No go - Edit
I don't understand why this is listed on happycow.
Read moreThere is no food marked as vegetarian or vegan. After some try and error I was somewhat sure that I did order the only two dishes available without animals. The water did know at least where there is fish sauce hidden. Still, when I got the food, as an afterthought I got notified that the one dip I got served is fish sauce...
The food was bland and tasted like some one just did not put in some ingredients which usually are used. No sign of of people who know how to cook without cutting animals into it.

Very good though limited vegan options - Edit
The guy who served us knew what vegan meant and went through the menu pointing out what is available. Their tofu is fried with eggs for some reason but the noodle dish and green curry can be made with plain tofu. Beware the curry is super spicy hot and even the noodles had some evil yellow chillis in! Though I managed to safely extract them from the bowl. We had nicely done sweet potatoes with a vegan dip rather than the usual one. They do Club Mate so my addicted friend was happy. Shame there aren’t more options because other than the over hot curry the food was very good.
Read moreI guess the trick ad always with a place like this is to make sure your waiter knows what vegan means and then see what s/he recommends.

Pho chay is not vegan (they fry tofu in eggs), but can be made vegan.
Read moreThe broth in the pho chay was good, but the tofu and shiitake were one of the worst i had in my life. Mushrooms and tofu in any instant noodles are much better than in this Michelin guide restaurant.
Maybe egg will give tofu better taste, but I dont believe it.

Tasty but Expensive - Edit
We stopped by here for lunch we’re pleased with the quality of food on offer. The main dishes are labelled vegan and the staff we able to point out which starter would be appropriate too.
Read moreWe had an array of small dishes, such as the summer rolls and the fried tofu, which were more than adequate, but while the Mi Xao Chay main was excellent, the portion size left a bit to be desired. Also, the green curry had great flavour, but was a little thin and again not huge.
The bill came to around 7200 dinar which was a lot for what we had especially as they included a 20% service charge.
Pros: Great flavours, Decent selection
Cons: Small portions, Expensive

Nice Pho - Edit
Istok is not a bad choice for a dinner with omnis in Belgrade. Vegan options are not many and are not marked , but the staff speak good English are kind and knowledgeable about veganism. Also the spices are subtle and interesting, never overwhelming. The dessert - tapioca and coconut pudding - is delicious.
Read morePros: Delish coconut & tapioca dessert, Staff knowleadgeable about veganism
Cons: Not many vegan options, Vegan options not marked

Great Tofu Shitake Pho - Edit
They understood what vegan meant and were able to share that the sauces were vegan and cater to our needs. Food was delicious, though the salad was way smaller than i expected. Also, mango salad is more like pickled green mango salad, which was okay but I don’t know why I imagines sweet mango. Nice place.
Read morePros: Delicious
Cons: Price for portion size

Unfortunately I went and my Pho wasn't great as yours. The one you had looks great.

Oh no, sorry to hear that. This was nearly 2 years ago, so maybe the restaurant changed cooks or recipes. I hope they just had a bad day. May your next meals be so giving.
