I love this place

I ordered a poke bowl with tempeh, and it was huge and really delicious. The rice was a little bit unsalty to me, but there was salt and pepper on the table. I drank a slovenian cider, that was great also. The waitress was kind and helpful.

Pros: Kind and helpful staff

Cons: Expensive

Super fresh bowl

I loved this bowl with the best tempeh I've ever had. It was super fresh. I enjoyed the orange wine too, a local delicacy

Good vegan options

I had the aubergine dish which was a bit more interesting than usual vegan fair although I was expecting a warm dish. Still tasty and the soba noodles with tempeh was also well enjoyed

Pros: Plenty of vegan / veggie options, Nice interiors

Cons: Service was a little slow but not to bad

Nice restaurant with several vegan options

Since all the vegan restaurants were fully booked, I decided to go to a vegan friendly place. The menu was really clear, the staff understood what vegan means and I really liked the poke bowl. It's not a really big portion, but it was enough for me.

Pros: Several vegan options , Friendly staff, Nice terrace in the garden

Clearly stated what the vegan options are

The menu makes it clear which of the options are vegan. The food tasted great however the order was with tuna instead of tempeh and a (I believe dairy-)yoghurt dressing. The staff handled it well by removing the tuna and replacing it

Meh

Gostilna Vida has some good vegan options for breakfast / brunch, all the dishes I tried had a good presentation and looked super tasty, but I found the main dishes to be bland or with poor flavor combination.

They have a small kitchen, and a tendency to let too many people in the restaurant, which result in a very slow (1h+) service, so avoid it if it looks crowded.

Great food, but not the most vegan friendly

A few items on the menu are vegan (or can be vegan if ordered with tempeh).
They also seem to have one vegan soup and one vegan cake.

I ordered the salad Gado Gado but specified I didn’t want the egg that comes with it or the prawn chips. It looked amazing and it was absolutely delicious. The tempeh was fantastic. It had unique ingredients, the portion was big too. I’ve ordered it many times since and it’s one of my favorites.

The poke bowl was really good too, looked beautiful but the price was really high (13.50€). The tempeh was again super tasty and kind of made it worth it.

I’ve also tried the hummus which was a bit disappointing, it looked nice and it came with veggies and five slices of tasty bread, but the hummus was pretty flavorless.

The prices for salads and bowls were around 8€-15€ but most main dishes are more expensive.

Dishes cost a few euros less if you order on the wolt or glovo apps, and the portion size seems the same.

The menu marks which dishes are vegan but I think it’s not 100% accurate so better to ask.
The staff is very friendly.

There’s quite a few tables outside and also inside, but the indoor space is quite small.
The ambient is very nice and cozy.

Want to give 5 stars!!

Can't give 5 stars because the app does not allow it. But I've had the most amazing noodles ever over here. Also, really nice garden

Options véganes travaillées

Pas mal d'options veganes, qui sont vraiment travaillées et font tout autant envies que les autres plats à la carte.
J'ai pris le trio de dips (houmous, muhamara et chutney de mangue), c'était bon mais sans plus ; et le bowl avec riz, edamame, choux, avocat... C'était pas mal du tout avec la petite sauce à la coco, mais j'en ai mangé des meilleurs. Leur tempeh est excellent.
C'est super copieux par contre !
Les serveuses étaient très sympas !

Pros: Très copieux, Serveuses sympas

Tasteless food, nice waiter

The waiter was nice although the kitchen was a bit slow even though we we’re the only ones there. The food was solid, nothing special. Bit overpriced.

Really rude waitress

I don’t know why but the restaurant was empty and the waitress pretended to not see us.
It was awkward. Food looked awesome tho

Ruimte voor verbetering

Mooie locatie en veel keus voor vegan/vegetarisch. Goed op smaak gebracht eten maar de ingrediënten waren niet super vers en kleine aanpassingen aan de gerechten waren ook niet mogelijk.

Pros: Gezellig terras, Binnentuin

Cons: Prijzig

very cool café

We had a really great experience! We sat in the magical garden and it had a couple of vegan breakfast options and I also saw on the menu that there were some vegan lunch dishes. And the oatmilk is amazing!

Not the best for vegans

Seeing all the positive reviews I decided to take my family here, but it seems like we caught them on a bad day, as we were disappointed with all the vegan dishes that we ordered (the omnivores in my family were happy with almost everything they received). For appetisers we ordered the vietnamese rolls which came overfilled with uncooked, chewy rice noodles and tasted a bit off. Then we tried the soba noodles which were underwhelming and the sauce was very sour. Just like everything else, the rice bowl I ordered was very nicely plated and beautiful to look at, but tasted much more plain. Personally I didn't try any of the desserts, but my family tried all of them and liked none. The only thing that I really liked and that makes me want to give this place another chance was their delicious tempeh.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options, Interesting black toilet decor😉worth a look, Fast service

Leckeres Frühstück, Kaffee eher mittel...

Das Café ist idyllisch und der Service gut, aber es ist teurer als erhofft und trotz des leckeren Essens ist der Café eher mittel... alles in allem: kann man schon machen

amazing food amazing place

we went here for a late lunch and had a wonderful experience. there is a magical garden in the backyard, full of awesome plants and the vibe is just very cosy. the menu is quite interesting and could easily have more vegan options. vietnamese rolls and soba noodles with tempeh were exceptional, highly recommend. they also offer fair trade coffee.

Amazing dinner!

This restaurant was truly amazing. The ambiance was very cozy and it was located in the center. Enough really good vegan options, within the lunch, dinner and dessert menu. We had a lovely dinner and would recommend it to everyone!
