Really nice friendly staff, very good food and cozy place. I was two times there.

Najlepsza restauracja na Helu

Pyszne falafele nie były suche i zapychające, porcjami można się najeść i obsługa bardzo miła

Good food next to the beach

I ordered vegan sweet potato lentil curry, it was topped with microgreens and for some reason dill and parsley, but these were only on the sides of plate. Tasty, large portion.

naprawdę dobrze

Jedzenie dobre, dość łagodne, nieprzesolone, restauracja wybija się ponad przeciętny poziom plastikowych, turystycznych knajp w miejscowości

Pros: dwudaniowy obiad, wybór vegan opcji, miła, spokojna obsługa i klimat knajpy

It’s okay

A lot of vegan options, and the price is reasonable. I’ve tried the sweet potato and lentils curry and it was great, the food took longer time to prepare than a non vegan options. I liked it

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Waited a long time for food

A nice surprise!

I was a bit weary about ordering veganfood at the seaside. But I got surprised with a nice veganised Polish dish. I ate the placek po cygańsku. It’s a „potato pancake” with mushrooms and veggies.

Pros: Fast service, Multiple veganoptions

Cons: A bit pricy, but it’s a touristy place

Lentil dumplings were heaven!😄

Very delicious Polish lentil pierogi, rich in proteins and filling for your stomach. Finally I was not hungry after eating something plant-based in a non-veg place. I came there two times during 2 days, the second time I ate potato pancakes served with sauce and sallads. It was also reaally good but lentil pierogi were my favorite.

Pros: Lentil-based meal, filling and protein rich, Traditional Polish-tasting non-meat dishes, Very delicious

Not perfect but it's enough

This place is not perfect. We've visited them three times, in 2019 and this June. Nothing has changed. The food sometimes lacked spices and there were problems with the timings, which i am not that bothered about. The worse part is the pricing. I believe I'd feel a lot better about this place of the prices weren't so high! Overall, as a vegan visiting polish seaside you might get desperate for a hot meal and that place is certainly enough but don't expect it to be the best experience.

Awful food

Because of the name I hoped for something very good, but it wasn’t. We have waited a long time for our food although there were only a few guests. The food Of my partner came as I finished mine. Very bad timing.
The food was horrible. Too much salt, bitter and horrible consistency. And also not fresh. We couldn’t finish our food the first time in a very long time.

Better take your own food to Hel, do not go there

[EN] I know it is probably the only vegan place in Hel, but I strongly advise you against going there. I ate the worst hash browns in this spot. Hash browns sauce was flavorless. There was a lot of fat on the plate, I felt as if the hash browns had swum in excess of fat. I know that hash browns are greasy food but cook should strain food from fat before serving. The upper hash browns were slightly crisp but the lower turned out to be soft slop (it is because of the sauce). Raw salads did not blend in with this dish at all.

This place may have a positive reviews on HappyCow but you should look on the reviews in Google and read them. You will change your mind about this spot. Non vegan dishes were poor and unseasoned as well. I do not recommend this place!


[PL] Zdaję sobie sprawę z tego, że to może być jedyne wegańskie miejsce w Helu, jednak stanowczo odradzam wybranie się tam. Zjadłam tam najgorsze placki w swoim życiu. Sos do placków w ogóle nie miał smaku. Na talerzu było dużo tłuszczu, placki wyglądały tak, jakby w nim pływały. Rozumiem, że placki są tłustym daniem, ale wystarczy je odsączyć od tłuszczu przed podaniem. Lekko chrupiące placki znajdowały się na górze, te na dole okazały się miękką breją (to pewnie zasługa sosu). Surówki nie pasowały do tego dania totalnie.

Może i opinie na Happycow są w miarę pozytywne, jednak wbijcie sobie w Google to miejsce i przeczytajcie inne opinie - od razu zmienicie zdanie o tym miejscu. Dania niewegańskie również były słabe i niedoprawione. Nie polceam!

Very central, a lot of vegan choices

You can choose between sweet (really tasty pancakes) or salty vegan dishes. Every day the offer one or sometimes even two vegan soups of the day. It is a nice bar at the very beginning of the pedestrian precinct with attentive, friendly waitresses.

Pros: Many vegan dishes, Very attentive waitresses , Good prices

Cons: The toilet is quite dirty

Dobre jedzenie

Całkiem miła i przyjemna restauracja. Można zjeść na zewnątrz. Szybka obsługa. Ceny ok. Zamówiłam placki ziemniaczane po cygańsku i były na prawdę dobre, jedyne co mogliby zmienić to dołożyć więcej surówek do dania (na zdjęciach wrzuconych przez innych użytkowników widziałam o wiele większe porcje surówek), w moim przypadku się nie wysilili. Na deser zjadłam szarlotkę na ciepło z lodami (lody na bazie banana, ale bardzo pasowały). Dobra kawa, jest możliwość wypicia kawy z napojem roślinnym.

Pros: Całkiem sporo opcji wegańskich, Szybka obsługa

Danie wegańskie

Happy having found this one vegan friendly place in Hel :)
There are written signs that say "danie wegańskie" which means vegan dishes. It's also clearly declared on the menue.

Pros: Vegan polish pierogi (dumplings), Steamed veggies and potatoes (clean, without oils)

Solid option

Situated right next to the pier, very central location.
English speaking staff is very helpful and can point out vegan options and translate items on the menu (menu is only available in polish). Vegan dishes are marked on the menu that's on the chalkboard. Printed menu has its own section for vegan dishes.
Had the filled potato pancakes which were tasty but very oily and contained lots of garlic.
Nice outside seating.
