:) - Edit
Very nice place, excellent food, extra-friendly staff. Be aware that the servings are XXL, at least for my standards. We had to give up and bring home something. So... if you are reading the menu and you find yourself thinking about trying this, this and that... well, think twice :)

Pros: excellent food, very friendly staff, XXL portions
Cons: XXL portions can be a problem as well :D

great food, fair price - Edit
We ate at this lovely restaurant for two nights in a row. Friendly staff and customers, very reasonable prices, great menu, delicious food.
Read moreWe tried the vegetable-lover pizza (amazing), the grain burgers with french salad (delicious) and the fried pancakes (yumm!!). They also make great fries and our friends seemed to be very happy with their Sunlight Platter For Two. I also recommend their ginger lemonade.
Other people have mentioned that it is a bit out of the way but I disagree, it's only 10 minutes away from a metro station and a 10min walk from Szimpla kert (one of the most popular bars in town). Plus it is totally worth the walk.
Pros: low prices, friendly staff, deliciousness

Lovely place - Edit
You'll find a big offer of different dishes and very friendly people working there. Their English is not the best but it's ok to order something. They understand German pretty good.
Read moreYou find different cakes and can buy some vegan stuff like milk and cookies there to take with you. Lovely atmosphere.
Prices are absolutely alright. Only bad thing is the location which is not central at all.
Pros: Big offer, Prices
Cons: not central location

Awesome - Edit
Great place with mostly local cuisine and portions you won't be able to eat because they're simply too big! Besides that the staff is really friendly and helpful too. We went to eat here two evenings in a row before we unfortunately departed again...

Vegan Pizza and sweets - Edit
Absolutely awesome place. We tried Vegan Pizza and cutlets, portions are huge, waiters speak English, my meat-eating friend was amazed by the atmosphere and great taste. The only downside is not-that-central location.

Highly recommended! - Edit
This is an amazing place - I can't believe we found such a gem. It's like a little cosmic bubble of vibrancy in Budapest. The food is absolutely delicious.
Read moreWe were in town for five days and ate here twice.
Everything is vegan... and there really is something for all tastes. Portions are generous. Compared to England (where I live) the prices are unbelievable value. We spent less than half the money that we would for equivalent food and service in the UK.
There's self service salad bar with lots of choice, speciality hugarian dishes, pizza (made with spelt base), pasta dishes, soups, rice and potato options lots of side options and a whole array of other things. There are about three pages of different teas (including Yogi tea) to choose from, as well as drinks such as freshly juiced vegetable and fruit juices. They seem to like to use spelt instead of wheat, which has a much more conscious feel to it. We enjoyed a dessert to die for. A spelt sponge walnut cake, with carob sauce, soy whipped cream. There was a cabinet full of vegan cakes and pastries too. Everything we tasted was amazing.
The multi-lingual staff were really friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great.
I cook vegan food for retreat groups, so I can be quite particular about what I eat, yet I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this place. It's my favourite find!
We'll be back!
Pros: Amazing food, excellent value, friendly staff

Loved It!! - Edit
We had the platter between two and it was fantastic! It is mainly fake meats with some vegetables and a devine 'cream' sauce. Our dessert was amazing - we had a slice that had a wholesome base. Service was great and it is a lovely restaurant.

This is probably the best restaurant of all times!! Superfriendly, English-speaking staff, reallyreally tasty food, HUGE portions (we were planning on having dessert but we got too full after the main course) and everything is VEGAN :D
Read moreThe price is probably average compared to other restaurants in Budapest, but compared to "my Swedish measures" it's still really cheap!
If you're in Budapest you MUST visit Napfenyes Etterem!

Astonishingly good, perfect! - Edit
This restaurant sets awfully high standards to food and it is probably impossible for other vegan restaurants to match the outstanding quality of food, the warm decor and the enormous amount of choice in pizzas, pastas, hungarian dishes, salads, soups, bread, pies, i can go on for a bit -. I went here twice in a 5 day stay and both times it was comfortably full, the service was immaculate, always time for a small chat and a smile. This place is a restaurant for anyone who wants to have a great dinner in a very nice setting with lovely staff taking care of everything swiftly and gently.

The best vegan restaurant in Hungary! - Edit
I've been in Hungary several times and only now discovered this restaurant. It's one of the best vegan restaurants I've ever been to. There is a lot of choice, the portions are big and they have a pastry/cake section with amazing cakes! I had a pizza with vegetables topped with lots of vegan cheese. I was probably the best pizza I've ever had. The cakes are delicious.

Fabulous Hungarian Vegan Specialities - Don't Miss - Edit
If you are vegan and enjoy, or want to try, hearty, flavourful hungarian food made with so much love then you must go and eat here. first trip to budapest was a wonderful experience as a vegan with so many options but by far, this was my fave. the portions are huge, like family style, so best if you can share. i ate some hungarian cabbage roll with filling over mashed potatoes. i am still looking for a way to make those potatoes at home. amazing. and the deserts, well the creamy cakey that everyone else has raved about...is true. xtra yumyum. so if you are in budapest and especially if you are vegan..don't feel left out on all the amazing hungarian food around you....GO and EAT here!!!!

Budapests nr 1 vegan restaurant - Edit
This is the vegan restaurant where you could bring someone for a romantic date, or treat yourself and your friends or family with a nice dinner. The setting is that of a fine restaurant, the service is superb and the food is really good.
Read moreFantastic soups, pizzas and other nice dishes. Everything is vegan. Yeah!
The price is low too, so what are you waiting for - go there!
The portions are really big, but if you can't manage to eat it all they will ask you if you want a doggybag, and yes you do want to. :)
Pros: beautiful atmosphere, fantastic service, tasty food

Fantastic Place - Edit
I LOVED this restaurant. The food was excellent, and it was so fun to be able to eat Hungarian food. Normally, as a vegan, I don't get a chance to eat local food. But this restaurant let me do that. The staff was also very nice and spoke English. When we went to tip our waitress, she was kind enough to tell us we were tipping her too much (we weren't used to the currency yet). I was very impressed by that. The portions were large and very filling.
Read moreThe restaruaint is a little hard to find (because it's not a busy street) but well worth it. This was my favorite restaurant on the trip. The menu is in English too. This is a must for any vegan (or evn meat eaters).
Pros: excellent and interesting food, friendly staff, English menu

GREAT! - Edit
Absolutely one of the best vegan restaurants I'v been to! The menu is good, salad buffet available and the service (in English) was very good! Prices good even from a hitchhiker's point of view. All dishes were big and beautifully done. The setting is a little boring, but cosy and more with an evening fine dine feeling.
Read morePros: Vegan, also traditional, Big, tasty, beautiful portions, Excellent service

Although this place was a little hidden away it is totally worth seeking it. The Staff are friendly & the portions of food are HUGE & inexpencive. We worked our that we both had a starter & a Massive maincourse, with drinks, for about £18. A really Enjoyable experience.

Was so good I had to keep going back!! - Edit
Visited on 26th, 28th & 30th May 2010. This is one of the finest Vegan restaurants I've ever been to! The menu contains 2 soups, 5 mains including traditional Hungarian meals minus the meat, 7 sides, 8 very inventive pizzas, a self service salad bar, a huge selection of cakes that are also available to take away, various teas, organic coffies, homemade juices & lemonades and a seperate specials menu with 4 meals that change daily. They don't serve alcohol. The portions are huge and it's very affordable. The restaurant is below street level and has a great atmosphere, the staff are very helpful and friendly. If in Budapest this place is essential!!!!

I came here with some friends who said it was a wonderful place. They were correct, the staff are very friendly and the food is fantastic. I had the spelt pancakes with mash. It was huge and i didnt get a starter because it was huge. But very tasty :) My friends said the golaush was also wonderful and we all had lemonade with rosewater. Average price a wonderful meal.

THE BEST in Budapest - Edit
This is the best vegan cuisine in Budapest. The chefs are first class, they really know their job and use fresh, organic ingredients. There's a daily special every day and a regual menu, both contain Hungarian dishes vegan style. The pizzas are just exellent, especially the Hungarian Pizza (Magyaros), and when lasagne is on daily offer the restaurant is full from morning till evening.
Read morePros: great food, good Hungarian food, best pizzas
Cons: the service is a little slow

Fantastic - Edit
Can't heap enough praise on this place. Not only is the food sensational, but it's reasonably priced for a big city. My wife and I were here in November for two days and ate here three times. Try the pancakes - incredible. You don't get hassled by the staff, the seating and restaurant is nice and the food fresh. Haven't got a bad word to say. It can be tricky to find, though, especially in the dark.

Marvellous - but beware enormous portions! - Edit
Finding this restaurant was no problem having checked it out on Google maps before leaving for Budapest. It was a little bit of a walk from the 4/6 tram route, but worth it.
Read moreWe visited twice - the first time we had Goulash soup for a starter, then vegetable pancakes with creamy mash for him and potato wedges with seitan for me. The portions were IMMENSE and I just couldn't finish mine - this wasn't a problem, it was boxed and bagged for me to take away with me.
The second time, I had the vegetable soup and we shared a main course - they were very happy to split the dish between us and in fact it arrived on two separate plates. They were happy to provide half portions of their dishes too. We had the fried Cheezly - not a great fan of Cheezly myself but this was very nice. We had room for pudding after sharing the main course, I had Somloi Galuska and Mr Weev had Gundel pancakes which were the special that day.
I bought some recipe books on our second visit, a good incentive to improve my Hungarian!
The standard menu has English and German translations - the daily specials are in Hungarian only but the two staff members we dealt with had very good English and the language wasn't an issue.
We loved the food and were pleased to be able to visit twice during our stay. Would highly recommend to any veggies and vegans going to Budapest.

Vegan pizza - Edit
The real draw here is the vegan pizza. It's not cheap by Hungarian standards, but $10 for a whole vegan pizza is pretty good I think.
Read moreA word of warning: I am not, nor have I ever been, a big pizza fan. I don't even remember what non-vegan cheese tastes like and tend not to like vegan cheese, finding it too greasy for me.
Having said that, I found the pizza just okay. Honestly, I would have liked it better (predictably, since I don't usually like vegan cheese) without the cheese. I ordered half Hungarian style and half veggie lover's. I preferred the flavors of the Hungarian pizza. But I think if you've been missing pizza and want something heavy, this will be perfect for you!
Pros: Vegan pizza
Cons: A little heavy for my taste

Cheezly!!! - Edit
Even though it's been 2 years since we were there, we agree with all the excellent reviews below. We went twice (no problem finding it, but it's between two different metro stations, so a bit of a walk). We enjoyed the Cheezly pizzas enormously. I also tried a seitan and potato dish. The potatoes were just perfect - crisp on the outside. We also purchased the puffs and pates to go from their store area. But the real mention is the Cheezly. We bought that to go as well and ate it straight up on our bread the next morning at the hotel. Awesome.
Read morePros: Cheezly pizza, perfect potatoes, store area

Possibly the best restaurant...ever - Edit
Napfenyes was admittedly hard to find on our first night in Budapest, but it was late and we had no idea where anything was. Once we found the glowing green sign and stepped down into the cellar, we were starving and anxious to get some good vegan food. We were not disappointed! The menu has lots to choose from, portions are substantial, and everything we tried was delicious. It was especially fun to try authentic Hungarian dishes prepared veg-style. Service is friendly but not overbearing in any way (true of all the places we visited in Budapest). There is a nice salad bar if you're craving fresh veggies and a few shelves of natural food products in the hallway if you need something to snack on later (try the paprika corn puffs!). When you've eaten all you can, walk up to the counter and ask for takeaway boxes for your inevitable leftovers, pick something out of the dessert case for later, and pay your bill at the register. Prices are high for Hungarian standards, but pretty average for someone from the US. Please visit and order a pizza if nothing else - Napfenyes won't let you down!
Read morePros: everything is delicious!, Hungarian food prepared vegan, Cheezly!
Cons: not in the US :'-(, nothing else compares!
