Yes there are vegan options BUT - Edit
The dishes we tried were absolutely underwhelming. Two of them (the zucchini noodles and the quinoa) were basically the same blob of condiments with a different base (zucchini noodles or quinoa). It was heavy, just bathing in lots of this pesto sauce with random toppings (such as a few raspberries?! What does it have to do with the dish?!).
Read moreI also want to add that we had read somewhere that they could veganize one of their other dishes which was a risotto. They would only need to use oil instead of butter and exclude the Parmesan cheese. So I asked the waiter who went to talk to the kitchen staff. Since they have an open window from which the waiter talks to the kitchen staff and takes the dishes to serve, I could see the lady who answered him the whole time they spoke. The simple request of not using butter made her roll her eyes, grumbled and nodded while saying something. So the waiter came back and told us that they could do it “but..” and then looked like he was unsure what to say. We thanked him and decided to order something else, namely those disgusting two dishes I already described, plus two sides.
One was a side salad and then some roasted potatoes. The side salad was supposed to have avocado and, well, it didn’t. I asked the waiter and he went to ask the ladies (who, again, I could see from my table). The one who prepared it looked confused, then they exchanged some words and he came back saying that the avocado was in the dressing. I am 1000000% sure that there was no avocado in the dressing. The dressing was a vinegary/acidic watery one, didn’t look nor taste at all like it would contain avocado. I was offended by the disrespect of not just telling the truth (“I forgot”,”We ran out”). Luckily when I pointed out to the waiter the blatant lie he understood and eventually didn’t charge us for the salad. I appreciated it but I would have appreciated their honesty much more.
All in all, food was bad, kitchen staff was clearly not happy to cater to vegans, the waiter was the only good person there but also didn’t make us very comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend going there
Pros: Waiter was nice
Cons: Food was bad , Kitchen staff was unhappy to cater to vegans , Kitchen staff lied when confronted with mistake

Tasty food - Edit
The restaurant is a little bit on the expensive side, but it was worth it for the atmosphere, nice staff, very tasty food and the big portions (both, me and my friend, could not have finished the whole portion).
Read moreThey had 4 vegan dishes on the menu.
And in the end we even got free shots :)

2 vegan main dishes, 1 with option - Edit
Can't really add more information here.
Read moreNice restaurant in a crowdy area near the port.
There are 2 vegan main dishes (listed under "veggie corner" on the card, can be seen in the pictures others already posted).
Also 1 main dish can be made vegan if wished (Risotto with saffron an pistacchios). Just ask the waiters.
A bit pricier but big serving of break.
Would visit the Bookeria again.
Pros: Italian sparkler 😋

Great good, friendly staff - Edit
We're here second year in a row and the food has not disappointed. They have two vegan options in 2023. No vegan dessert this year, unfortunately, but the chocolate cake I had last year was so good that I had two myself after dinner every night that we stayed.
Read moreThe staff is very friendly.
A little pricier, but no regrets. 😊

Lovely place, good vegan options - Edit
They have 2 vegan options and I had both: the burgers (vegetable polpette) and the quinoa.
Read moreI liked both, the burgers were special, very crunchy outside but soft inside, the quinoa was also good but very hot, I would have preferred it cold.
Big portions.
The staff was very nice, they speak good English (no Italian). We split a dish and they brought it in two plates.
Really lovely place with herbs vases, they also have a book crossing cabin.
We paid 70 euros for 3 dishes, wine and water, it's not high for this town.

Bland food, small portions - Edit
We ordered the quinoa dish and the polpette. The quinoa dish was nicely presented but very bland. The polpette was nice but a very small portion. We chose the additional „tofu cheese“ for the polpette with turned out to be just cold smoked tofu.
Read moreThe waiter only spoke limited English/German. The location is ok, near to the harbor (although not at the water).
Pros: Central location
Cons: Limited vegan options, Bland food, Small portions

Nice options - Edit
The vegan options are more limited in the off season, but what they have available is still delicious. Nice flavored combinations, and the veg quinoa starter particularly was an original flavor combination that worked really well.

Good smoothies - Edit
It’s a very good looking place, quite colorfull and right in the center of rovinj. They have four different fresh smoothies with plant milk. Perfect for the hot summer days. Sadly, they don’t have any vegan food options at breakfast. Still, a nice place to freshen up.

Nothing special - Edit
Quite expensive for the quality and size of portions. I took the kale & quinoa burger. However those patties were not available today and I got (quite apparently) veg patties from the grocery store frozen food section. Ok burger but nothing special. Would not order again. My friend took the veg salad. It was nice (although tofu cold-uncooked) but smalll.

Love this place - Edit
I ate here twice for breakfast. Both times I got the brucetta with no cheese and I got a strawberry smoothie with almond milk. 2nd time I tried quinoa with apple and cinnamon...not sure if it was a mistake that they put lemon juice on it but it tasted horrible. Went for dinner once and got the seitan loved it

Excellent Vegan Dinner - Edit
Sehr schmackhaftes veganes Abendessen. Hier weiß man was vegan bedeutet. Es gibt 2-3 vegane Gerichte auf der Speisekarte und weitere Gerichte können vegan zubereitet werden. Als Vorspeise hatten wir ein simples Avocado Brot, welches aber wegen der hochwertigen Zutaten einfach lecker war. Danach folgte das Orzotto mit Pilzen und Trüffeln - sehr zu empfehlen. Der Seitan war schön würzig zubereitet und sehr ansprechend angerichtet. Sympathischer und kompetenter Service. Neben einer exzellenten Weinbegleitung wurde uns auch noch eine nette Bar empfohlen, um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen.

They have a quinoa kale burger that is so incredible I went back again to get it during my three day stay. Just make sure to get it without the mayo. They can also do the truffle pasta vegan and the smoothies on offer are excellent as well ( made with almond milk).
