Barbarella is a juice bar located on Slovenska Street 38. Owned by Barbara Radojlovič, the chic establishment is known for its fresh and organic plant-based food options. Today, a Waldorf salad was chosen for lunch. The salad, made with lettuce, carrots, apple, stem celery, sun-dried tomatoes in oil, vegan parmesan, gluten-free croutons, and a creamy dressing with capers, soy milk, mustard seeds, and cashews, was both delicious and filling. Priced at €10, the Waldorf salad is considered a healthy yet affordable option at Barbarella.
