Really tasty food - Edit
We went to Budapest with school for one week. The first time we were there (with my friend who is also vegan), we were overwhelmed by the options. We ended up ordering too much for two people but we still somehow managed to finish. One reason for our success is the great taste of the food. We ate there the following 3 days, too. You can also take your food with you. It was so cheap that we always tipped nearly the same amount the food cost. I can highly recommend the Retroburger and the breaded vegetables (but everything else, too)
Read morePros: Great variety of cheap options, friendly staff (not annoyed by too many questions), delicious
Cons: Scary stairs made out of glass (but manageable), very full in the afternoon

Great place! - Edit
Went here not expecting much, but my expectations were blown away! Amazing food options and everything is so tasty! My biggest regret is being so full I couldn't try everything. Non vegan hubby loved it too.

not impresed - Edit
When I saw this place I made sure I went in to try it whilst in Budapest but now I feel I cheated myself out of a better experience.
Read moreIt says vegan restaurant on the front but I was told some of the smoothies were unsuitable because they had milk in them so not sure why cows milk wouldn't be subbed in a vegan restaurant.
I went for the falafal plate and maybe that was a mistake because it wasn't even average. Not that cheap either.
I felt, on the whole they were trying to cash in on the clean eating/healthy food fad rather than striving to offer good quality vegan variety.
With hindsight I should have gone to one of the other great vegan places in town and that would be my advice to you also. However, I guess if you're stuck and hungry it's good to have somewhere as a choice.
Also, no dogs allowed - any vegan establishment worth its salt allows dogs and has snacks/water for then too.
Pros: clean, friendly staff
Cons: milk in some smoothies, no dogs allowed , food average

Lots to choose from! - Edit
I have to admit I was a bit overwhelmed by this place and not entirely sure how it worked. I think payment related to plate size or weight, but there were also burgers that, perhaps, were priced differently? (I should've used Google Translate, I think!) They had a really wide range of dishes, with lots of vegetables, which I was dying for! Be very careful carrying a full tray up those glass stairs to the mezzanine - I nearly took a tumble!

Okay - Edit
I ate here in October last year and I got a gyros plate, it was cheap and really good.
Read moreMy friend had falafel and was not satisfied at all.
We didn't have a lot to choose from, they were out of a lot of things and the staff was helpful but seemed to be a bit bored maybe stressed.
Pros: Cheap, Good gyrosplate
Cons: Not much food left, Bored staff, Crowded

Delicious Vegan Food - Edit
This place has a wide variety of foods to choose from including soups, pasta, more traditional Hungarian foods, seitan, veggies and more. I went at a busy time and found it a little overwhelming trying to choose what I'd like as people behind me also wanted to order but the choices I had were fantastic.
Read moreI started with a Thai Coconut soup as Hungarians always start their dinner with a soup. It was delicious. I also had a crumbed seitan patty/fillet and then a lasagna which was very creamy and had an almost cheesy texture. My non vegan friend enjoyed it a lot.
Service was friendly but a little rushed.
Atmosphere was busy but didn't feel too crowded. Upstairs seating is spacious enough.
I would return for sure.
Pros: Friendly staff, Wide range of food, All vegan
Cons: Gets very busy, A bit rushed when ordering

Busy, but hearty food - Edit
It was quite busy so you do have to queue for a bit to be served but it's all fast food, pre-prepared so once you're served it's fine.
Read moreThe burgers are cold so do get them with some warm potatoes if it's cold outside.
Cakes were really hit and miss, we bought 4 varieties, the chocolate one was ok, vanilla one was nice, the fruit ones were awful. The texture is very weird.
Pros: Hearty food, Selection is good
Cons: Desserts weren't great, Busy, Space

Decent food at good location - Edit
The place is the former Lé Bar which has moved a few doors to a bigger place and changed its name, but the concept is pretty much the same. Tables on the main floor and on the gallery. The location of the place is perfect if You are a tourist and looking for something to eat in the city centre. It is very close to the synagogue.
Read moreStaff speaks English. In high season at around lunch time, tend to get very busy and hot inside.
The selection is nice, there is a daily menu - only one dish - at a fixed price, the rest is a mix of fixed prices and based on weigth. For health conscious vegans this place will be a heaven, for somone looking for spicy food and new flavours, welp I would say You might get disappointed. In my view the taste of the food is way to plane and spiceless to me.
Prices are okay in terms of European, international context. Daily menu at around 4 Euros, the rest is based on weight, so it hard to make a rough estimate since it depends how much You eat. If You are hungry and would like to get 3 courses and a drink then around 10-12 Euros.

Good food to eat in and to go - Edit
Had a fine lunch there. Very nice ambiance, especially upstairs.
Read moreSome of us had a selection of items. One way is to pick a bowl size and fill it with salads, fried vega-meat, etc., Some of us had burgers. All had deserts. All the food was good. Especially liked the deserts.
Really good option to get a selection to go for a picnic or for the next airplane or train ride.
And reasonably priced.
Pros: Nice ambiance, Good selection, Great for to go options

Buffet style restaurant - Edit
We came to Vega City at lunch time and it was incredibly busy. It was also very hot inside. The buffet is quite complicated, but the food was very good. All in all, Vega City is a nice place for a short stay.

Great cakes for cheap! - Edit
Unfortunately I only had time to grab a slice of vegan cake here, but I was very satisfied with it! The place is right in the centre and easy to find. It has lots of space and changing menu. The cakes all looked so appealing, and there were even raw ones and ones without sugar. Really cheap price and tasty too! Suggested!

Excellent, inexpensive food - Edit
I dropped by this place just before returning home.. In addition to checking out and acquiring a few more local specialities, I also took the opportunity to fill up a whole box with vegan food for my trip. I took a little bit of everything, and it was all equally good and tasty.
Read moreThe only downside was the lack of ice cream (especially given the fact that we had 38 degrees), and that I had to wait due to a couple of previous customers who wouldn't make up their minds, they kept asking questions instead of actually ordering.

Good everyday vegan food - Edit
They have quite a lot of choice but since we were really hungry, we both took daily menu but it's nice that even there you can choose between a couple of options. The meal was simple and good. Almost all the drinks were "super drinks" but we got tap water upon request, which was really nice. Really inexpensive, could eat here everyday. Tried a bounty cake too which was ok but not mindblowing.

Simple, Interesting, Vegan - Edit
I went here with my gf twice. First experience gets a 3 cow rating, second gets a 5 cow so it can vary. It is a very popular place not far from the river. The crowds and signs everywhere can get intimidating but speak to the staff, they're all nice enough and speak English.
Read moreFood was okay first time and great the second, they have a large array of choices including great smoothies and desserts.
Pros: Ideal for a quick bite, Great variety , Affordable
Cons: Confusing system, Too many signs
