amazing (and I dislike mushrooms a lot), and portions are big enough. A little bit pricey but worth it.

Pros: Good variety of different food, Tasty

Cons: Little bit pricey

Incredible brunch!

Don’t skip the brunch here! The pancakes were gorgeous and the ricotta toast was unlike anything I’d had before. The portions might look small but we were full for hours.

Pros: Interesting food and flavours, Good portion size, Lovely staff

Good food but pricey

The food was very good but also quite pricey.

We had the vegan wings, made from mushrooms, which were good but quite little (ordered a side of fries with it, which was really necessary but costed 6 Euros!)
We also had the truffle pasta which was amazing.

Pros: Great taste, Friendly staff

Cons: Small portions, Very expensive

Nice, calm but very expensive

Had the Buffalo Mushroom Wings.
I like the idea, but the mushrooms were a little bit too dry, and the whole dish missed seasoning.
Portion size was a little bit too small.
The waiter was nice. The location was calm and offered shade.

Pros: All plant based, A lot of options, Calm

Cons: Very expensive

Flavourful

The food we ordered was absolutely delicious, a lot of flavours in every dish. The Yin Yang sweet potato was my boyfriends best food he has ever tasted!

It is pricey but worth the price!

The menu have changed from what we can see in the pictures.

Fancy tasty vegan spot!

I arrived just in time for the main menu at lunchtime. I went for truffle pasta - the pasta tasted freshly made and it was well balanced. Portion size slightly small for me but not a big deal. Staff were friendly and attentive. Overpriced for what it is though imo.

Pros: Truffle pasta, Off the path, Friendly staff

Cons: Price, Too fancy for me

Loved this place!

So pleased to find it has now re-opened. We have been in Split for 3 days and have eaten here every day as the food is soooo good. Gluten free options are available and the 'sexy tofu' was very tasty. Loved it!

Scumptious !

Ths place does good food, stylish and tasty, very tasty. Its not cheap and I wish there had been a bit more bread with the Tapas 42 meal. I think posh places should offer free cheap bread for those of us who like to bulk out the tasty but tiny options. I exaggerate - the portions were not minute!
Tapas 42 had some very nice cheesy bits and a lovely mix of other tastes, textures and tints (colours! - couldn't resist the triple alliteration!) The Splitska Torta was a very sophisticated raw style cake with 'delish' orange cream. The waitress spoke great English and was lovely. I hope to return here and try the Geisha rolls and other exciting looking food their menu offers.

Best vegan restaurant of my holiday!

I loved Barakokula! We had dinner here on our first night in Split and especially the vegan cheese platter was sooo good. The atmosphere was really nice and the staff was exceptionally kind and warm. We loved it so much that we returned for breakfast the next day AND for cake in the afternoon. I highly recommend!

Lovely food

Delicious food, we got 3mains and some sweet potato fries and they were all good. My non vegan cheese loving family loved the vegan cheese platter which is a great bonus!

Pros: Tasty, Fast service, Friendly

Plant based

It is set in a really nice little courtyard. Full plantbased menu, they had a few different options which were pretty good. The service was amazing though and the waitress was so nice.

Good to see some plant based options, not many others

All vegan but not amazing

My friend and I both got the sexy tofu bowl which was pretty good! Got a matcha latte which was meh and got one of the desserts.. can’t remember what it was, but wasn’t a fan. We sat outside and whenever the wind blew, dust or something from the roof would fly down and the first time it happened some fell into our drinks. I covered mine quickly but some got in my friends. We mentioned it to the server and she acted like it was no big deal, it was a bit strange.

Fully vegan restaurant in split

Service was great, food was okay but expensive. Not sure we would go back, although I do always want to support vegan eateries. Would recommend the sexy tofu and the sushi.

High quality vegan food

We had the oyster mushroom buffalo wings and the marinated tofu. The food was very delicious. Definitely a higher price point, but quite average for prices in Split and for that higher quality and better taste than anything else we had in Split.
The waiter was also very nice and polite.

Pros: Taste , Service , Quality

Cons: Price

Best vegan food we had in Croatia

We had dinner at Barakokula, we shared the so'parnik as a starter, then had the sexy tofu and truffle pasta. Everything was delicious! I kind of regretted getting the truffle pasta in hindsight as I thought some of the other dishes could have been more special/unique. We wanted to come back a couple of days later but unfortunately it was fully booked, so I'd recommend booking in advance if you want to be sure to have a spot.

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly service

Miam miam pâtes à la truffe et aux champignons!

Je me suis régalée des pâtes traditionnelles à la truffe et aux champignons. Mon mari a pris la salade avec les « moules » aux champignons, c’était bon mais il y avait un peu de trop de salade.
Je n’avais plus de place pour essayer les desserts. C’est un peu cher.

Pros: Le goût des pâtes en sauce. , Le nombre d’options. , Le fait que tout soit végane.

Cons: Le prix.

A little disappointing:(

The restaurant had a lot of good reviews, so I was excited to go there. Also, because there aren't many vegan restaurants in Split, I had high hopes. The staff was kind, but the place was a little shabby, and the prices were quite costly. However, I was most disappointed by the meals. We had a starter, three different mains (the "no fish," the oyster mushroom salad, and the truffle pasta), and a dessert.

The starter was quite small for the price and sounded way more interesting on the menu than it actually was (like almost all of the dishes, especially the dessert).

The "no fish" was the worst – I do not recommend it. The topping and the potatoes had no flavor at all, and the “fish” part had a weird taste and a purée-like consistency.

The pasta was okay but more like uncooked gnocchi, and the salad a little bland. It felt like a side salad you would get in a "regular" non-veg restaurant, though the oyster mushrooms weren't bad.

I don’t like leaving bad reviews for vegan places, and maybe we just tried the wrong dishes since many other people seemed very pleased with their experience.
