Very vegan friendly - Edit
Their 20 euro deal is great. Seitan masala was some of the best I've ever had! The avocado starter didn't have much flavor (a twist of seasoned lime woukd be a great addition), but the totelloni(?) and seitan were amazing!
Read morePros: Great deal for quality food
Cons: I wanted the cheesecake to be vegan!, Need a reservation (unless you get lucky)

Lovely cafe bookshop - Edit
This bookshop has calm atmosphere and lovely cafe. The vegan food and desserts are clearly labeled and the staff is happy to tell you the options as well. I bought a chocolate and coconut cookie which was tasty. They have ample books to read and buy, free Wi-Fi and ample drinks. This was my first visit and I will be certainly returning.

Tolle Atmosphäre - Edit
Es ist wirklich ein besonderer Ort zum geniessen. Es ist schön ruhig und man kann sich gut unterhalten, Kaffee trinken oder einen guten Wein geniessen. Am Abend kann man ab 19.00 Uhr sogar in einem Glashaus ein leckeres veganes oder vegetarisches Abendessen geniessen.
Read moreEs schmeckt frisch und selbst gemacht und alle sind sehr nett und achtsam. Ich würde sagen, dies ist ein besonderer Geheimtipp und das beste vegane/vegetarische Restaurant in Florenz.

My dream 💖 - Edit
Fantastic food, amazing atmosphere as the restaurant is almost a bit hidden behind a bookshop. Such special dishes and vegan options, and you can even do a tasting menu and try more dishes in smaller sizes! Would recommend getting a reservation as the place is often full already.

Great food - Edit
Came here on a Thursday night, and it was a little confusing because it looks like just a bookstore. The restaurant area opens at 7, and we happened to come by at 6:30 so we booked a table. Restaurant is to the left when you come in the door. There’s a separate dining area through another door, which is outfitted with books and bottles of wine.
Read moreThey had several vegan options on the menu, and you can do an all in one plate to try three things for 20 euro or order something individually for around 14 euro. Food was super good. What I ate seemed Indian inspired, but it had unique flavors (dosha, a basmati rice dish with ginger, and avocado carpaccio). Pay at the counter after you’re done.

Fantastic Meal - Edit
Brac served up some of the best food we’ve had in Florence. We each went with different Piatto Unicos and got a beautifully balanced meal. The seitan Marsala was outstanding, and the pasta of the day with seasonal artichokes was fantastic.

Loved the food here, highly recommend. Did get an attitude from one employee at the register (same one) both times we went in. Everyone else was friendly and helpful. I’d recommend this place the creative dishes and the cool bookstore vibe.

Piccola libreria con annesso ristorantino - Edit
Piccola e deliziosa libreria con annesso ristorante, presente anche un angolo esterno utilizzabile d’estate. Il menù propone piatti singoli o a 20 euro un piatto unico che puoi comporti a scelta un do un antipasto, un primo e un secondo. Il menù presenta 6 antipasti, 6 primi e 6 secondi ( in tutte le categorie 3 sono vegani e 3 vegetariani), più dolci che sono sempre buonissimi, assolutamente da provare a fine cena. Sono venuta molte volte e non sono mai rimasta delusa, una tappa fissa per una cena fra amiche o di coppia a firenze!
Read morePros: Cibo vario , ingredienti di qualità , Dolci!
Cons: Pochi posti, prenotare sempre!

Great, not overcrowded by tourists. Hours are incorrect on Happycow - Edit
I won’t update the opening hours on Happycow because no one cares anymore, but FYI - it does not close during lunch time, it opens non stop from 10am to midnight. Great library and coffee place where you can finally relax without tourists being everywhere

Best food we had in Florence - Edit
Tried a couple of times to get in here and couldn't, so if you're passing by- do go in and book. We finally got in for a late lunch, and were so glad we did.
Read moreWe both had the primo unico- which is a plate of their salad, primo and secondi courses together.
The salads were really tasty, especially the apple, cabbage and pomegranate one. The pastas too were superb, and especially the linguine were outstanding- this dish was so layered in spices and herbs it was really incredible. The star of it all may have been the seitan masala though- a brilliant, creamy sauce and really tasty seitan.
The majority of the Al a carte menu is vegan, which only a couple of options that are veggie, so id highly highly recommend this place. It's a great place to sit in too. And lovely wine.
Pros: Seitan masala, Spicy Pasta, Apple salad

Tasty vegetarian cuisine - Edit
You can get three generous portions of a salad, rice/pasta, and special on a single plate for only £19. It feels like a good bargain compared to some restaurants in Florence. The food is very varied and interesting and a nice change. The atmosphere inside is very nice as it is a bookshop/cafe.

Lovely selection - Edit
Nice to see a fully vegetarian menu in Florence. Cure and cosy bookshop with relaxed vibe. They only have 11 tables so you really need to book to avoid disappointment.
Read moreI had the mix plate for 20 euros which was a salad, pasta or rice and then a special. Nice portion and good to be able to try a selection. I went with a non vegan friend who had the lasagne, she said it didn’t taste of much.
The desert was a bit strange, but my friend enjoyed the cheesecake. A solid option in Florence and I would go back
Pros: Vegetarian menu, Bookshop cosy vibe
Cons: Lasagne didn’t have much flavour , My desert seemed a bit strange

Simply amazing - Edit
The place is very cozy, inside a book shop, with a great atmosphere and classical music. We went for a menu where you can choose a salad, first and second plates for 20 euros. It is very well served and certainly more than we would ask. You also have a starter and water included. Half of the menu is vegan. Simply amazing!

Piatti deliziosi in un ambiente ricercato e dall'atmosfera accogliente. Ho apprezzato molto la gentilezza del personale e il "piatto unico" a 20 euro, che permette di provare più cose. Tornerò per provare anche i dolci.

Such a lovely place in the book shop, and the food was excellent. I had a rice and salad dish, I can’t remember what it was called, but it was so nice. The gluten free chocolate dessert was really lovely.

Delicious, special and artsy - Edit
We truly enjoyed the lunch here. We both took the option to choose 3 dishes for 20 euros. The menu contains dishes and ingredients that we've never had before. It tasted really good. The place itself is also cool: an artsy vibe, nice indoor and outdoor seating and a library with art books.

One of Our Two Favorite Restaurants in Florence - Edit
Awesome variety of dishes, and completely different from the standard Italian fare you’re used to. The chefs really know what they’re doing. The lunch special for 20 euros was amazing value for money (either two dishes and a salad or just the two dishes with bigger portions - we opted for the latter). Very nice servers, knowledgeable about nut and peanut allergies. I’ve never tasted vegetables cooked this well. Lots of creativity too, and great atmosphere.

Divine!!!! A must-try - Edit
I was SO impressed with my meal here. I loved the “piatto” option as I could try several things. The best seitan I have ever had, everything was thoughtfully prepared and the flavours were unique, balanced, and satisfying. The vibe is also gorgeous.
