Nettes veganes Bistro - Edit
Ein nettes kleines Bistro an einem schönen Platz an einer der gefühlt 1500 Kirchen in Lucca. Die Bedienung ist freundlich, das Essen (wir hatten Bowls und Rosinenbrot zum Dessert) einfach, aber gut.
Read moreDie Rosinen im Brot sind sehr süss und fruchtig-nichts im Vergleich zu denen, die man in Deutschland im Brot hat.
Preisleistungsverhältnis: okay
Pros: Schöne Location, Freundliches Personal, Preise okay

ok stop for a healthy lunch - Edit
I enjoyed my stay in this local, as the staff were very nice and the food arrived quickly. I liked feeling that I was eating something healthy, but unfortunately, the meal felt a bit bland and had the quality of a canteen. A very good one, but not what I'd expect from a restaurant with restaurant prices. The dishes were very filling, and I liked the bread that came with the meal. The soup was notably tastier than the Buddha bowl.
Read moreI really wish it were a bit tastier, because this place seemed super lovely. If my university offered meals like this, I'd be in heaven, but for a restaurant it wasn't enough to make me want to come back.

It was okay - Edit
We had the Buddha bowl. It was incredibly bland and had no real flavour except a small amount of sauce that was drizzled on top.
Read moreIf you enjoy steamed vegetables or want a healthy WFPB option, this place might be for you. If not, I wouldn't recommend it. We paid 34€ for two bowls and a coke, and for that amount, I would expect more.

Il signore, non si sa come mai, ha innescato una guerra con il mio locale… scrive su tutti i siti… ci sarà stato o è un fake??? Non abbiamo possibilità di saperlo perché nessuno si prende la responsabilità di garantire. Bella la foto…

Lovely place in the heart of Lucca - Edit
I enjoyed my healthy meal at this small eatery in the centre of Lucca's old town. The dishes may vary day to day, so you'll have to see what's on offer when you arrive there. It's got good vibes and nice staff.

A small pearl in Lucca' old town - Edit
Small fully vegetarian & vegan restaurant (serves no meat) in the historical centre of Lucca, on the lovely San Giusto square. Squeezed between a bistro/bar and another restaurant. Menu consists only of vegetarian and vegan items and in part changes daily. During our visit the had 4 vegan items (see photos), all were very good. Staff is friendly, service is fast. In- and outdoor seating.

Quick vegan option - Edit
Small vegan cafe. Would recommend to eat outside as inside you sit on tall stools. Friendly if rather eccentric service. No menu or prices to look at - you are told what is being served and have to take a bit of pot luck as to what you get ! The food we had was absolutely delicious- we had a huge Buddha bowl which was very good, and a hearty soup. Not fancy but very good. Would recommend for lunch or a quick supper.
Read morePros: Completely vegan, Food was very tasty, Large portion sizes
Cons: No written menu or prices, Inside seating a bit uncomfortable

Good stop for lunch. - Edit
We stopped here for lunch and had a good soup and the Buddha bowl. They only have a small menu but very different things.
Read moreThe place was very crowded at lunch time, so it took some time to order and get the food.
The place is more a bistro than a restaurant.

Un buon posto per un pranzo veloce - Edit
Locale carino e informale nel centro di Lucca. Ideale per un pranzo veloce, consumando un piatto unico e completo. Abbiamo preso un Buddha bowl e un burger. Ottimo il primo, con ingredienti freschi e cucinati dal cuoco del locale, buono il secondo. Peccato che gli hamburger non siano preparati freschi ma confezionati. Comunque un buon posto.

Good, Hearty Food - Edit
This is a small shop. The menu consists of a few items, most vegan, and will be shared orally. I had the Buddha bowl, which seems like a popular item. It was very tasty and filling.

A bit dodgy - Edit
Food was great but no menus or pricing. They just told you what was available and made up a price at the end. The owner seems a bit shifty too!
Read moreBeware if you’re visiting to check pricing before as apparently “card reader was broken” despite us seeing people paying with card before.

Nothing special - Edit
We had the Buddha Bowl and the vegan burger and it was ok but not more than that. The vegetables were overcooked and the burger was quite neutral.

Fabulous vegan/veggie healthy food! - Edit
Amazing Buddha bowl of scrumptious goodies that were all vegan. A few veggie options as well. No milk served at all so black coffee or booze or soft drinks. Lovely chef and front of house, very friendly. Delicious, healthy and very reasonable price: what’s not to like!
