Universo Vegano In Padova

The food was quite good, not exceptional. The restaurant was not very well-kept though. The tables seemed dirty to me. However, they were kind.

I was there last night, Saturday 17 May, and the managers closed around 11pm. The place wasn't crowded, but it's still worth a visit. It's interesting even if I'm not vegan. The various dishes and food resembled conventional dishes such as carbonara, but in a vegan style. The place is clean and welcoming, with modest prices. All in all, it wouldn't be bad to advertise this place a little, located very close to Sant'Antonio in Padua. Rating from 1 to 10. ...7, because if the waiters were smart or were supposed to do their job, they should go between the tables more often so that they can ask us customers for more orders. In fact, after dessert, no one asked our table if we were satisfied or if we wanted a coffee. However, the staff was very knowledgeable, recommending dishes and ingredients with great care and precision. Well done.

As a couple we visited Veganda as a quick stop for lunch and ordered a “classic” and “mushroom” burger. We obviously missed that this cool dinner-like restaurant atmosphere was strictly vegan. Maybe we also misinterpreted the meaning of “burger” which typically means a patty of ground beef grilled and placed between two halves of a bun. Veganda uses a loose interpretation of “burger,” as applied to any cut bun with a hot filling, even when the filling does not contain beef, such as a chicken burger, salmon burger, pulled pork burger, veggie burger, etc. Veganda also does not specify that what is in between the bun is a Vegan Pattie. Vegan patties are typically beans (especially soybeans and tofu), nuts, grains, seeds, or fungi such as mushrooms or mycoprotein. These vegan burgers have a high proportion of an ultra-processed food, which are typically associated with poor health outcomes. Also, the lectin protein of plants are known to damage the gastrointestinal (GI) lining resulting in the creation of gaps of the GI lining responsible for a host of health and disease problems. So, after an hour of eating only half of this burger creation we both felt abdominal discomfort and cramps. Not a good outcome for something that is toted as health food and costs nearly 10 euro each. I was really grossed out when the staff behind the counter handling food sneezed in to his hands and never bothered to wash before handling customers products. Veganda was a different experience we wish to never have again.

Nice place and interesting menu, the vebab was very good, except that.... The accompanying salad was not washed and was full of dirt and insects. See photo. Not very vegan 😅 We found the staff a little lazy.

Homemade cuisine with fresh ingredients, very professional and attentive service, abundant dishes and homemade desserts. Excellent quality - price ratio. Absolutely recommended

Vegan restaurant-bar in the heart of the historic center of Padua, a stone's throw from the breathtaking Prato della Valle. The colorful and imaginative environment, with both indoor and outdoor tables, offers a pleasant stay, as do the 100% vegetable dishes on offer. The service could be a little more attentive, but I was still able to enjoy courtesy and friendliness during both meals and breakfasts in the morning. For me it was a little happy island, a crucial point of reference as a vegan as I am, in my stay in this splendid city.

Very varied menu offering, friendly and helpful staff. I only tried the vegan burgers and the wraps, good but of average quality, in particular the consistency of the burger was hard. Small piadina, missing a binder among the ingredients, excessive cost (€9.90). Overall prices slightly above average.

The vegan carbonara is interesting. The turmeric felt good. It tied well with the dish. The atmosphere is a bit touristy in terms of aesthetics, but the cuisine is excellent.

I returned to this vegan restaurant and, as always, it was a fantastic experience! The hummus is really excellent, creamy and full of flavor, I found the Vegamisù fantastic, the last time I was a bit disappointed! The waitress, then, was really nice, friendly and very knowledgeable, ready to answer all my questions about the dishes. It is a place where I always feel at ease, and the quality of the food never disappoints me. Highly recommended to those looking for excellent vegan cuisine! I will definitely be back

Very tasty vegan snack in a really well-positioned location for visiting the city. Enviable quality of plant-based offering, courteous staff. I would recommend and return ✨🍀
