Very good

Can recommend, I had a traditional starter and Fries and two sauces, was very good. Would like to try more there, could't decide :)
Lovely location "in" the Walls!

Delicious, filling, large portions

The menu was creative and varied, including sophisticated tofu, sushi, and pasta dishes. All was delicious (albeit a little sweet potato heavy!) not all dishes have sufficient protein, but some do. Delicious! We enjoyed the homemade drinks (lemonade).

Now that’s a burger!

To start we had the So Parnik which was yummy. Then I had the Buns N Roses Burger and my husband the Buffalo Wings. The burger was kind of different (which made it interesting) big and really good. Our waiter Julio did an excellent job taking care of us.

Perfect for a quick bite

The So Parnik (a typical local dish) was absolutely amazing. Simple food, though much flavour and very comforting.

I wasn't overwhelmed by the faux-burrata dish and the cocktails though. The mayonaise was laughable. Meaning: very not mayonaise-like but more an herby sauce. But yeah, I'm Dutch so typically I drown my fries in that [censored] (hence: I know mayo very well).

Advice: bring a nice, warm sweater since there are few seats inside. The terrace has a "roof", so you're dry when it rains, but it has the outside temperature.

My buffulo mushroom were okay. You don’t really taste the mushrooms from all the breading, also didn’t really taste the buffalo sauce if there was any. My mum order the sushi which was great.

Best Meal In Split So Far

Lovely to find an all vegan restaurant in Split with friendly staff. Prices are a little bit high but you’re paying for the location and freshly made food. Has the pasta for main and it was so good I’ll be going back, wife had the burger which she said was also good. Similar to a few reviews below the desserts were only okay. Still highly recommend - get the pasta.

Prima

Opzich wel lekker, maar prijzig. Ik had de buffalo wings geprobeerd: lekkere bite, maar ik vond het wel erg vettig en wat flauw kwa smaak. Ook stond dit als hoofdgerecht op de kaart, maar wij hadden het als voorgerecht besteld want ik vond het best weinig. De truffel pasta vond ik wel erg lekker. De burrata vond ik zelf niet heel lekker, het brood erbij was ook heel vettig. De burger was prima, maar ook hierbij was het brood weer erg vettig. Personeel was gewoon vriendelijk. Al met al dus best prima, maar voor de prijs had ik beter verwacht.

Best vegan restaurant in Croatia

Dined here twice on 2 separate trips. As a vegan chef the balance of flavours and variety were excellent. We all thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. And great staff. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, but not cheap.

The venue is in a lovely prime location. Other comments mentioned a very loud bar next door but when we went at lunch time we didn't find this at all - simply a few old boys sitting at the bar chatting.

It was lovely finding a wholly plant based establishment with a variety of options to choose from. Albeit all three of us ordered the same (buffalo wings) which were lovely.

Service could've been better - despite us all ordering literally the same (wings with a side of fries) they managed to forget one of the fries. Also I found generally in Croatia places didn't ask if you wanted any sauces (with fries) and despite asking for ketchup this never materialised.

Prices were at the high end, especially for a lunch, but this must be somewhat attributed to the location.

Pros: Delicious food, Lovely location

Cons: Prices high

Overpriced and nothing special.

I went to this restaurant due to the positive ratings but my experience was a bit different. 22 euros for some tofu with hummus topped with sweet and sour sauce and 7 euro for a beer? I guess the location is prime but still too expensive. I would avoid this one.

Some good options

I had the creamy mushroom pasta which was delicious. I also had brownie for dessert which was ok. My husband had the sushi and said this was just ok. Staff made us feel like we were inconvenient.

Quiet spot away from the busy streets

Caesar salad was great, especially the breaded tofu. Big portion and great flavours. Nice cocktails as a bonus!

Overrated…

I unfortunately don’t understand the very high rating, we were disappointed. I got the cheese plate which was very bland, didn’t offer much variety and they serve it with sandwich bread, no even fresh bread… My boyfriend got the sushi roll, only thing we were tasting were the sesame seeds on the outside. Drinks were ok, not amazing. I wouldn’t recommend, we left disappointed.

I agree. Overpriced and food was not that great or portions as big as some here say.

Delicious food & good portions

The menu had a good variety of options and it was lovely to have a break from the typical falafel wrap or tomato pasta options.

We had the Mamma Mia Burrata as a starter to share, it was really fresh and well presented. Then we had the Buns n' Roses Burger and Buffalo 'Wings', these were both full of flavours and really good portions. The salad that came with my wings was fab!

The only thing that let this place down was the service; disengaged and inattentive. This left us feeling like we were in the way, which is a shame as other reviews stated it was really friendly.

An oasis for vegans

Good food. Especially for vegans, this place is a welcome respite from the meat onslaught of the rest of Split. Mushroom pasta was very tasty and worth a repeat visit. The brownie was good but the frozen topping needs help. Service was within normal local standards.

Great find in split old town

Lots of options on the menu, and the food was tasty - even my non vegan friends enjoyed their meals. Portions were generous, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Prices were also reasonable. The only downside was the cocktails - they weren’t great. Would definitely recommend going there for a relaxed and top meal though.

Amazing menu choices

Hidden gem alert! Tucked away in the cutest little alleyway, this restaurant instantly won me over with its dreamy fairy lights and lush hanging plants—such a magical vibe!

I started with the lavender lemonade, which was so lovely and refreshing—like summer in a glass. Then came the truffle mushroom creamy pasta, and WOW. Rich, velvety, and full of deep, earthy flavour… absolute pasta perfection.

But let’s talk about that brownie. It was HUGE—and totally indulgent in the best way. If you're a dessert lover, this one’s a must!

Portions are generous, and while the prices are on the slightly higher side, it’s 100% worth it for the quality, atmosphere, and experience. Treat yourself—you won’t regret it!

Pros: Plenty of options, Set in a cute valley
