Decadent and creative - Edit
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here, my only advice is to consider the volumes of the individual dishes depending on how hungry you are.

Most delicious vegan food in Florence - Edit
I found this place a day before I left Florence - and it was the best of all spots I’ve tried. Unique interior design, best food and great atmosphere overall. Be sure to make a reservation beforehand. A bit hard to find but it’s a gem once you get there!

Beautiful spot with lots of vegan food - Edit
Beautiful venue. Great wine. Lots of vegan options, clearly marked. I personally enjoyed the dessert and tisanes more than the main courses as they were a bit experimental for my taste, but you might love it!

Amazing! - Edit
The food here is so good!! The tortellini was probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life. A must try! I also had the seitan masala and a salad with beans and potatoes and it was all just amazing! They have vegan desserts too!!!! I will go back next time I’m in Florence!

Amazing! - Edit
The location is stunning and the food was delicious! We didn’t have a reservation but luckily they had a table for us. The menu is very unique and it is hard to chose what to eat because everything sounds so delicious! We loved it here and will come back if we ever get to Florence again.

Good food meh experience - Edit
I write this well aware of how Americans are perceived in Italy, but this was the only place I did not feel comfortable at in my time in Florence. The food was good. I got a tortellini filled with potato tasted more like a pierogi and a rice and lentil dish. The rice dish was over seasoned and I did not care for it, but the tortellini and the two sauces around it were delicious.

Cons: Service

Fine food, lovely relaxed atmosphere, helpful friendly staff - Edit
We turned up without a reservation and place was super busy. So make sure you have a reservation. They offered us a table on the proviso that we could only have it for an hour, which was fine with us.
Read moreWe both ordered the taster plate, which consisted of a salad, first, and second course dish. My favourite dish was the Potato and Ginger Tortelloni. My partner found it very difficult to decide on her best dish, but eventually went for the fresh pasta. Desserts were a little disappointing. Wine was really good.
Pros: Ambience of the restaurant, Super tasty food , Great wine
Cons: Desserts were a tad disappointing

Fresh vegan pasta - Edit
One of the rare places in Florence where you can try freshly made vegan pasta (the sundried pasta spaghetti was delicious). The 20 euro plate let's you try 3 different dishes and the serving size is massive. You can also go here to just get coffee and cake (all the cakes in the cabinet were vegan on the day I went 😊). I recommend booking as they get quite busy.

Best meal in Florence - Edit
Such fantastic vegan options. I ordered the combination plate so I could try the most things and the portions were probably 2/3 of the regular item- very generous. Even dessert was delicious. Recommend asking for the house wine- it was a delicious red when we went.

Art bookshop and cozy eatery - Edit
Away from bustling streets of Florence, this cute bookshop and eatery is the right place for a relaxing lunch or intimate dinner.
Read moreFood was amazing: for 20 euros you can compose your plate with salad, pasta and main.

More than a restaurant, more than a bookshop - Edit
Even when the kitchen is closed Brac remains open, serving up delicious coffee with vegan milks and vegan cakes, biscuits and panini. A cool and relaxed oasis away from the mad crowds and great. We have been coming twice a day

Tasty food in a fun and quirky spot - Edit
Fresh, vegetable-filled food with interesting flavor combinations, like potato & ginger in the tortelloni. Fun to try 3 different smaller portions (a salad, primo, and special) on the plate instead of just picking one, although because only about half the menu is vegan, it’s tricky to get the perfect combination.
Read moreVery fun atmosphere and cozy cafe vibe. Friendly service, lovely books to browse.

The location is super cute. It's a bookstore, but they serve you dinner and lunch in the back room. The food is incredible. Highly recommend.

Amazing vegan food - Edit
Lots of vegan dishes on the menu, I tried the homemade pasta with artichokes and spinach and the chocolate cake and both were very delicious! Also eating in a bookstore is just so cool and unique.

Tasty modern Italian food - Edit
Heard things about reservations would go, but walked over and they sat us right away without them. Had a picky kid, and they made plain pasta for them no problem. Food for others was very good, though rich. Having the combination of items was good so you can balance flavors. Ambiance is nice. Some light jazz and bookshelves. The courtyard tree with fetters was neat. Would try here again, though maybe not every day.

Wife and I decide to go to Brac Liberia. Slightly off the beaten track and What a GREAT decision it was. Food was outstanding. Service “par excellance”. Wine - the lady of the house suggested and brought me an absolutely delicious glass of an Italian Chianti.

Amazing food in cute bookstore - Edit
We loved our lunch at Brac, they offer a vegetarian/vegan menu with many fresh options. We took the option where you could pick three dishes that were served on one plate. The food was creative and flavourful. The staff was super friendly enough it was a joy to have lunch at this hidden gem!

Beautiful setting, kind of disappointing - Edit
This was on my list of places to visit whilst in Florence and was also recommended to me by one of the ladies who worked in a nearby shop!
Read moreThe location is amazing and very unique however I thought the food was lacklustre. Unfortunately we missed them serving hot food so was only offered the baked goods and hot drinks, there was a few vegan cakes available but nothing mind blowing. I had a cookie and a smoothie.
I felt the staff were not very accommodating and a bit stand offish, maybe because we looked a bit lost and confused as to where we could sit and what food was vegan but I thought they would be used to that working in a tourist city. Just simple things like not helping us by opening the door with hot drinks etc .. just the little things that make your experience more enjoyable!

Great food - good staff - Edit
They have several vegan options available (all labeled). All the items we tried were quite good.
Read moreThe staff seemed nice but a little lethargic when we first arrived for our reservation, taking a full 20-25 minutes to even get us the wine menu (after having to ask).
Would still recommend for a nice dinner experience!

Amazing food in a cozy book store - Edit
My husband and I were led to Brac by positive feedback of some friends and the interesting concept of a restaurant in a book store.
Read moreIt absolutely exceeded our expectations! Some of the best vegan Italian food we've ever had. For 18€, a full plate with a pasta dish, a main course and a salad, with 2 to 4 vegan choices per course.
Absolutely recommended .
Pros: Interesting concept, Tasty food

Perfect spot for a coffee & treat - Edit
Such a peaceful space! We stopped by here to grab a cup of coffee this morning & read for an hour. I enjoyed a soy cappuccino (unsure of what other milks they have) and a slice of vegan banana bread with a soy-based whipped cream. Both were delicious! There were three cake/pastry options that were vegan and the brunch menu seemed fairly easy to veganize. We ordered at the coffee bar & took our drinks to sit in the patio space outside. Really lovely & the staff was so helpful in telling me whats vegan.
Read morePros: Non-dairy milks, Vegan sweets, Peaceful, quiet setting

Yummy and quaint and inexpensive - Edit
I don’t know why it’s vegetarian and not completely vegan. The vegan food was delicious. And a very quaint little shop with good wifi. A little hard to find. There are no signs out front so be sure to have the street number at hand so you can find it.
Read morePros: Flavorful , Quaint atmosphere , Inexpensive
Cons: Hard to find , Not full vegan menu
