Endroit sympathique et bon - Edit
Nous n’avions pas pu réserver, car ils ne proposent pas cette possibilité en ligne. Il n’y avait donc aucune possibilité de manger sur place.
Read moreNous avons décidé d’emporter et de manger chez nous .
Le seitan était très bon, mais le plat est peu copieux.
Les pâtes étaient très bonnes également et très bien épicées.
Sans être de grosses mangeuses, il a fallu 3 plats pour 2 personnes pour manger à notre faim.
L’accueil est bon.
Pros: Bonne cuisine
Cons: Peu de choix de vin, Les portions sont peu généreuses

Our favourite meal in Florence! - Edit
(Visited October 2024)
Read moreThis was an absolute 5* treat and our favourite meal in Florence.
Set inside a bookshop with a small amount of tables inside and outside so I definitely recommend booking or getting there early. We waited for a table with a cocktail (which was lovely) whilst we book hunted. It also appears to be a cafe during the day. The atmosphere is so cosy and the outside area decorated beautifully.
Clearly labelled vegan dishes on the menu. We opted for six different small options as we couldn't choose! The flavours were excellent and each dish unique.
Finished the night with a limoncello and a coffee.
It felt like a very special evening and I can't recommend it enough!

Bravo 👏! - Edit
Love the atmosphere inside with all the books!
Read moreFor the lunch menù you choose from quite a range of dishes, many vegan options, too. It’s 16€ for the menù 2€ coperta which includes water. (I was there for lunch)
The quality of the food was exceptional, I think.
update: went again in 2026, still phenomenal!

Excellent meal and unique atmosphere - Edit
This bookshop/vegan and vegetarian restaurant was a happy surprise! We ordered two of the combination (salad/main/special) for 20 euros each, and were very pleased with the variety and quality of the food.

Cakes, coffee and cocktails - Edit
I didn't eat a main meal here but we ordered 2 of the vegan sweet options, two espresso and my partner had a cocktail. All were good. Also it's lovely to sit amongst bookshelves with your food or in their courtyard.

Absolutely amazing! - Edit
This was legitimately one of the best meals I've ever had. Every plate I saw come out of the kitchen looked incredible. Everything is vegetarian, but there were several well-labeled vegan options in each category (e.g. salad, main, desert) and it seems like you can't go wrong. Also, very cool bookstore vibe.

Dreamy Spaghetti - Edit
Very cute restaurant in the back of a lovely art bookshop. We had the tasting platter where you get a salad, rice/pasta dish and a special in smaller portions. The garlic chili spaghetti was literally the best pasta I have ever tasted and I wish we had a whole serving of it. The spam seitan masala was also amazing as was the tortellini and the green spinach (tho that one is definite not vegan and very cheesy)

This place makes me happy that Happy Cow exists as we would not have found it otherwise, right in the centre of florence, a great spot to have a good lunch in between seeing the sights

Delicious meal in a beautiful setting - Edit
We had a wonderful meal here and opted for the plate of three options which was great to try different things without having too much food! The wine was also lovely. The vegan cheesecake is delicious - unfortunately I didn't get a photo because it was just too good not to dive straight in.

Atmosphere meets quality - Edit
We got a tip from our host (Ostello Tasso) to go here for vegan food.
Read moreMost of the food is vegan.
We had the menu which was served on one plate.
I had the wonderful Agnolotti tortelloni with plums, the apple-cabbage salad and the sweet potatoe meal and my girlfriend had Dosha (Crèpe with Passion fruit sauce), brokkoli rice, salade of the field. Everytging was amazing.
Two cakes (chocolat and cheese-cake) at the end. 🥰
Very nice staff and good books to read/buy 😁
We feal very good and free.
Mille grazie!

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.

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.

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.
