Nishta Pure Vegetarian Restaurant, Dubrovnik

This absolute gem of a restaurant is one of my favourites.  One of my friends stumbled upon it last year whilst roaming the streets of Dubrovnik and took me there, and this year I just had to go back.  It was amazing!

Nishta is small and compact, so either book in advance or turn up at a bit of a random time, or just be prepared to wait for a bit really.  It is definitely worth it though.  Their menu clearly distinguishes what is vegan (most things are), vegetarian, raw, and gluten free.  All this makes ordering an absolute breeze.  


Home-made iced tea.  In what is one of the cutest bottles going around.  Loved it!



I opted for a 'small' (read: enormous) salad bowl, and chose from a plethora of fresh ingredients and pre-made salads.   It was vegan and gluten free.  Because we were feeling quite hungry, we decided to share the starter pictured below.  Called 'Simplicity' this beautiful dish is raw zucchini pasta accompanied with three different raw sauces: sundried tomato-date-olive oil sauce, pesto with fresh herbs and sunflower seeds, and a creamy cashew nuts sauce.  It's vegan, gluten free and raw.  


Chewy decided to go for the veggie burger, which was a barley-lentil-bean burger with smoked seitan, vegetables, and sweet potato sticks, and is also served with a coleslaw salad and nishta-made ketchup.  It is fully vegan.



 

Nishta can be found in the old town of Dubrovnik, and I highly highly recommend going there even if you're not a vego yourself.  Last year we went with a group of boys, and all of them thought it was delicious.  Definitely worth a trip to Dubrovnik in my opinion!
