Went for the veggie sandwich

We were looking for somewhere to have a quick bite to eat and a glass of wine and didn’t even look at the full menu but went straight for the aubergine/artichoke/olive tapenade sandwich which was just what was needed. Nice bread.

Pros: Vegan options , Cheap

Cons: Weird paying service - don’t lose your receipts, Very basic

Make sure to read clearly!

We became aware of this restaurant through the many positive reviews. One page on the menu is marked as vegetarian and vegan. Please note that the risotto, gnocci and tagliatelle are not vegan! Only the classic dishes like spaghetti pomodoro, aglio olio etc. which you can find in any other restaurant are vegan. In addition, a cake is marked vegan, but we have not tried. The person who wants to enjoy the classic dishes can do so in a nice atmosphere on the terrace.

Pros: Nice Atmosphere

Cons: Not clearly marked dishes

Better than nothing

We sat down after seeing vegan options mentioned. We had 2 decaf soy cappuccinos which were good and the vegan cake (very nice). Ask for it without whip cream, they clearly don't fully understand what vegan entails. Their veggie menu is most probably pre-made because we asked for the gnocchi without mozzarella and apparently this was not possible, which suggests to me the food is not prepared fresh. It is not easy to get a good vegan meal in Sirmione, so you'll have to make do.

Pros: Nice outdoor seating , Friendly staff

Cons: Not fresh, Not many options but more than the other cafes

Gekennzeichnete Gerichte

Es gibt zwei Vegane Gerichte, die auch gekennzeichnet sind. Das ist für Sirmione schon grandios.
Essen ist leider eher zum Hunger stillen.

Tasty takeaway sandwich

Bought a vegan sandwich here to go and have for lunch while sitting by the lake. They are ready made so nice and quick and genuinely delicious! It had loads of grilled veg, olive tapenade and some lettuce

Okay

Die Spaghetti mit Tomatensauce war gut, aber ich finde es traurig, wenn das fast das einzige vegane Gericht ist. Die Bedienung war mega unfreundlich. Aber zum schnellen Hunger stoppen ist es okay

Cons: Super unfreundlich , Nicht viele Gerichte

Some vegan options

The menu has a vegetarian/vegan section of which only 3 dishes were vegan. Same dishes offered at other restaurants. I ordered the spaghetti with oil, garlic and the grilled veggies. It was okay but nothing fancy.

Pros: Some vegan options clearly labeled

Cons: Same options as other restaurants

Not many vegan options

We had the vegan sandwich which wasn't very good. Restaurant was very busy and service was very slow. Wouldn't return again.

Not a big fan

They have a vegan/vegetarian menu but not all the items on the menu are vegan.
Service is alright, location is good, food tasted just okay. Okay for lunch but won’t come back.

Vegan sandwich is pretty bad

Despite its look, the bread doesn't taste good (this may be my german perspective though), neither does the topping.

Unclear if there are any vegan dishes (both menu and waiter couldn’t tell)

We went to this restaurant because of the good reviews, however, the menu did not state which vegetarian dishes were vegan. When i asked which ones were vegan, the waiter replied that “it depends on you, do you eat mozzarella?” When i replied no, i only eat vegan he said he didn’t know which ones were but it would probably be better to take something without mozzarella… i decided to go somewhere else instead because I did not want to accidentally eat egg-pasta or cheese sauce.. Too bad! The menu also didn’t have the lasagne as some mentioned earlier. I ended up going somewhere else and got some pizza vegetariana without cheese!

Pros: The menu states that one of the cakes is vegan , They have soy cappuccino

Cons: The menu doesn’t state which dishes are vegan , The waiter didn’t know which dishes are vegan

Great for a snack in between

Nothing special, but for Sirmione where it's hard to find a place that serves vegan options, it's a good place to go. They know about vegan cuisine, and offer quite a few options. They updated their menu even.

Small portions, the lasagne was good

The have several vegan meals on the menu. We had a vegan meat lasagne, pasta pomodore and the vegan sandwich. The pasta and the sandwich were okay, the lasagne was good, the taste was almost too close to the original. All dishes are premade. The table next to us tried to order plain pasta without sauce. That was not possible.
The portions were quite small, so in the end it was a little expensive. But probably similar to the surrounding area.

Pros: Small portions, Not freshly made

Cons: A little expensice

Nice staff

We had a really nice waiter show us to our table and the food was fine, however that's all the positives.
The food didn't taste fresh at all which is no surprise considering how tiny their kitchen is. Seasonings however don't take up much space, so maybe that would be something...
The complementary bread was hard and must've been stored outside for days.

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options , Probably the cheapest meal around

Cons: Not really good , Tastes store-bought

bad for vegans

vegan lasagne and vegan sandwich were not available. I ended up eating pasta with tomato sauce and some of the pasta was already dried. The vegetarian canelloni that my boyfriend ate were also not that good.
It is better to just go to another restaurant without labled vegan options.

Cons: vegan options not avaliable, lack of taste

Nice Spot, Restaurant is okay

First of all the vegan lasagna will be out forever. I think they took it down from the menu. The Risotto was okay. It’s a nice spot there but with plastic seats and plastic bottle water. But they have some vegan options like a sandwich, 2 pasta dishes (that are quite basic) and the risotto.

Pros: Some vegan options

Cons: No Lasagne anymore but it’s still on the menu, Cheap Seats, Taste could be better

Not recommended

The Lasagna reported before was not available, the waiter spoke only a little English. We had the Safran risotto and the sandwich. The portions were small and there were only a few pieces of vegetables in the sandwich. The place is although nicely located with outside seating at a nice corner.

Sehr leckere vegane Gerichte

Das vegane Sandwich, das Risotto, das Grillgemüse und die Penne Arrabiata waren sehr lecker! Weitere vegane Optionen - wie eine vegane Lasagne - verfügbar. Insgesamt etwa 8 vegane Gerichte.

Tasty and a lot of vegan options

I was very disappointed because I was eating a lot for breakfast and when I came for lunch time on this restaurant I was suprised that they had a lot of vegan options beside Spagetti Pomorodo and Foccacia. They had Penne Ragu, Risotto, Lasagna and a tasty vegan sandwich. I will come back.
