Worst pasta ever

I ordered the burger and it was nice and I loved the sauce but my partner ordered the pasta pesto and it was the worst ever it was full of water without any taste and the pasta was over boiled

Pros: The place looks nice

Cons: Really bad pasta, Not many choices for food, Expensive

Loved this place

Really beautiful restaurant, a small menu but good options. The smoothies are incredible but only served until 6pm. Liked it so much we went twice!

Pros: Good vegan options, Really cute place, Beautiful location

Great After 1:30pm

We originally tried a vegan burger from Pandora Greenbox at a food stall they had set up at Park Josipa Jurja Strossmayera for a spring food festival. We liked it and decided to try out the restaurant in the old town, which is located near the fish market. We'd advise eating here AFTER the fish market has closed (after 1:30pm) as the smell is pretty intense during the day. Our meal was tasty and the cocktails were excellent.

Pros: Interesting menu names, Outdoor seating, Cocktails

Cons: Next to the fish market

Defo avoid and go to FIG

Was really looking forward to eating here with a large table but were highly disappointed. The food was average and small portions. The general ambiance was bad and the staff made everything difficult. Also strange policies in place. No juice after 6pm, no tap water, can’t modify anything on the menu. Defo don’t recommend. Go to FIG instead. It’s amazing!

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Staff, Policies, Portions

Solid choice some room for improvement

Pandora Greenbox offers quirky ambience and friendly service. The two vegan soups we had were lovely though could have benefited from more spice/flavour. The curry spiced pasta was good but the broccoli pesto pasta was one note and dry. The restaurant fills up fast so make reservations or go early!

Pros: Nice ambience — lots to look at, Friendly service , Decent vegan options

Cons: Some dishes could use more flavour / spice

Best of the limited vegan options in Split (of that I tried!)

I went for breakfast and dinner given the lack of other vegan options in Split. I had the Molly Ringwald (chickpea flour omelette) which was novel and not bad (the limited sauce was delicious!) along with the Garica Weed Dream to drink (very limey, would only recommend for the novelty factor).

For dinner, I had the Erykah Badu (delicious walnut soup) to start and the Gina Lollobrigida (homemade pasta with broccoli and cashew pesto and chickpeas) as a main - the main was ok but unremarkable. The like 2 litre fruit infused water was as you'd expect.

I'd go back, particularly given the lack of other (non-fast food) options, and would characterise the meals as pleasant but not special.

Pros: Plenty of vegan choices , Novel combinations

Cons: Not cheap, Not every dish was delicious but tasty enough

Breakfast

We went to pandora to eat breakfast. They have four or five vegan options and thats great. We decided for the vegan omelette and was pretty good.
The americano coffee (normal black coffee wasn't on the menu) was extremly thin and not tasty.
The service could be a bit better but all in all a nice spot.

Average vegan food in the city centre, but overpriced

The place is very cute and the waiters were super friendly and helpful, but the food itself is overhyped. It was an ok meal, and especially for the pasta dish the portion was generous, but still not worth the price, at the end of the day it’s a plate of pasta 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pros: Close to the city centre , Many vegan options (mostly carb based), Cute decor

Cons: Food under salted (for my taste) , Overpriced

Very pretty, good food

The place was very gozy and beautiful! Food was good, not absolutely delicious but good.😄there were also multiple vegan options and i ate pasta with cashew pesto. It couldve been more spicy but it was still tasty. I was also hoping for some vegan desserts.

Pros: Beautiful place, Few vegan options

Cons: No vegan desserts, Better for vegetarians

Lovely vegan hotspot

The breakfast/lunch menu (until 11.45) is very limited but the are several main courses for every part of the day. The inside of restaurant is very lovely and there is also a terrace facing the sun. The service was great; I had my food within 10 minutes of ordering (it was not crowded). The burger itself tasted very fresh but nothing too special. Just really tasty, especially considering Split is not really a vega/vegan hotspot. Pandora Greenbox is quite expensive compared to other restaurants, however. But I would say it is worth it.



Update: Went to Pandora Greenbox again for diner. Food was delicious. For starters we chose the Indira Gandhi, which was truffle hummus with bread. Not only did it look good, it tasted even better! For main, initially I wanted the Elena de La Vega(n), but they ran out of it. I guess that is a populair course, but unfortunately with only 5 main courses, it was very sad. The Gina Lollobrigida was however super tasty. Just needed an extra pinch of salt. As for dessert we shared the Portia de Rossi. Supposed to be an apple cake, but did not have any apple flavor. However, it was still delicious so I would highly recommend it.

Nice but overpriced

Nice interior with lots of light and plants. Truffle hummus was nice but the salad was quite disappointing - leaves, tomato and chickpeas for about 70kn! Good cocktail list which had reasonable prices.

Pros: Reasonable priced cocktails, Nice interior

Cons: No free tap water, Small portions, Expensive food for what it is

The food was amazing but…

The food itself was really tasty and we can especially recommend the noodles with homemade pesto!!!
Because it was well-attended when we came we had to wait almost an hour for our food and had to reserve a table upfront. And even though the restaurant is a little bit more expensive, the main dishes are good portions!
Our tip: Reserve a table beforehand and take the noodles with the homemade pesto!

Pros: tasty dishes, beautiful design

Cons: a bit pricy, sometimes longer waiting times

Nice for dinner

Breakfast menu is very limited but came back for dinner. Dinner menu was just changing and they had introduced a new pumpkin risotto. Very delicious and definitely not your typical pumpkin risotto, different and exciting flavours, tho it was slightly more cooked than I'd like. House white was excellent and reasonably priced.
Portia de Rossi dessert was not edible but otherwise a very enjoyable meal.

A bit disappointing

We were very excited to eat here after reading great reviews and seeing delicious pictures. And it was really refreshing to see that vegans/vegetarians can have a real restaurant experience instead of getting wraps in a take out bistro. So it’s definitely on the plus side! But apart from that, we were quite disappointed. We had an impression the restaurant was just not nearly as good as it sounded. We had a bean dip and a walnut soup as appetizers and while the bean patè was delicious, the soup was the exact opposite as it lacked completely in flavor. I can see the idea behind the dish but it could have used much much more flavoring. As a main we had the famous pasta with broccoli sauce and, well, it was disappointing as well. Quite bland and unimpressive. My husband had bad stomach ache afterwards. So al in all, we expected way more than we got. Considering the hype and pricing, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Pros: Location, Sophisticated restaurant feel

Cons: Overhyped, Inconsistent food

Lovely restaurant

This is a beautiful venue in a great location. We ate here twice and really enjoyed it. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The menu had lots of choice and the food was presented really well.
We tried the pasta, risotto and orzotto and all were a taste sensation! The portions were sizeable, so we had no room for any other courses. There was an amazing choice of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
It was the only place in Split that we had a nice meal and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting, although you will want to make a reservation because they were so popular.

Pros: Amazing venue, Great location, Delicious food

When in doubt choose Pandora

I was at Split a full week and been at this restaurant 3 times. Really nice staff and the location is also really good. Idk what’s the thing with the famous names on the menu, probably should’ve asked… anyway, I had a Missy Elliott chia pudding, that I really recommend if you go there for breakfast (need to ask to make it vegan, so they keep the white chocolate off it). Homemade pasta with pesto was also delicious and the dish I didn’t like was a risotto that tasted just too sweet for me, but I guess some people could enjoy it. Only thing I would complain about is they only have a few vegan options, but definitely recommend.

Pros: Great location, Fresh food

Cons: Few options

Mal was anderes 👌🏼

Durch eine nette einheimische wurde die Pandora GreenBox empfohlen. Der Vegane Burger mit dem rote Beete Patty hat uns positiv überrascht. Super alternative zu den sonst üblichen veganen Patty’s.

Pros: Übersichtliche vegane Auswahl, Zentral gelegen, Frisch gezapftes Staropramen

Cons: Etwas teurer, Beilagen sind extra zum Burger zu bestellen

Sehr lecker!

Wir hatten Glück, weil wir nur zufälligerweise einen Tisch bekommen haben. Abends ist dort sehr viel los, am besten reservieren.
Sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und der Service war zuvorkommend und schnell.
Als Vorspeise hatten wir Tomatenbutter mit Brot, sehr schön angerichtet.
Zur Hauptspeise hatten wir den Burger und die Nudeln mit Kichererbsen. Der Burger war geschmacklich super lecker! Die Nudeln waren gut, aber unspektakulär.
Ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Horrible risotto, ok otherwise

Avoid the risotto, it tastes like canned beans, sickly sweet and undercooked. I can't believe that's on the menu.

Otherwise our food was three star level. The Caesar salad was good and my homemade pasta was sort of decent.

Strangely, the host told us it's all vegan, but when pressed she said it's only 80%...

Good vegan options

We tried to come here one evening to be told they were busy and to come back in an hour, we tried to make a booking for later but this was denied, not sure why?? We returned in an hour to be told it would be another hour, so we gave up.

We then came back another night to give it another chance, we were quite late so managed to get a table.

The venue is a little like stepping into a German beer hall (small hall) with all the wood and faux leather seating etc, but it was a nice atmosphere, I think the outdoor seating would have been nice.

The menu had 50/50 vegan options. So we ordered the burger and the homemade pasta, which were tasty and would recommend! The burger in particular had some great flavours.

We then ordered dessert which took a while for someone to eventually take our order, but 5 minutes later we were told the kitchen was closed, so no desserts.

The service was a little to laid-back unfortunately, which is why it loses a star.

Worth a visit, but you need to be early, late or have the patience of a saint to get a table in our experience.

Refined vegan

An almost fully vegan venue that offers a refined style of vegan cooking.
Classy and attractive presentation of dishes, specially starters.
Generous portions on the mains.
A great Mediterranean taste, very aligned with the local flavour and food culture.
Staff friendly at the table, but very busy if you come asking for a seating without booking in advance (little chance you will walk in, and never before 8:30pm).

Pretty food, poor service

Food looked lovely but don't come here if you're in a hurry, book or arrive early as we had to queue to get in and there was a queue most of the night. All the food was presented beautifully, however the meals themselves were a bit hit and miss. Service unfortunately was bad. Was kept waiting a lot, had to ask for cutlery twice for different courses, long wait times between courses. Other customers were also getting frustrated about wait times. Shame because clearly a lot of thought and hard work had gone into the food. Reasonably priced though :)

Pros: Reasonably priced, food looked beautiful

Cons: Slow/poor service, food was hit and miss

Acogedor

El restaurante es muy acogedor, con una ambientación original. Los platos tienen una presentación muy trabajada, aunque podrían tener un poco más de sazón. El risotto había leído que era muy dulce, pero nos agradó comprobar que no fue así. El camarero nos indicó que hace 3 meses cambiaron el menú, quizás se deba a eso. En cuanto al precio, en la línea de los restaurantes del centro. En líneas generales, una buena experiencia.

Best vegan food in split!!!

We loved it! You have to try the truffle hummus which comes with amazing bread. The salads are bomb as well, as a vegetarian you have to try the fried zucchini with peas and gravy. Great sugar free lemonades, lovely stuff! Only the zucchini carpaccio was a bit sour and not as good as the other dishes…
Even though 10/10👌👌👌
