Nein danke - Edit
Leider bekommt man keinen der freien Tische mit Rucksack und in Freizeitkleidung nach einem langen Sightseeing Tag.
Read moreBegründung: 4er-Tische sind nur für 4 Personen, obwohl auf den anderen 4er-Tischen jeweils auch nur 2 Personen saßen. Auf so einen Laden kann ich verzichten!

Best vegan restaurant - Edit
The food was inventive and delicious. We went twice and enjoyed different food both times. So nice to have a full vegan restaurant where we have choice of what to eat instead of just two dishes on a menu in other places.

Very nice place! - Edit
Fully vegan and very nice. Lovely outdoor seating and friendly and helpful staff making good recommendations.

Pros: Fully vegan , Great staff , Fun dishes

Il ristorante vegano che vale l’intero viaggio - Edit
Ci siamo recati da “the botanist” che non c’era posto e una sorta di temporale in corso. Abbiamo dovuto aspettare un’oretta prima di poterci mettere seduti ma già dall’antipasto ci siamo resi conto che avevamo fatto la scelta giusta!!! Abbiamo preso un antipasto in due, un main course a persona e il dolce di nuovo diviso in due, una torta bounty deliziosa…il tutto accompagnato da un cocktail fantastico ai frutti rossi. Circa 75€ il tutto ma è stato davvero ottimo, nulla da invidiare a i migliori ristoranti Michelin. Il servizio eccellente, non c’entra molto, ma fa la sua parte.
Read morePros: Il menù interamente vegano, La “carne” la migliore mai provata, La polenta più buona del solito

Worth the whole holiday - Edit
We had the cheeriest waiter, who was super helpful, made great suggestions and even saved my cake from when I first sat down to ensure I got a piece! I got the filet mignon equivalent and I am planning a holiday back to have it again. Price is equivalent to an upscale steak house and it was all vegan. My partner had the stew and loved it. The cake of the day was good, but the raw cake was a creamy masterpiece. The coffee was divine. And after this experience my jeans no longer fit.

Not as expected - Edit
As someone already wrote - didn't quite live up to the expectations we had after reading the great reviews. The service was great when we were seated but it ended there. We waited for a very long time (>1h) for fancy-named but ordinary veggie stew and hummus on toast :/
Read morePros: Fully vegan which is always a plus, Has dessert, Tasty beer
Cons: Basic vegan food, Long waiting time, Bit overpriced for what you get

Best Place in Croatia - Edit
Zadar as a city is okay but not the burner. The Botanist saves everything! First, the location can't be beat for dining out. The staff is super friendly. Our waiter loves his job, you could tell that and he was really great as a waiter! The food looks great, tastes great (okay, I had to ask for salt) and also fills you up. The prices are absolutely fair for everything you get there. I've been to every big city in Croatia and this is the best restaurant in Croatia I've been to so far!

What a Newcomer - Edit
The Botanist is an amazing addition and fully vegan! We tried the common cockchafer (tasted like roast beef with onions) & the aye-aye Burger and both of them tasted pretty great!

Had some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had here at The Botanist. They are an all vegan restaurant and they really have something for everyone here. Highly recommend to both vegans and non-vegans!
Read moreI had the stone of the sea soup, the fillet mignon and cocounut chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was very tasty and the wine that they recommended to me was also very good. I’ll be back again and again and again😄
