Hungarian style vegan options and healthy choices

I wish we could have eaten at Vega City more, as there seemed to be a great many options, and I would have loved to have tried many of their Hungarian style options.

The day we visited, I had the Indian curry - a pea and tofu dish, and also a breaded cashew cheese side, just to try it. Both were very good, and made for a filling breakfast. The coffee was really good too.

Prices seemed really good and portions were large - we had 1/2 portions, which were definitely enough.

Pros: Healthy options, Hungarian style dishes, Plenty of space.

Small price for big portions

The place was big and clean, but could use some more atmosphere. People were friendly and helpful.
The concept was a little bit confusing, because it had many boards of info spread out behind the counter. The people were really kind tough and were happy to explain the different dishes. Me and my girlfriend had the soup, pasta, breaded colliflower and two bionades. (Which was around 3500huf -€12) The portions were generous and the flavor was good, but the food could be warmer (it was close to cold).
We both had trouble with our stomachs afterwards.

If you are looking for a quick cheap bite this place is definitely good. Don't expect high end food but the price is unbeatable.

Pros: Cheap, Large portions, Friendly staff

Cons: Food could be warmer, Stomach aches afterwards

Great vegan canteen!

A big, spacey vegan canteen at a very popular location. They offer different meals everyday, also various vegan burgers and cakes. Everything is very affordable, me and my gf ate a lot (really a lot) for about 15 euros, including the cakes! Many people come here for a meal, it has a nice atmosphere😄You can choose takeaway or sit, there are two floors with many seats and tables.

Pros: Very tasty food, Super affordable, Great atmosphere

Amazing selection - spoilt for choice!

Wow! We found this place as soon as we got off the bus on arrival in Budapest. It’s exciting to have so much choice, it’s like vegan heaven! Amazing lunch options AND desserts. We found it so difficult to choose but what we had was really tasty. We would have loved to go back again but were disappointed to find out they are shut at the weekend! Such a shame!

Tasty, cheap and diverse offer

I just wish it was a buffet. Having to order each little thing separately was a bit chaotic.
But the burger was tasty. The different deep fried and baked savory little things varied from tasty to bland. But I was generally satisfied. Expect queues at lunch. Closes early so not really a place for dinner.

Pros: Many options in small portions, Healthy or decadent, your choice, Cheap

Cons: Long queues , Confusing service

Top Croissant sandwich

I went to Vega City on Monday morning to have a breakfast. I came there few minutes after opening (at 9am) and asked for some options for breakfast, there are not many options for breakfast (go there rather for lunch or dinner) but I was not dissapointef because I've got an amazing croissant sandwich! You should try it. I've got one piece of some pear cake which was delicious too, not too sweet, perfect! It was not expensive at all! Definitely worthy to visit.

Pros: Cheap food, Nice staff , Central

Cons: A little bit unorganized (in the morning) , Not so many options for breakfast

good good great service

I went here a couple of times. The food was tasty and healthy. A really goid variety and different every day. The staff were very helpful. They can do take out and can provide cutlery (for a small amount) to go. I would have gone more. But it closes at 7pm.

Vegan Food from the Counter

Vega City is neither a buffet nor a regular sit-down restaurant. The food is all behind the counter as if you were to take t to go, but you can actually sit down on two different floors in the restaurant.

Most of the food is fast food so I had a ciabbata and some lemonade which were both fine. The oatcake that was recommended to me for dessert was not very tasty at all, unfortunately.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Mediocre taste overall

Lot of vegan food choices

Great buffet restaurant with lot of options, weekly changing menus and lot of fix foods like tempeh, tofu, salads, smoothies, two types of stews ("fözelék"), soups and cakes. Ask for the daily menu and you will get a full plate of goodness for a great price. The staff is always nice. Be prepared for huge crowds during mealtimes.

Great food, very helpful staff

I had a great dinner here. There are lots of all-vegan options, served ala carte, cafeteria-style, including soups, salads, burgers, vegetables, and fried foods. The server recommended some Items with Hungarian flavor, which were delicious. Haven’t tried the desserts yet, but they all look fantastic.

Pros: All vegan, with a nice variety of items, Very helpful staff, Reasonable prices

wouldnt go there next time

Food was fine, bit too salty. Dessert tasted like it has gone bad, I asked the staff how long it is since they made it and told them that it tastes decayed, also noticed others who had it on plate didnt finish. they didnt even care.

Good Food, Friendly Service!

As a couple of English non Hungarian speakers they were very friendly and helpful though there may have been some confusion over the plates! We got a thai burger each some fried seitan and potatoes all of which was delicious! Would definitely recommend to any vegan leaning people while in Pest!

Pros: good value.
