Leckeres lokales Essen in gemütlicher Atmosphäre - Edit
Kleines, sehr familiäres Restaurant mit wenig Sitzplätzen. Wir hatten zu 5 Glück dass wir rechtzeitig vor dem Ansturm beim Abendessen da waren. So konnten wir noch einen Tosch ergattern. Das nächste Mal würde ich lieber reservieren. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Wir hatten die Ravioli und einen Gemüseeintopf und als Nachtisch der Brennnesselkuchen.

Dieses Restaurant ist in jedem Fall einen Besuch wert.
Pros: Lokales Essen, Netter Service, Halbe Karte ist vegan/vegetarisch

Perfetta cena bosniaca - Edit
Diverse ottime scelte vegan, ricette tradizionali delle famiglie bosniache. Verdura di stagione prese da contadini locali. Personale e luogo molto accoglienti. Riservare prima di andare.

Yum - Edit
The place was a bit hard to find because of two different names
Read moreBut look for a yellow building
The opening times are rather weird 2-4pm and then in the evening
We came in the evening but we still got a table
The place is very cozy and the food is delicious
The seasonal vegetable soup was a bit too parsnip’y but the humus with nettle buns were yummy, tho a bit to oily
I came another day to get the baklava but they didn’t have it only vegan apple pie
The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that you can only pay in BAM
Pros: labeled vegan food, Interior
Cons: No card payment , A bit oily

Fantastic - Edit
My first experience of traditional Bosnian food with a Nettle twist did not disappoint… clearly marked menu of lovingly prepared dishes, many of which include nettles, a well known under appreciated superfood, are both tasty and filling. In fact do not underestimate the portion size… my usual 2 starters and a main approach left me stuffed and very happy.

Culinary and cultural experience - Edit
I can only say good things about this place. I tried the vegan sahan and it was absolutely delicious. Best thing I have eaten in years. This topped with the amazing staff made of my my meal here a true cultural experience. We exchanged views on food, culture, traditions and even got recommendations for a great book. If in Sarajevo, I wouldn't miss this place for the world!

Our favorite place in Sarajevo - Edit
This was my husband's and my favorite place in Sarajevo. I loved that the theme of the place was centered around one plant and the different ways that the plant was used to highlight each dish. The nettle bread in particular was really good! We shared a few dishes, including a few of the salads, which were amazing! We even had the dessert (we are not dessert people typically) and were so impressed! Everything is marked on the menu, which is nice. Please try to nettle pesto and nettle bread!

Not the best for vegans - Edit
They have couple of options for vegans but the food is very oily and missing spices. Also I am not convinced that everything marked as vegan is indeed vegan.

Wish I could give it 5 stars! - Edit
Absolutely delicious food on offer here. It's a really cosy traditional Bosnian restaurant nestled away. If you sit downstairs, you have maybe two other tables around you. The menu is clearly marked with coloured circles to indicate what is vegetarian and / or vegan for example. I wanted to try as much as I could eat and can't recommend enough the vegan purple cabbage stew option which included sultanas and strawberries (?!) and into which I dipped nettle bread (a novel one for me). I also had a Bosnian coffee (vibes of Turkish style) tried nettle juice (delicious) and the baklava was decadent. My server changed midway through, with the second one speaking English very well, but even with the former it wasn't a problem re communication.
Read moreThis is a must-do if you want vegan Bosnian food or to see how good a nettle can be - I had no idea!

Amazing! Must try - Edit
We were so lucky to find this place. The food was fantastic and the owner/staff was so friendly.
Read moreHe greeted us in English and when he heard I was trying to communicate I’m Bosnian, he was kind enough to teach me a few useful phrases too.
There are a few vegan options and desserts and the menu is really clear. The atmosphere is also nice - nice decor and relaxing music.
The Baklava may have had honey on. I wasn’t 100% sure, but it’s not a big deal for me anyway. If you want to avoid honey, perhaps check with them when ordering.
I wish we could return!

Great food, big choice of vegan and vegetarian food - Edit
Tasty food served on beautiful traditional plates, friendly staff and cheap prices. You have big choice even as vegan. Restaurant itself is really cute and you can listen there to traditional Bosnian music, what makes the "traditional food experience" even better😄

Great vegan friendly tavern - Edit
Such a nice cozy little tavern with home cooked Bosnian food with a twist - everything is made with nettle! The owner doesn't speak English but we made it work, no problems getting a fully vegan meal.
Read moreVegan options are clearly labeled on the menu, and there are quite a few to choose from. Don't miss the savory nettle donuts with hummus!! The hummus wasn't anything to write home about but the donuts were AMAZING and so affordable. I believe it was 3.5 km for a giant pile of donuts.
Everything else we got was quite tasty as well. It was a bit oily but restaurant food usually is so that didn't bother us - it was high quality olive oil anyway.
Really nice place for vegans in Sarajevo.
Pros: Lots of marked vegan options, Yummy homemade food

Confusing - Edit
Ordered from the vego and vegan menu and was served a plate of rice with veal skewers. At first I thought, this seitan looks and smells a lot like meat. And alas... The owner told me he spoke german so we communicated in that language because his English wasn’t good, but even with pointing at the menu, i was unable to have it understood that I wanted a vegan meal. Very confusing and disappointing as the menu looked quite nice! I left hungry and went somewhere else.

Dear Toby101,
Read morePlease accept sincerest apologies for this mistake. New waiter probably confused the order, even though the segment of vegan/vegetarian menu is clearly separated from the rest of the menu and I cannot understand how this had happened. For what its worth, we are so sorry for dissatisfying experience you've had, especially because at any point we have at least 5-6 veg options to choose from. I will relay your comment to our staff hoping this does not happen ever again.

Very cozy restaurant! - Edit
Great food, great live music, great staff, cheap prices! The food is very tasty and in the menu there is a part dedicated to vegetarian food, so you cannot get wrong; the waitress is very nice in explaining you the dishes. You can bring your non-veg friends, they will be happy! I also liked the position, out of the mess of the old town but just behind the cathedral, so very close to the center

super fresh and yummy - Edit
We had a meal made of sides but it was super yummy! We had a cabbage salad, root veg salad, mushrooms on rice and hommus and home made bread, shared between 2 which was the perfect amount. Super lovely staff and the food was so fresh and tasty! The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, such a cute little place! Would be great if there was a vegan main dish though as what we had was almost the only vegan things.
