Best vegan place in Bucharest - Edit
Level Up is a cute cafe/restaurant with a wide menu and cosy vibe. There are seats outside on the path, or (for us, preferable) a number of tables in the basement of the building.
Read moreThere are veganised Romanian dishes as well as staples such as Beyond Burgers, vegan chicken nuggets, tofu burger and pizzas.
We can only judge the place in front of us, the staff were helpful, the food was good and provided good value.
Pros: All vegan, Relaxed vibe , Inside and outside seating close to old town
Cons: Drink selection could be improved beyond bottles

Lovely and tasty place - Edit
We ordered the traditional dish (Sarmale), level up burger and cheese cake for dessert. All was very good. The ability to eat traditional food as vegan, is exciting. Also, there is a large variety of dishes. Highly recommend.

great experience - Edit
This small restaurant has a lot of vegan dishes , by the way is totally vegan, and I came to adore it. we had a sharing experience with my co-workers and ate some pizza with Salami and a Smokey burger which was fantastic, a cake called Revival which was soo fresh. The lady from the kitchen is very pleasant and counseled us about the dishes in the menu and helped us to find the best . Though I would come back, to try other dishes in the menu.

If you are in Bucharest, you must go there - Edit
I'm in love with this place. It looks unassuming, but the food is incredible. You can get both fast food and pasta here, as well as traditional Romanian dishes in a vegan version. You have to, absolutely have to try the papanași; I went back for it three times. One of the best things I've ever eaten.

Must-visit vegan restaurant in Bucharest offering Romanian classics - Edit
Level Up is one of the rare fully vegan restaurants offering Romanian classics, and it did not disappoint. I tried the VegFriptura Spare the Lamb, which was absolutely delicious. The seitan steak was exceptionally good, not dry or spongy at all. For dessert, I had the veganized version of the classic papanasi, which was also very tasty.
Read moreThe staff at Level Up is incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the prices are very reasonable. This is a must-visit restaurant in Bucharest for anyone looking for fantastic vegan food. Highly recommended!
Pros: excellent vegan food, veganized Romanian classics, friendly staff, affordable

Absolutely phenomenal food - Edit
If I could give 7 stars here, I would. Initially when I got to the restaurant, everything looked ordinary, but nothing is ordinary about the food. The beyond meat burger was well prepared and tasted absolutely phenomenal! I nearly fell off the chair when I had my first bite! 🤩 I also ordered sarmale (traditional Romanian cabbage rolls) for take out! You will have to try it yourself. I am going back the next few days!

Had to go back again! - Edit
During our 3 day stay in Bucharest, we really enjoyed the food at Level up twice! The food, atmosphere, and service was great! I had the traditional stuffed cabbage with polenta and cashew cream and this dish was excellent and huge! I loved it so much I ate it both times! We were a group of 4 so we enjoyed the WOW pizza (too big for just one person), burgers, nuggets, traditional meititei, crispy fresh FF, papanasi traditional donuts with loads of cream and blueberry sauce. We loved the downstairs room and really chilled after a long day of touring. The servers were helpful and so happy to have us there.

I'm going to be thinking about that stuffed cabbage for a long time - Edit
Honestly incredible food; I wish we had gone back the next day of our trip. I had the stuffed cabbage and some sort of traditional sausage (I couldn't decide so ate two mains, no regrets) and my boyfriend had a pizza and then we had snickers and bounty bars for dessert. It was absolutely wonderful, staff were great. I had a glass of wine and he had a beer and it came to about the equivalent of £20 which coming from London absolutely floored me haha

Vegan versions of Romanian classics - Edit
Typical Romanian food isn't particularly vegan friendly, so it was great to find a place offering vegan versions of some of the nation's classic dishes. We tried the sarmale (stuffed cabbage leaves served with polenta & sour cream) and the mici (spicy garlic sausages). Both were very tasty and quite filling, especially as we added a portion of fries to go with the mici. You can also get burgers, pizza and other western food but it would be a shame not to try something local. Everything is freshly made to order, so service can be a little slow but it's worth the wait. Prices are very reasonable - we spent around 90 Lei between two of us, including a shared 500ml bottle of local beer.
