Best vegan place in Bratislava

I visit this place on a regular base from opening.

I recommend to try burgers. Service is very nice, they kept the standard very high for years. There is a good vibe in the restaurant.

For improvement I would recommend to add more light food with more greens and less potatos as that is mostly the core of daily meny meals.

Their weekend specials are always great. Would be great to have Pho or Tom Yum on the regular menu.

Great tasting food

We really enjoyed our meal here. We ordered the garden burger and fries, which was so good and a ribs special, which again was super tasty, which had some crazy hot chillis with it. All washed down with a lovely beer.

Pros: Very tasty food, Friendly staff, Cute bistro

Cons: Slightly salty fries

Good, but that’s all it is

I don’t get the big hype, since it’s recommended highly everywhere you look at. It’s a cute little place, the food is good, but not great. There are no starters on the menu, so you could try many things - you would need to go for a main course. Rather smaller portions. It’s a good option to try, but don’t expect it to be amazing.

Amazing food

We went to the restaurant on a saturday evening and were lucky to get a table. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice, the decoration fits very well. We had a californian burrito, the asian bowl and the dessert plate. Everything was incredibly yummy. Compared to western europe the prices were pretty low, we payed 36€ for all of our foods including a liter of homemade lemonade.They even have glutenfree burger buns. I totally recommend going there.

Amazing

I went here for dinner last night and it was incredible. I had the homemade strawberry lemonade and the Balans burger, both were delicious, but the burger was one of the best I’ve had since going vegan 5 years ago - and the portion was huge! The staff were also so friendly and service was super quick.

Pros: Lots of options for both food and drinks, Lovely staff, Good portions/affordable

One of our best experiences in years

It's been a long time since my girlfriend and I have been so enthusiastic about a vegan restaurant in the countries we have traveled to. The food was both super comforting and rich in flavor, we loved it. Among the three delicious dishes we took (pea risotto, cuban sandwich and tom yam vith beetroot gyoza) the tom yam was particularly outstanding. This place is a little gem, and we dream of coming back to visit Bratislava with the sole intention of returning.

Best Vegan Restaurant in Central Europe

I honestly wasn’t at better restaurant in Central Europe. They do it so well that even die-hard carnivores like to eat here.

Pros: taste, quality of ingredients, lovely, professional and kind staff

Great place

Near to train station. I had quesadilla. It was great but a lot of mayonese so it did not taste like mexican food. Really nice staff.

Amazing place

We only had a day in Bratislava but thanks to this app we had one of the best vegan meals that we have had on our trip, I had the sloppy joe which was awesome and my wife had the burrito bowl which she loved too. I just wish we had another day here now so I could eat it again.

Such a great menu

This place is fantastic. There is a great patio in the back. There are drinks I've never seen anywhere else like rooobus lemonaid and seabuckthorne ice tea. It was truly challenging to choose a dinner option as well.

Pros: One of a kind menu, Super drink list

Cons: A little expensive

The best vegan place in Bratislava

We visited this place with my husband and tried few meals - burger, sandwich and Buddha bowl dessert. All of them were so incredibly tasty ! Place is also very cozy - you can sit inside and also outside on the terrace. We met also some people with dogs there, so also pet friendly 🐕
