Great place - Edit
Not s huge selection but still for Sarajevo nice to have couple of options available. Falafel salad is a must! I recommend visiting.

Bad taste, oily, salty or even bland - Edit
I thought to experience a beautiful energy in the meal, instead some dishes were too salty or oily and some tasted of nothing. The whole setting is posh but the music is radio music and doesn’t match the interior so the vibe is strange. So is the food! No gourmet taste, not even ordinary, super disappointed!

Cons: Expensive , Bad taste, Oily, salty, or blend depending on dish

Worth a try! - Edit
I was really happy to have experienced this place. It has a very nice atmosphere and the house has an interesting story you can read about on the website.
Read moreIt’s expensive for Bosnian standards but average prices when compared to West European restaurants. Definitely worth a try if you’d like fine-dining at a low price.
They have three vegan starters consisting of a soup, a potato dish, and zucchini slices with “christmas” spices. My partner and I tried the potato and zucchini dishes. I was a bit disappointed by the potato, but the zucchini was great!
Unfortunately there is only one main course consisting of a “kebab” patty made of bulgur, and with couscous and grilled carrots for sides. It was very inventive and tasty but I did miss some more fresh sides as it got a bit heavy.
We also got the vegan dessert made of apples, apple sorbet, cinnamon crunch, and Walnut cream. I give my biggest recommendations on that!
Note: the seven course menu mentioned in reviews below doesn’t exist anymore

Sooo delicious!!!! - Edit
The vegan offer was manageable. There were two starters, a main course, a salad and a dessert. However, the waiter knew well about the ingredients and could advise us. The portions are large enough to get full and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The prices are high by Bosnian standards, but absolutely acceptable by European standards. The price-performance ratio is therefore impeccable and the restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The dishes are very delicious and the ambience is pleasant.

Inventive & tasty - Edit
Calm and romantic atmosphere perfect not only for a intimate dinner but also a business lunch or a brunch with friends. Offers a lot of plant based options, they have been expanding and reinventing the menu reglulary, always focusing on seasonal and fresh local produce. Ocasionally Vege brunch on Sunday which is mostly vegan. Everyone is so nice and service is great. The staff truly cares about your experience.

Unique food - Edit
There is a story behind this restaurant which the staff share and makes the place feel all that more special. The restaurant used to be Safija’s house and still has some of the furniture from when she lived there. The food is all based on Safija’s recipe book which she created using inspiration from the different cuisines she tasted on her travels.
Read moreI got the vegan tasting menu, which was 7 courses including some of the most creative food I have ever had.
1. Walnut pate, falafel, caper
2. Marinated asparagus, basil mayonnaise, breadcrumbs
3. Red pepper tatar, dill moss, dill cream, pickled mushrooms, seed crumbs
4. Pumpkin tart, pumpkin sauce, saffron tuile, pumpkin seeds
5. Bulgur wheat, dehydrated tomato pesto, avocado, soy cheese, black sesame seeds
6. Grilled courgette, pea apple and mint puree, cherry tomato and onion salad, plant-based cheese breaded with cashews, sweetcorn, sweet potato crisps
7. Blueberry and cashew cream cake, candy floss, lavender sauce.
Safe to say that I was STUFFED after this!
💵 Would you believe me if I told you this cost the equivalent of less than £25 (50 Bam)?! For a Bosnian restaurant, this is on the more expensive side but I don’t think you could find this kind of value for money anywhere in England. You can choose to have wine pairings with your food for 40 Bam extra.
If you ever visit Sarajevo, you have to check out this restaurant - it’s really one of a kind. 💫
This venue is the most beautiful restaurant I have visited in Sarajevo and would be perfect for a special occasion such as a wedding reception.
Pros: Friendly staff, Beautiful ambience, Unique food
