Something different - Edit
I liked Restauracia AJVEGA. The decor was simple and the waitress didn't speak any English but she brought us out English menus and it was easy to understand what was veg and vegan (I'd say 90% of the menu is vegetarian and 50% of that is vegan). You can figure out what's vegan by looking at the allergens code beside each dish (eggs, dairy, and fish are all listed, as well as gluten, nuts etc). I had the bean stew which was yummy and filling and my boyfriend had the goulash which was also nice. It was good being able to try somewhat authentic Eastern European food. Nothing too fancy, but a decent place nonetheless and we left with our tummies full! Also we were very impressed when the bill came. We paid just 15 euros for 2 appetisers, 2 mains and a dessert. Sadly there was no vegan dessert :-(

Good - Edit
"Vegetarian" restaurant serving also meat. Vegan options available. Good place to eat, but do not expect special gourmet experiences.

A great restaurant - Edit
I visited this restaurant at lunchtime on Saturday 2 August 2014. I loved it! They had a great selection of vegan meals, the service was efficient and friendly and the prices were low. I was so happy I returned for dinner!
Pros: Excellent food, Low prices, Friendly staff

The restaurant is really good, with a huge amount of vegetariane meals, and it's really unexpensive. And testy :)
Pros: wi-fi, comfortable place, near the city-center
Cons: The English of the personal is very poor

disappointing... - Edit
After cooking dinners on a small single stove for 1,5 weeks, we were looking forward to some good healthy food and went here. Unfortunately we got a bit disappointed...
The place calls itself a vegetarian restaurant, and it's not until you see the menu that you learn they also serve chicken etc. Maybe the idea of seperating the two parts is nice, in practice it doesn't work.
The interior is nice and the terrace outside is very pleasant to sit on warm days.
The food we got was good but not fantastic (we were quite hungry and ended up ordering way too much...). We did get a free appetizer which tasted nice.
The choice is huge (even too much in my opinion), and it's very extensively written which items have milk, eggs etc. Perfect for vegans you'd say, but here comes the catch: The vegan soup we ordered got some cream in it, which the waitress couldn't tell was vegan or not; the supposedly vegan salad had goat's cheese, but also here the waitress couldn't tell what cheese it was...
In general the experience was very strange. The place feels more like a restaurant where health freaks and dietics would go to because their menu is very elaborate on which items contain what, but in the end the restaurant don't care.
It could be a really nice veg restaurant, but our experience was a letdown.
Pros: central location, nice interior
Cons: staff not knowledgeable, cheese added without asking, 'health food' atmosphere

A Slovakian Rarity - Edit
We were happy to eat a late evening meal at Ajvega in June 2013. The restaurant is an interesting concept: one side is a vegetarian side and the other is the 'diet menu' side which caters to special diets and does serve meat. We ate on the veggie side. The food is simple and satisfying, though not gourmet. It's also very inexpensive. We appreciated that much of the menu is Slovakian and Eastern European food made vegetarian. Then there are meals like burritos as well. We like the cheery colours and the patio too. Great find!
Pros: Lots of choice on the menu, open late, inexpensive
Cons: we saw no tea and few other drinks
