Serves meat, vegan options available. A semi-upscale, healthier food restaurant in Bucharest's Old Town. The menu has a number of vegetarian and vegan items, and staff is able to answer questions about ingredients. The size of the dishes vary, so ask. The interior has some doors salvaged from abandoned buildings in the area. Open Mon-Sun 12:00-00:00.

nice atmosphere, okay food

Located near my hostel in the Old Town, I came across Aubergine and decided to try it out at lunch. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside, really nice atmosphere. The menu has a whole vegan section so I was excited about that, however I didn't think the dishes were that inspiring - I chose mushrooms in pesto cream and sweet potato mash. It was quite strange for me eating such a huge plate of only mushrooms as my main meal (with no complimentary bread basket or anything) as it simply didn't feel like a balanced meal and felt more like I was eating 2 sides. The mushrooms were tasty but I found it rather overpriced for what it was and although I felt full (it's such a big quantity of only mushrooms!!), I didn't feel satisfied after the meal.

Pros: beautiful interior, location, vegan section on menu

Cons: uninspiring dishes, dishes not served with anything on the side , bit expensive for what it is

not many vegan options

I was pleased to find this place but not too impressed with the limited vegan options. Only one vegan main (called vegan eggplant) and a few salads and sides. I had a lentil salad that was ok for a light lunch but not a proper meal. If you're not fussed you could put together some sides and salads to make a heartier meal (from memory the sides included falafel and another eggplant dish). All the pastas had egg in them according to the waiter.

Pros: friendly and knowledgeable staff, healthy

Cons: limited options

Beautiful and tasty food

The food here is really great, and they have a huge number of veggies options. Also, the staff is veg-literate, so they can help point you to which dishes are suitable for your diet.

We had the tri-color falafel, couscous salad, and vegan eggplants along with homemade bread. All of the dishes were delicious, and they were all beautifully presented as well. They had a nice variety of colors, flavors, and textures. The three colors of falafel were especially eye-catching, and the flavors of the eggplant dish are memorable as the eggplant was roasted to perfection, stuffed with an assortment of vegetables, and drizzled with tahini.

Overall, we had a fantastic meal here, and I would love to come back next time I am in Bucharest.

Pros: Beautiful colors, Fresh, delicious food, Good variety
