Plats inventifs et bons, un peu chers. - Edit
J’ai été bluffée par le plat « filet mignon » (même si un peu déçue qu’il soit fait avec des protéines de pois…) très réussi et bon, peu de légumes, assiette petite mais suffisante.
Read moreMon mari a pris la salade de « nuggets » (enrobés de pains de industriels à l’intérieur, dommage) et il a été déçu qu’il y ait très peu de roquette alors que c’était écrit comme un des ingrédients principaux, il y avait surtout de la laitue dans le fond. Bons crudités et carottes fumées réussies avec une sauce aïoli délicieuse.
Je n’ai pas été subjuguée par le désert type cheesecake, petit pour le prix et base trop épaisse.
Prix un peu chers.
Pros: Le goût du filet mignon très réussi. , Les sauces et accompagnements avec bons goûts , Beaucoup de choix tentants.
Cons: La description des plats n’est pas toujours exacte, Prix élevés. , Il peut y avoir de l’attente, pas de réservation

Wow - Edit
A fully plant based brilliant find while on holiday in Zadar. We had lunch here yesterday. Oh wow!! We shared 2 dishes, the gnocchi with meatballs and the Wellington with stroganoff sauce. Absolutely delicious 😋 Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place 🙌

ausgezeichnet und vielseitig! - Edit
Ich hatte das vegane Fillet Mignon und war wirklich begeistert! Die Konsistenz war so real, es war fast gruselig und erinnerte uns an frühere Familiengerichte :)
Read moreAuf jeden Fall auf der hochpreisigeren Seite, aber das leckere Essen war es wert😄War schön zu sehen, wie unterschiedliche und kreative Gerichte es gab!
Zu zweit/als kleine Gruppe kann man nicht reservieren und das Restaurant ist sehr beliebt, also muss man eventuell mit Wartezeit rechnen.

High-end veganism - incredible! - Edit
Not only is the atmosphere classy and sophisticated, but the food is absolutely incredible. We had the Mata-Mata burger and the Flamingo Tongue Snail (gnocchi). Both were super delicious, excellent portions, and felt like high-end dining - a first for us at a vegan restaurant!

No need to read, eat here - Edit
You’re in Zadar, you should eat here. Nice outdoor atmosphere, friendly wait staff but really, whatever… the menu was creative and the food was delicious. We ended up eating here twice. Once for dinner then the next day for lunch (burgers). For dinner I had the Dik Dik and it was really delicious. We also had a cauliflower salad start that we loved. The beat burger was better then the beyond meat style burger in my opinion. You’re still reading?? Eat here, best option in town.

The best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food was delicious, the service professional and nice. Beautiful view from the garden seats. I would like to go back there again and if I have the opportunity, I will definitely do it.

All about the Botanist is just special! From the beautiful seating along the ocean over the high class food (try the gnocchi!) to the very personal stories in the menu about the owners and how they found their recipes. 5/5 would recommend!

Incredible food! View & staff - Edit
Amazing waterfront location, large place with lots of Seaview tables. Everything was so well presented and prepared. It was definitely elevated vegan food. We had a cold beet soup & cauliflower for appetizer. And then fake fish and fake steak. All was creative and beautiful and yummy…. And then their version of tiramisu was incredible! Pricey but worth it. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Will be back for sure

So good I didn't eat anywhere else - Edit
I had dinner at The Botanist on 3 out of my 4 nights in Zadar; it would have been all 4 nights if I hadn't returned too late from a trip on Tuesday. On each visit I tried something new and I was always thrilled by the flavours, textures and creativity I was presented with.
Read moreThe service was always warm and welcoming, and each night I received excellent recommendations from staff regarding food and drink selections and pairings. A special mention goes to Eva, whose engagement with her guests is absolutely impeccable.
The prices are also very fair for the quality of food on offer. This place is an absolute treasure in Zadar, and I'm tempted to make another trip just to try the dishes I didn't have time for. Or maybe even just to try that amazing tiramisu again.
Pros: Quality of the food , Warm, informative and friendly service, Great location right by the water

Spoilt for Choice - Edit
A creative vegan menu in a nice little spot on the sea front. Visited the restaurant twice whilst on holiday and both times we weren't disappointed. If you're vegan and visiting Zadar this place is a must.

Lovely vegan restaurant - Edit
The Botanist is a lovely restaurant with an atmospheric terrace overlooking the sea. The food and service was good. I didn’t find the food exciting but I am spoiled for choice where I live and appreciate this is Zadar’s first and only vegan restaurant. It’s quite pricey, so would recommend for a special occasion and not an every day meal.

Only vegan restaurant in Zadar - Edit
We went for a family dinner. The outdoor setting is lovely. The service was excellent. The variety of options on the menu is great - we had a couple of salads to start followed by gnocchi, pasta and ´fish’ mains. The food was good but doesn’t quite live up to the hype in the detailed descriptions provided in the menu. It is an expensive option but the service and ambiance make it worth a visit if you want a treat.
