"Simone" Not existing anymore - but "Fixelli"

Fixelli is a Bike-Repairshop/ Cafe/ Restaurant wich offers delicious (mainly vegan) dishes, coffee with vegan milk options and cakes. Relaxed atmosphere, nice stuff, tasty food! Worth a visit!

Phoned me to tell me it was vegan

I made an order online of a lentil dhal and a latte with plant milk, they then phoned me after to reassure me it was vegan! It was delicious. Menu changes from afternoon to evening, vegan options aren’t marked as such but there is usually always something vegan on the menu. 2 Lei surcharge for asking them to use plant milk.

Pros: Sustainable takeaway containers incl. for coffee, Tasty, healthy options, Plant milk for drinks

Cons: Surcharge for plant milk, Vegan options not marked on menu

Great place!

This is a place with a really nice atmosphere and outdoors dining area. We’ve had wild muhsroom soup, minsetrone soup and a wrap with grilled vegetables, hummus and avocado, they were all really delicious! (The wrap has to be asked without cheese) The stuff was a bit dull, they didn’t smile even once when we were there.

Pros: More than 1 vegan options, Really delicious

Cons: A bit expensive

Top vegan dishes and friendly staff

They have a daily menu with at least one or 2 vegan dishes. But if you ask, they are happy to make also a special vegan pizza.

Pros: High quality ingredients , Impeccable fast service , Extremely good taste

Best vegan food in Brasov

We ate here 4 nights in a row for our stay in Brasov. We really enjoyed the food and the smoothies, they had plenty of options and a really nice atmosphere.
We found Brasov pretty limited for good vegan food so we were super happy to find this place!

Pros: Lots of options, Lovely staff, Yummy food

Many vegan options

Nice menu with different vegan options including pasta, chilli, bowls, burger etc. There is a vegan desert on the menu but it was not available when I was there. Nice beer and wine.

Went there three times and were satisfied everytime.

Good vegan options

The menu is not vegan nor vegetarian. It contains meat and dairy. But the vegan section is very big and there are multiple options from black rice, pasta, noodles, chili, big appetizers and tofu meals. The choices were not lacking. They also have one of the biggest selections of tea I’ve ever seen. The food was good but definitely overpriced. Also when we ordered the appetizer the waiter told us it would take about half an hour to get it and we said it’s fine we can even have it during our meal or after. Turned out it arrived about 15 min later but the actual main meals took over an hour to make (it was pasta so definitely not something that takes a long time). We asked the waiter twice and eventually we understood they had forgotten to make our order. We were only 2-3 tables of people in the whole restaurant so we didn’t understand how they can forget us when it’s not even busy. We had to leave as it’s had been over an hour we were there so we took the meals to go. When we ate it later the coconut milk noodles were quite tasty but the spaghetti with homemade pepper sauce and tofu were really basic and boring and the tofu was tasteless. We were quite disappointed given the price we paid.

Pros: Good vegan selection , Some meals are tasteful , Good location

Cons: Overpriced , Takes too long to be served , Plain spaghetti

So much choice

Wow so many more choices than we expected and clearly labled. It was hard to chose as it was all great sounding.

All the food we ordered was delicious and flavourful. Friendly service, good portions. We hope to go back!

Food was good

The food tasted good and from what I could see on the menu there were plenty of vegan options to choose from and most importantly they were all very clearly marked. Absolutely no confusion. No questions. No uncertainties. the serving dishes were really unique handmade pottery, which as a potter I appreciate. We were allowed in with my dog, but the waitress was extremely lifeless and she specified that it’s only allowed in the front room not even making eye contact with me (i could see she wasn’t happy about it). Customer service was as sour as it comes. No dog bowls with water. No smiles when taking orders. But over the two days I’ve spent here I realized that this city is not very dog friendly when it comes to dog parks and social life/ bars / restaurants. Though my dog is extremely well behaved. Anyway, if you aren’t traveling with a pet i guess this place is suitable, if you don’t mind the cold treatment.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options., Lots to choose from., One vegan desert option.

Cons: Very cold and sour behavior from staff, Not dog friendly, merely tolerant

Smoothies, starters, main dishes, side dishes, deserts and great draft beer.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Fair price, Very fast service

Nice vegan options

The menu has a fair amount of healthy and filling vegan options. We had the hummus with sourdough balls, the burger and a chickpea bowl. They were all tasty, though the sourdough balls were a bit vapid.
The service was fast and friendly. Overall, a very good experience

Pros: Menu, Service, Vegan coffee drinks

Good

Had a soup from lunch meniu and spaghetti with fried tofu. Both were good, just the portion for spaghetti seemed a little small. Didn't have the vegan burger. If you come during lunch time (I believe it is until 3 p.m.) you can only order from lunch menu, which isn't fully vegan.

Pros: Delicious

Good place, lot of options

This was the best veg. food we found in Brasov in terms of quality vs opening times and price.

At least half of the menu is either vegetarian or vegan, and a big plus of this place is you can get decent cooked veg. food which seems to be in short supply otherwise. This is at heart a vegetarian/vegan place which also happens to have some meat dishes on the menu, as opposed to vice versa.

After reading some reviews here, I tried the spaghetti with tofu and red pepper/paprika sauce. It felt nutritious and filling, the sauce was good and they are generous with the amount of tofu. Perhaps just the spaghetti could be improved a little as it tasted a bit like an inexpensive supermarket brand. Otherwise it was quite good.

The vegetarian quesadilla and veg. burger were also good & tasty. The hummus plate came with a fantastic little side dish of olives, artichoke and sundried tomato in olive oil (the hummus itself was also good).

The vegetable tempura with dipping sauce is quite good. It's not marked on the menu as vegan, but after asking about it, it appears to also be vegan.

The drink selection is quite good, they also serve alcohol. Prices are reasonable for what you get. The decor is nice, like a small cosy pub. The place is open late which is very useful, and fairly centrally located in the old town.

Pros: Good food, lot of options, Nice atmosphere, good location

Cons: No vegan dessert each time we asked

The worst vegan latte of my life

I know this is quite a popular spot in town, mainly for non-vegans as the choice for vegans is rather limited... but please, if you put a vegan latte on the menu, and charge more for it than the other coffees, make it worthwhile. What I got served was simply undrinkable, like you accidentally put a used coffee pad and re-used it again... super watery!

Before paying I notified the staff on duty in a friendly manner about the status of this latte (that I obviously couldn't finish), but they just seemed uncomfortable and presented the bill. Okay then. A client that's honest and provides true feedback is an opportunity (to apologize and offer future clients something better / to offer another, properly made drink so the current client knows this was just a mistake, an isolated event / to scrape it off the bill)... now it's just a bad review.

Pros: Central, Nice sitting space

Cons: Worst vegan latte I ever tasted, Awkward staff, Expensive

Lovely little restaurant

Heaps of clearly labelled vegan options on the menu. We ate here twice during our week in Brasov. The tofu with black rice was my favourite, absolutely delicious! The spaghetti with tofu & roast capsicum was really nice too. Hummus platter entree was really good but not enough pita bread and maybe a bit overpriced for what it is. The vegan burger was okay but the sweet potato patty was practically mashed potato so had to eat it with a knife and fork.

On Sunday nights they have “disco pizza” night, they offer pizzas on this night only and the rest of the menu is limited. There are no default vegan pizzas which is odd for a place with abundant vegan options, but we got the vegetarian pizza without cheese. Unfortunately first time they brought it out with cheese, but they replaced it quickly and it was delicious.

Pros: clearly labelled menu, good variety of vegan options, stylish place

Cons: food slightly hit and miss

i expected more

Since so many users were not just satisfied but enthusiastic my expectations were pretty high.
The vegan options were clearly labeled and numerous. The food was good, but nothing fancy, parts of the vegetables in the quinoa bowl were not edible due to stringiness.
The menu offert vegan dessert, but they didn't have any that day.
The gin drinks sounded very promising but were just decorated gin tonics.
So maybe we just caught not the best day, the staff was very friendly, the drinks came fast, the food took around 40min but was freshly prepared. It was good experience but not awesome and outstanding as expected.

Pros: vegan options clearly labeled, not fast food, but wholesome, good service

Cons: not cheap (40eu for 2), no vegan dessert

Relaxed and cheerful bistro dining

Spoilt for choice with vegetarian and vegan options! We went for dinner and really enjoyed the Chili con veggie and vegetarian quesadillas. Main meals were approximately 20-30 lei per dish. We also had a delicious chocolate berry smoothie and plum crumble for dessert. There are lots of options for teas and cocktails. Staff were courteous and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful. Menu is in English.

Pros: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, Yummy desserts and smoothies, Staff courteous and professional

Cons: Also serves meat

Great service, cool decoration and atmosphere, the staff speaks English and they were super friendly, lots of options, the food was TOTALLY delicious (I ordered the vegan burguer and my husband the Spaghetti with roasted red peppers and tofu - both were perfect!), the price worths a lot (and it is not pricey like another bad places in Braşov). They offered tap water (other places DON'T). I will come back tomorrow for sure in order to have another wonderful dinner!

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Vegan options. Very tasty. Great location.

A very well located place just off the main drag in the old town. Really friendly staff. Several vegan options clearly labelled. Lovely restaurant. Cute decoration and really clean. I will be coming back as this is by far the best place for vegan food I've had so far.

It does serve omni-food, but I would trust the kitchen as the place is spotless and the waitress well informed.

Update: I've now eaten here another two times. The staff are so lovely and the food remains fabulous. The vegan burger and the tofu noodles are great. I'll be back for the next few nights as its by far the best place I've found for vegan food in Brasov. I'd give 5* if I was allowed (prevented as it serves meat).,

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options , Tasty food , Great service/ cheap food

Cons: Not 100% vegan

So many vegan options

The menu is really great, so many vegan options! My kid really liked rice with beetroot and beans but for me two of three dishes were to salty and noodles completely flavorless ☹️

Great Restaurant

Nice restaurant with many (clearly labeled) vegan options. I had the noodles with vegetables which was really good except the tofu was a little too salty for my taste. My partner went for the black rice dish which was also delicious. For vegan desert they had strawberry ricotta which I didn't try since I was pretty full from my main dish but it sounded lovely. Would definitely come back here again.
