Noodles and cZars salad

Had noodles, she had salad, salad would’ve been better. Had fries too, she had cauliflower-dipping-thingies, should’ve had what she had.
Service was excellent.
Located inside the yard (go through the gateway and then at your eleven o’clock).

Great vegan fare with not-so-junky options

Good selection of junk and not-so-junk options, craft beers and cakes (including macaroons! 😋)

Gourmet fast food

I was so lucky they were out of burgers by the time I reached Veg Machine on Monday evening. I got the „Nagu Banh Mi võileib“ (“Like Banh Mi sandwich“) with extra cilantro and it was sooo good! My friend got the Beyond Smash burger which was good, but nothing special. I really recommend Veg Machine, especially the one in Tartu — there’s one at Balti Jaam in Tallinn, but that one doesn’t have nearly as many and as exciting dishes.

Pros: Tasty inventions, Good location, Quick

Cons: Stressed out employees

VM is a good place for a fast bite

I what I really like is that there a vegan can eat anything they offer. I wish the had more healthy food options besides salad and smoothies.

Art style restaurant in the courtyard.

Hidden jam in the courtyard. You have to enter through the building.

Pros: Free spirited inside., Friendly staff

Cons: Menu could include more dishes.

Favourite vegan food place in Tartu so far

Whenever I'm in Tartu, this is my first go-to option when I'm out.

The beyond burger and loaded fries combo is what I recommend.

If you are a university student with an ISIC card, you can enjoy a 10% discount on anything, which is nice as well. :)

Fast food

It's great that there's a vegan restaurant in Tartu but I'm just not the biggest fan of fast food... which is why I got the cesar salad but I guess it wasn't that healthy after all bc of the salad sauce and the sauce they used for the tofu.
Great for a quick meal. Location and interior is amazing.

Pros: Food was served quickly

Cons: Fast food (not a big fan)

Very good cafe

A great all vegan cafe about 15 mins from the centre. As well as burgers etc there was a caesar salad which you could add ‘like chicken’ or smoked tofu to. In a lovely artisan complex.

Yummy

I was unusually in the mood for a burger. The beyond burger was excellently done, and so tasty. The cakes looked awesome too, but I didn't try those.

Pros: Excellent burger, That there are salad choices too, Decor is lovely

Cons: Would appreciate a cooked healthy option

Delicious vegan fast food

We ordered the Wannabe Caesar salad, cheese fries and blueberry milkshakes for a lunch. I was satisfied with everything, especially with the salad and milkshake, because we don’t have them in Tallinn’s Veg Machine. We all loved the food and will definitely come back when we happen to visit Tartu again.

Pros: Good location, Reasonably priced, Delicious fast food

Too processed

I am not a big fan of the menu (too processed) as I do not eat mock meat neither do I care for burgers etc in general. It would be great if they would have a nice veggie burrito or something similar in the menu instead of the very many burgers.

The vegan Caesar salad is ok though and the most healthy choice. It comes with smoked tofu, baked Brussels sprouts and different fresh ingredients & toppings.

They also used to sell vegan “tofish” and chips with coleslaw which was not too bad but this seems to be off the menu.

Tenders are so good

I ordered the tenders and the loaded fries. The tenders are awesome, you have to try. The loaded fries were also very good. The prices are not too high.
The only drawback for me is the atmosphere, it might be modern but it’s not cozy.

Pros: The food is delicious, Not expensive

Cons: The atmosphere

Clean vegan machine of a joint in a cool cultural start up community

Walking into this courtyard is impressive and one can feel the energy of the young creative company vibe.

Veg machine has a great position and good signage and outside space.

The room inside is open and super clean with the walls adorned in really good painterly artwork.

One orders at the counter and I had the tofu salad and the Veg machine burger using beyond meat patties. It was the best I’d ever had.

Some of the staff had been there last year and it was great to see such consistency in the plant 🌱 based community staff wise.

Pros: Only vegan joint in Tartu with great staff , Great community , Outside space

Super tasty fries!

Just what I needed for a quick and tasty indulgent lunch - the loaded fries (enjoyed with a rhubarb lemonade) were amazing!! And it’s always a joy to find at least that one completely vegan place in a town you’re visiting😄

Pros: Everything is vegan, Food was prepared quickly, Compostable take away box and cutlery

Great mall food

I lived in Tartu from 2016-2018 and nothing like this existed at that time, especially not in any of the malls (although you could find great vegan/vegetarian/GF items in all of the malls' grocery stores). So I was excited to try this when we came back for a visit. The prices in Tartu have definitely increased in the last 3 years, but I think that the prices Veg Machine are still pretty reasonable, especially for a fully vegan restaurant.

I got the caesar salad and not only was it delicious, but it was also heartier than I had expected it to be. My husband has to eat gluten-free and the person working there said it would be hard for him to eat anything other than the french fries without sauce. At first it seemed like it would be left at that, but she went the extra mile to put something together for him with all GF ingredients (the Beyond burger patty, vegan cheese, lettuce/veggies and french fries). She also said that they are working on getting GF bread and making more ingredients GF, so maybe next time we visit, it will be easier for him.

Pros: Friendly and accommodating staff, Quick, Cheap

Cons: Not many gluten-free options

My favourite in Tartu

Loaded fries are the best, other things on the menu are also good. I hope there will be even more (and healthier) options in the future!
