Opening in 2022, the restaurant is the talk of the town. Already, its location on the riva (next to the university) has great potential at sunset. The formula is quite unusual, since it's a true vegan restaurant (the first in Zadar!) with a gastronomic trend that's right up to date with the times. With legumes, seeds, cereals and vegetables, there's a lot to do here. The meat substitutes, particularly in the burgers, are astonishing. Creativity is the order of the day, both in the dishes and in the cocktails, with or without alcohol. Reservations recommended.

The Botanist was outstanding. The quality of food was excellent. Don’t think of it as a vegan restaurant, think of it as a restaurant worth visiting. Price was good considering how great it was and service was outstanding.

Hello, my name is Gustavo Hernandez, an enthusiastic professional cooker (with studies) and I spent more than my summer 2023 working at the botanist giving my best with the knowledge and skill that I’ve learned trying to make some magic there serving good food to the people who pay this expensive menu made with THE CHEAPEST ingredients!
And at this time I don’t want to talk about how is the food.
I just want to uncover in public the truth that no worker in my situation did before, but I think that is important to make public this kind of things to try to finish with this situations for the new people that can suffer them!
- First, this place is taking people and let them work for a while without permission or in some cases without contract until inspections are getting there…
Then unfair and senseless discounts from the salary of the people who is working hard shifts and those hard conditions in that kitchen.
The last month that I worked there (the hardest one of the season) I was stolen with a big part of my salary (because I was not full paid by deposit in bank account how every normal worker. I was paid one part in bank account and other part in cash… You know taxes avoid).
Well, the part in cash was missing from this payment disrespecting 9 hours shift daily that I was making or some days 10 or 12 hours shift, in conclusion instead they pay me for work, I was the one who pay to them to work????????????.
This problems in that place, unfortunately were not just with me, some people before suffered them and it’s possible that new enthusiastic people will suffer them….
My only purpose is to make conscientiousness for the people to think about if they want to support this kind of corruptions where they don’t care and take a lot of advantage of the good people who is just looking to make an opportunity in the season…
There are some more things but I don’t want to spend too much time explaining everything…

If you read until here, I appreciate that you took the time to do that to know some truth about the face behind what is happening when the costumer is enjoying the meal… and the last thing:
Without any fear, showing myself using this platform to write some truth…. Gustavo!

(Picture of me still in their instagram) and I will post it wit this review because besides every bad thing, the feeling of cooking was never stained ????????????????????????

Es war einfach rundum herrlich! Die Lage an der Promenade ist wirklich sehr schön und wir haben den Sonnenuntergang beim Essen beobachten können. Auch die Räumlichkeiten des Innenbereichs sind in einem modernen Stil und passend zum Namen des Restaurants mit vielen pflanzlichen und grünen Elementen eingerichtet, weswegen man hier bestimmt auch an kälteren Abenden eine schöne Zeit verbringen kann.

Nun zur Essenz. Das Essen war einfach nur spitze. Wir haben drei verschiedene Hauptspeisen bestellt und voneinander probiert. Noch nie habe ich so leckeres und zartes veganes (!!) Fleisch gegessen. Die Burger waren ebenso gut, aber ich würde empfehlen, eines der anderen Gerichte zu probieren. Die „Fisch“speise hat uns alle vier aus den Socken gehauen, es war nicht nur unglaublich schön angerichtet, sondern hat auch geschmacklich positiv gepunktet.

Die Bedienung war super, der Herr hat uns sehr freundlich alles erklärt und sogar Tipps gegeben und Fragen beantwortet. Man kann zudem über eine Lampe am Tisch nach Service fragen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden definitiv wieder kommen.

Absolute Herzensempfehlung!

I am not vegan, nor the vegetarian, i am old school meat eater, but the food in this restaurant is delicious and I can strongly recommend this restaurant to anybody. You will not regret. They also have amazing wine offer. Domestic hi end products that can easily compete to any popular french/italian brand. And of course, the service is top,the ambient top... 5 stars without thinking
