Good food, great prices, amazing cakes

With cafeteria vibes, this place looks like it's perfect for local students... and people on a budget.
The food is cheap, the portions are huge (I really mean that) and there's much choice.
The menu changes daily, we had 3 different daily meals, some were better than others but I guess that's normal considering the variety of dished (don't get me wrong, none were bad, but some were super good and others were okay).
The cakes & desserts are delicious and cheap, please get them if you go there.
Check the menu for the week beforehand (online) so you can see which day looks best for your taste!

Pros: Huge portions, Great desserts, Friendly staff

Cons: Some dishes weren't amazing, but still good

Great food, nice prices

The vegan gyros is the best in the city and they have a huge selection of meals and nice desserts too.

One of the best in the city

I live in a college dorm near the restaurant. I'm poor, I'm vegan, I'm lazy and to tell the truth I hate using the kitchen in my dorm (because I share it with ~25-30 other people) so I usually buy my lunch here. Moreover, it's literally opposite to my university, so after class I just have to walk 100 meters and here I am.
I usually buy "Daily mix" what is really-really cheap and contains every kind of stuff (a stew, a side dish, some salad and a vegan wheat meatloaf kind of thing).
The staff is super cute, they are very kind, I love them.

Pros: cheap, super nice staff, very close to the city centre (and to my uni)

Cons: sometimes their bank card terminal has problems

Really affordable

Vega City's mission is to make veg foods available to anyone, so if you're on budget you're gonna love it.

Tastewise it is not the most impressive thing though, if you want to introduce vegan food to someone this is probably not where you would want to start.

Pros: Affordable

Cons: Watered down taste

Standardly enjoyable

It was affordable, with a fairly big queue awkwardly snaking around downstairs, but good service. The food was fine, though not inspirational. Lots of choice however.

Students’ dream

Studying in Budapest as a vegetarian/vegan can be pretty costly, but this place is a good choice if you want to eat inexpensive and be healthy at the same time. Certainly some food are not as good as expected, but I think it’s fairly normal for a place like this.

Update: tried their gyros, it would be the best food ever if it weren’t so salty:(

Pros: Daily changing, wide menu, Cheap, Easily accessible

Pros: Diverse, takeaway, bring your own container

Cons: Crowdy during lunchtime

Cheap Vegan Meal

A good place for a simple and cheap meal. There are plenty of tasty options and the portions are good. However, if you're looking for a fancy location I would not recommend this restaurant. Vega City is more of a vegan homemade fast-food place for a hungry city break.

Pros: Cheap, Plenty of dishes and menu options, Very central location

Cons: Fast-food restaurant atmosphere, Closes early, Greasy Indian bread

Cheap but a bit disappointing

This place feels like a school cafetaria. The food isn’t really better.. some of it was cold, soggy, bland.. It’s really cheap though, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Tasty filled croissant!

We had some delicious filled savoury croissants and coffee. There was a wide range of food, it all looked very healthy. Lots of locals bought tubs in and filled them up with things like stew to take home.

Pros: Cheap, Nice seating, Spacious

Cons: Poor quality, Cold food and coffee

Good fast eating option for a good price

A self-service restaurant with lots of options to eat. Foods are simple, but well made. Do not expect high-end meals, but for the relatively low price you pay, you will get something decent. This is pretty rare in Budapest. Expect longer queues in the lunch hours.

Pros: Good food for the price, Many options to choose from

Cons: Longer queues in lunchtime, Short opening hours

We really liked the concept


We really liked the concept of seeing what you want to eat and not having to read a menu of names you don't know. The choice of dishes is large and can suit anyone. The food is fresh and delicious, the price is cheap and the place is pleasant.

Pros: Good food, Cheap

Cons: Non
