Restaurant végane - Edit
Nous avons cru de premier abord que le restaurant était fermé mais non il faut sonner pour entrer!
Read moreLa salle est agréable et lumineuse, la serveuse était très gentille et au petit soin. On nous a expliqué le menu en anglais. La formule permet de tester pleins de plats en même temps c'est parfait pour les indécises comme moi!
Les plats étaits très bon, j'y ai mangé les meilleurs arancinis de Sicile! Le dessert tiramisu à la pistache était délicieux et bien copieux!
Je suis venue avec 2 amies non végane et elles ont adoré aussi😄
Pros: All vegan, Excellent food, Friendly staff

Late dinner - Edit
We arrived just after 7pm, but dinner didn’t start until 8pm so we wasted some time walking round! I ordered a pasta dish which was really tasty. My partner had the pizza and then we shared a cous cous dish. The couscous haha nice flavour. I liked the restaurant but we didn’t stay for dessert.

Good salads - Edit
Arriving too early for dinner (which starts at 7pm) we were offered the lunch menu (from which you can choose two/three/four dishes). It was nice to try a few different options without ending up with too much food. Prices for the lunch menu were reasonable.
Read moreThe risotto was tasty and I particularly enjoyed the salads (a substantial white bean salad and a fresh one with apple and tofu).
The garden was closed so it wasn't as atmospheric as anticipated. Service was friendly if a little on the slow side.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good salads
Cons: Dinner menu doesn't start until 7pm, Service a little slow

Yummy food and nice atmosphere - Edit
We went on a Friday at 6pm and ordered off the menu of the day (4 items each) which is not the full dinner menu. It was filling with the desserts we ordered! The atmosphere is really nice and relaxing. Remember to use/bring bug spray if you sit in the garden during dusk! They do speak a little English so that helps if you are not fluent in Italian.

Lunch: Nothing to write home about - Edit
In a country with a great vegetable/plant based cuisine this was a disappointment: a selection of lukewarm dishes best described as canteen-style. Everything was too greasy for our taste and at the same time plain tasting. For 12€ the dishes were also quiet small compared to normal portions in local restaurants. The interior is pretty generic hippie-ish, the garden unfortunately was closed st lunch.
Read moreTwo stars because the whole staff was super friendly and tried their best to explain the italien only menu to us (also non native English speakers). Also I guess the regular menu was n the evening is better considering the good reviews.
Pros: all vegan

Best in Catania - Edit
As ignorant western Europeans, and not acustomed to the mediterranean dinner times, we entered the restaurant at 6:30 pm. They were not really open yet, but very kind. We could already sit down and have something to drink. This was really nice, and a real treat, seeing the beauty of the place!
Read moreAfter half an hour or so (the restaurant still was not open) the waiter came to tell us we could already order the antipasti-plate. This is a combination of things on the menu. We did this and it was lovely! So many nice things, tasting delicious. I really recommend ordering this if you are here
After this we decided to order something more. I had the Seitan-mock meat which really reminded me of schnitzel and my girlfriend ordered tempura. Both really nice.
Next to being delicious, the prices are amazing. Almost no meals above 10 euro's.
When paying I talked to the owner. They also do lunch, which we couldn't do because we were visiting the Etna volcano the next morning. But it gives us reason enough to return again, because we definitely will!
Pros: Best staff ever, Delicious food, Cheap!

cibo sfizioso e ben preparato - Edit
Una cucina vegana di alto livello a prezzi assolutamente accessibili. Abbiamo preso un antipasto per due con vari assaggi, tutti sfiziosissimi, l'omlette di ceci, ottima e il kebab di seitan a dir poco superlativo.

Loved it! - Edit
After two weeks travelling around Sicily we were delighted to find this vegan restaurant. We shared the antipasti dish, order two other dishes and the yogurt cake. There is a lovely garden out back and it was perfect way to spend out last night. We left full and happy.

Great place and food - Edit
The place is very nice and the food excellent. We started with the mix of antipasti (for 2 people) and it was delicious! Then you can create your plate and choice from a menu card 2, 3 or 4 different food. All was tasty.

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere - Edit
My wife and I went to this restaurant and ate in the "garden": part of the restaurant with trees growing in it. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The lunchtime menu (there may be a different evening menu) changes every day, apparently. The choices were all interesting, and we chose a variety of 7 different options, all of which were very tasty. (We bought a "plate with 3 dishes" and a "plate with 4 dishes" to get an interesting selection.) If you don't speak Italian, we would strongly recommend taking a good dictionary (or using Google Translate!), as there is no translation of the menu available, though the waiter serving us did explain the dishes in English as best as he could. We'd be delighted to go there again the next time we're in Catania!

Good food but very slow and nobody speaks english :( We had some fallafels (without coriander and parsley...) with homous.Then some great Seitan alla milanese and good mushroom Seitan (but not as good as the milanese). As desert we took some tiramisu, very good, and ice cream (a little bit too sweet).

Good, clean Macro food - Edit
Haiku seems to offer a small daily menu, generally made up of variations of traditional Italian foods, served on mixed plates. The food is in the macro tradition, consisting of healthy whole-foods, and so while it might not be the right choice if you're crazing a burger or big pasta plate, the food is good and tasty. Also worth mentioning are the desserts; I enjoyed an incredibly creamy chocolate cake which was delicious, and a bit of a surprise after a lunch of (almost equally delicious) rice and salads.

A great place - Edit
I have been here twice in the last month and both times I had a great experience. I went at lunchtime so had the buffet. There was a choice of about nine dishes. The food was delicious and very fresh. There was also an impressive dessert menu with about five options. I went for the pistachio and chocolate ice cream. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Overall the bill was very reasonable. €18 for three buffet options, ice cream and two glasses of wine.
Read moreThis is a great restaurant and I would not hesitate to recommend it. I would definitely visit again should I be back in Catania.

Great food in beautiful setting - Edit
During me and my boyfriends vacation to Sicily we went here twice - first to eat the famous vegan tiramisu ((the pistaccio one is the best) and then to eat lunch.
Read moreThey have a beautiful section in the back of the restaurant that is outdoors - very harmonic and romantic setting. The staff is very friendly - they are located near the train station/bus terminal. AND their food is delicious - we went for lunch when they had a buffet with alot of different choices of food. You could choose two dishes for 8 euro, 3 dishes for 9 and maybe 4 for 10. We chose arancini, wonderful polenta with broccoli, tasty pizza, a seitan stir-fry and vegan omelette. All of this was amazingly tasty and felt actually quite healthy and fresh. We had bio-beer to this that was also very tasty. We will return for sure!
Pros: tasty and healthy, great atmosphere, friendly staff

Great find - Edit
Haiku is a lovely all-vegan restaurant close to the central train station in Catania. Looks great inside and has a very varied menu. If I'dd had more time in Catania I would have definitely visited again. As it was, I had one of the many pizzas named after famous vegetarians. My "Leonardo Da Vinci" had generous amounts of seitan, broccoli and pieces of almond along with a white sauce. Delicious and filling. My friend and I were brought salads as a starter which had a tasty dressing. Afterwards we tried the vegan tiramisu which was incredible. Not only tasted great, but there was a lot of it. Friendly staff, and they had a small garden with tables for outside dining too.

Excellent - Edit
We went two times to this location. First time I had a salad with a side order of creamy mushroom potatoes for an appetizer, and for an entree I had a vegan pizza. It was absolutely delicious.
Read moreOn the second visit the food was delicious as well but there was a minor problem. Our pizza came first, followed but all of our appetizers. Our table was full of food, and we tried to eat all of it as quickly as possible so the food does not get cold. Unfortunately, this ruined the experience, we had to get most of our food to go. It was an unfortunate mistake on somebody's part.
The restaurant features a beautiful outdoor patio in the back.
