- Only all-vegan in Sarajevo - simple, fast, cheap!
Veggae is a welcome addition to Sarajevo's restaurant options, given that it is generally very challenging to find vegan food in the city, or most places in the Balkan region. While nothing fancy, this spot is comfortable and friendly, and provides cozy indoor seating for about 8-10 (or great for takeout). Veggae offers a range of menu items at very low prices, and sizable portions (be ready to take home leftovers!). Among three of us, we tried the seitan sandwich, the grilled vegetable sandwich, and the burrito. Sandwiches were served inside pita bread. All items were simple in style but substantial and filling. Not a ton of flavoring or spice to anything, but that's to be expected in the region. The spread used on the sandwiches was like veganaise, but with a slightly different flavor profile--on the sweeter side. The seitan sandwich has sausage round-style seitan slices, tomato, and lettuce, but not much else. The burrito had a mild "white cheeze" sauce with herbs on top, and vegetable filling--in many ways, more like a wrap. At this point in a long, multi-country trip, we were excited for sandwiches more than the risotto or falafel and hummus we had had the whole time already, so didn't try those, but they might also be good or even better choices. All in all, a worthwhile lunch or quick dinner spot and deserving of business and support as it gets started as the only all-vegan restaurant in, likely, the country!
