Just gorgeous! - Edit
Shtastliveca is a great place for vegans (and probably anyone else!) Vegan choices are clearly marked and include risotto (delicious), pizza (likewise), lasagne, meatless balls, salad and various side dishes. Also, our waiter could not have been nicer and the view from the terrace was outstanding! One of the finest vegan dining experiences we have had, even if it is an omni establishment.

OK 👌 - Edit
Big plus for clearly marked vegan options on the menu. Me and my friends tried a few different things: we didn’t really like lasagne (too greasy), but the “meatballs” and pizza were tasty. Great location, in the nicest part of the city. Prices were reasonable. The vibe was a bit posh for a place like this, though.

vegan lasagne - sooo good - Edit
This restaurant was recommended as the best in town. There are three vegan options on the menu plus one vegan pizza and one vegan desert. I had the vegan lasagne and it was excellent and a very large portion. I felt I had to have the vegan desert but it was meh. Service was excellent. Try and get a table at the back for wonderful views over the valley.

Excellent Menu - Edit
Shtastliveca is a very popular touristy restaurant with excellent vegan options!
Read moreWe started with an excellent vegan dip, and then we had the pizza, lasagna, and quinoa risotto. To finish off, we got a slice of the vegan cake.
The food was very creative, and the dessert was packed with flavor!
Their homemade lemonades are also excellent!!

Plenty of flavorful options - Edit
I was surprised by how many clearly marked vegan options were on the menu. The focaccia was very good, and the vegan meatballs went perfectly with them and were expertly flavored. The moussaka was slightly blander than I expected but still yummy. I was so excited to see a vegan dessert (cake) on the menu and while it wasn’t my absolute favorite and expected it to be heavier on the apricot flavor, it was still enjoyable and appreciated. You can eat and drink like a king here for 20 bucks, and the flesh loving members of my party were very happy with the food as well

Highly Recommended - Edit
This is a really popular place , full of local people ,and the food is really good There are loads of vegetarian options. I would say probably half the menu . Although a bit less for vegans there are still 5 or 6 dishes clearly labelled as vegan.
Read moreIt’s probably relatively expensive by Bulgarian standards but still good value compared to anywhere in Western Europe . Definitely a must if you are in the beautiful city of Veliko Tarnovo

great spot in a city that doesn’t have too many vegan options! i ordered a pizza with nut cheese and an order of roasted veggies thinking one wouldn’t fill me up, but then they arrived and i got a generous sized pizza and a huge plate of roasted peppers, onions, mushroom and more !!

Good place but bad service - Edit
I was really surprised that they had vegan options. Together with my boyfriend we tried several of them, as well as a vegan cake for dessert. The location and food was good, but the service was horrible. I don’t know if the waiter (Nasko) had a bad week or something, but for sure made us feel quite uncomfortable. It seemed like he had no desire to work, and serving was a punishment for him. No emotion and reaction to anything (had to go to him directly to order dessert because he was so focused on his phone the whole time), just doing robotically forced work, and on top had lack of politeness. I’ve seen all kinds of treatment, but this was the top careless service I’ve seen so far.
