We drove in here on the way, it was worth it!

We ordered 2 vegan burgers and a salad. They were very tasty. The way the food is served is very aesthetically pleasing. It's nice to sit outside, the garden is very nice. Thank you for the water bowl for the dog and the approach to it. Our dog really liked the waitress and was curious each time what she was carrying 🙃.

Pros: Low prices, Food serving, Taste and big portions

Klein aber fein

Das online Menü war nicht up to date also gab es nur noch einen veganen Burger und vegane Falafel. Der Burger war tip top, schön auf stylischem Teller zubereitet mit Spieß in der Mitte und kam mit Pommes und Ketchup. Falafel Platte war auch sehr schön zu bereitet und geschmacklich hervorragen. Bei den Falafel sollte man sehr fettiges Essen gewöhnt sein.

Pros: Sehr schöne Restauranteinrichtung, Aussenbereich mit netter Deko, Freundliches Personal

Cons: Nur wenige vegane Optionen

Fancy place but with limited options

Vala has a large outdoor garden that despite the smokers is very pleasant . The staff spoke English. The insides area is posh and the toilets are nice. It’s all a bit naff what with the gold coloured cutlery etc but hey it’s Croatia! The veggie burger is excellent, meaty and solid though the burger bun is too sweet and there is not quite enough salad in the bun.
I should have checked they really understand the difference between veggie and vegan because they falafel option which was the other vegan option includes tzatziki which worries me!
I’ll go back to check one day and see if they have anything new to offer. No desserts on offer at all!
But let’s be fair by Pula standards this is a good place for ethical eaters! It’s in Croatia!

Pros: Nice outdoor garden., Good burger, Friendly English speaking staff

Cons: Only two vegan options not marked , No desserts

Hello Jon,
We do understand the difference between vegan and vegetarian and our tatziki is vegan made from soy yogurt. We will take your remarks about the burger into consideration.

Also the place is a little naff because I the owner am trashy it’s not the Croatian thing 😉

We change the menu every year and will be happy to host you again.

Hey Antonia, Thanx for the response, good to see restauranteers taking note of HC! I enjoyed the trashyness. Is there a reason why the menu does not state clearly what is vegan and what isn't?
Please forgive the scepticism about the taziki but I have often been directed to food with dairy in and told it is vegan in Croatia (and other places). Great to know yours is soya based, next time, I'll try it out.
cheers Jon

Marvellous Garden with vegan options

The place is very curated and beautiful, I saw the indoor which is modern and stylish. We stayed outdoor in a beautiful garden that explodes with colourful flowers, it has been very relaxing to have dinner there. Two vegan options when I visited. Burger and falafel, food was tasteful.

Pros: Enchanting garden with great variety of flowers, Food was very good and the portion was generous, Staff was very friendly and they speak English

Cons: They don’t have a vegan dessert

Tasteful dish in a nice environment

Nice and cosy restaurant with two vegan dishes on the menu. The vegan colourful plate was a big portion and very tasteful. It had a lot of different kinds of vegetables and the tofu was well seasoned. Unfortunately there were no vegan desserts available.

Pros: Nice garden, Friendly staff, Big portions

Cons: No vegan desserts
