Amazing price / quality / quantity ratio! - Edit
We went here without reservation. They were going to be very full that night, but we came early so we had an hour and 15 minutes to eat. So if you go; go early or make a reservation. We went for their piatto unico dish; choose 3 dishes and pay only 15 euros for a plate fully stuffed with deliciousness! We both loved our food and I couldn’t even finish mine. So all in all a cheap, delicious and filling meal!

Lovely place in Firenze centre - Edit
On a rainy day, near the Gallerie degli Uffizi and other very touristic places, this gem is there. Even without a reservation we could find easily a table for lunch (we were only two). The menu has clearly labelled vegan options, and they were veeery good. We had the "piatto unico" option (can't remember the price but is was okay for what is was), mine with the "carpaccio di avocado", "maltagliati crema cavolfiore e menta" and the "millefoglie di patate dolci", my s/o's was with "carlofortina", "spaghettini ai carciofi speziati" and "fagottino di pane carasau con carciofi e cream di topinambur". Very good, very Italian also (at least for most of the products used) and not that expansive for the quality! Highly recommended!

UNFORGETTABLE - Edit
I cannot wait to go back to Florence so I can have the meals I had all over again. I advised them my husband and I were vegan and they happily recommended a couple of dishes. My husband and I got a little bit of everything but their stuffed ravioli was an unforgettable foodie experience.

Worthy - Edit
The food is very good and all made with love. If you have a small budget and wanna eat more than only fast-food this is the perfect place to go in Florence. The dishes are all creativ and are tasting really good, but some of them are a little bit to dry.... that's fine but not made for the Swabien taste. The staff is nice and polite, but does not speak englisch so well. The restaurant is also a small library and the atmosphere is just awesome.

Excellent chef, gorgeous, delicious food, many choices - Edit
We really, really liked this place! Definitely competes with the very best vegan restaurants in LA and San Francisco. It is an omnivore menu with 50% of the items vegan. Ingredients listed in Italian and English. You can get a large serving of any item or a little smaller serving with 3 items on a plate. I had a crepe, tortolloni (with a potato ginger filling), a fennel/orange salad (with some raisins), and my husband had a pasta with eggplant and tomato, a flat bread with yam and caramelized onion, and a green bean and pesto salad. With 3 glasses of wine, 2 waters, and one dessert it was only about 50 Euros. See photos of food and menu. We will try to get dinner there again!

Very cool place - Edit
The restaurant serves great food. It is vegetarian, and has a lot of vegan options. You can feel that they know how to cook vegetables, the dishes are tasty and original. I ate a really savoury coleslaw, tofu chicken massala, both recommended.
Read moreApart from that, the decoration is nice, featuring books, photography, art in general. The price is reasonable too.
It is a bit hidden, but definitely worth it!

The. Best. Food. Omfg. - Edit
If you are vegan, and looking for a good place, go here! Mouth drooling good. Vegan options clearly marked on the menu, and so good it will make you a little pig in mud. Seitan Marsala was my favorite...or maybe the stuffed tortellini with tofu...oh, and their gin mule, oh and the ambience, wait and then the avocado salad...
Read morePros: Best vegan food hands down -Seitan Marsala!!!, Beautiful ambiance and decent pricing , Options, cocktails, friendly staff

Lovely hidden restaurant - Edit
Vegan options clearly labeled. Atmosphere is very nice and the food was excellent. The restaurant is kind of inconspicuous and hard to find because there is no obvious sign, but I do definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. It’s quite close to Uffizi Gallery as well.

The Best Food in Florence - Edit
We ate here for dinner and had the 3-course special for 15 euros. The food was creative and beautiful and the portions were generous. I had a tangy shaved salad, curry tomato pasta, and the seitan masala special. They have a nice wine list. The menu is not all vegan, but all the vegan options are clearly marked and there are plenty of choices. Every table was full -- make reservations so you don't miss out! The dining room is set in a library and is very cozy -- like you are eating in a secret dining room in the back of the building. A definite must while you are in Florence!

Great vegan food in a cute cafe - Edit
We loved the vegan food and the lovely atmosphere. You can order 1 salad, 1 pasta, and 1 baked item or special together on a plate. The tortelloni with potato and ginger was the biggest hit at our table. If you see tortelloni on the menu, don’t miss out!

Fantastic vegan food - Edit
I had an amazing lunch here recently and the food was so delicious! I tried the potato and ginger tortellini and WOW what an amazing flavour combination! The vegan cake (I think it was apple) was nice and soft, and a generous serving. The waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was very nice. One of my favourite places in Florence!

Full of flavour! - Edit
I chose the plate with a salad, baked dish and pasta. The flavours were so strong and I could actually taste the freshness of the ingredients. It was a nice place to sit and have something to eat too. Only 1 vegan option in the baked section of the menu but fortunately this was the item I wanted anyway.

Brac gets everything right - Edit
Huge portions, good prices, great food, nice decor, friendly staff, and a menu option allowing you to try a salad, first and second course all for a reasonable price.
Read moreThe spaghetti with fennel, raisins and breadcrumbs was a unique and surprising combination which proved to be my favorite food I tried there, followed close by the lasagna.
The flatbreads come with generous amounts of gooey cheese, and were not like anything I have tried before.
The first and second courses were so good that I can overlook the salads--a mediocre creamy beet salad and an avocado carpaccio anchored in a dollop of chunky hummus.
Well worth a stop while in Florence.
Pros: Great menu allows you to try three separate course, Delicious Food, Good price
Cons: Not-so-great salads

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere - Edit
My partner and I both got the lunch special where you can choose 3 menu items - salad, first course, and main course - for 15 Euros. It is all brought to you at once on the same plate - so you'll have to wait a bit for everything to be made.
Read moreThe food was delicious - I had a sliced avocado salad, lasagna made with fresh pasta, and type of bread with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and eggplant on it (pizza-ish but with a different dough). My partner got a beet salad which he did not love, as well as the same pizza-ish dish and spaghetti with several interesting ingredients that I cannot recall, which he enjoyed.
Also we asked about the rennet - and they said all cheeses used are made with vegetarian rennet.
The restaurant also has a selection of books (I think it may also be a bookstore) so it was fun to browse the books while we waited for the food. It had a lovely ambiance overall.
Pros: Delicious food, Nice ambiance, Large portions

Make sure you reserve a table, it's definitely worth it! - Edit
€15 for a selection of three dishes (salad, pasta/rice a baked dish) on one plate. The flavours and presentation are amazing. Service is perfect. Lovely setting. Highly recommended. Plenty of options for both veggie and vegan.
