Great curry - Edit
Great vegan curry, probably the best I've ever had. They make fresh juices as well. The place is easy to find and very nice. Staff is very friendly.

A good all rounder! - Edit
I loved Vega City! They had a large selection of smoothies, that you could have in a range of sizes. They also had pre-made cold burgers, where there was a selection of 4 different kinds, all sounding interesting but great. Then they had the buffet style bit where you could pick from a variety of things to have on your plate, or you could order something from the menu of the day. Lastly they had a section of desserts too! I think all their food was available to take away as well! I had a banana, date and rice milk smoothie, which was nice :) Also I had one of their cold burgers, which was amazing, and definitely didn't feel bad eating it cold. The food was really good value for money. I can understand why people would feel rushed here, as it gets very busy. We went just before the lunch rush, so we got a table, but come lunch time the queue was out of the door!

Cons: Not their fault but it gets super busy!

Okay - Edit
Food is cheap and tastes okay. Most of the people were friendly, but one girl was not and threw my change at me while i was very friendly and holding out my hand for the change. I was very surprised at this because I went before and it was not like that...

Disappointing - Edit
We visited Vegacity on a recent trip to Budapest and found it a little confusing – there are lots of different signs with dishes and information on but it is not immediately clear which of it you can order and we found a number of things that were on the boards were not actually available. Given the layout of the place (with a canteen style front that you move along while selecting your food with people with their trays behind you) it’s very easy to feel rushed while you are choosing, particularly as there were about 5 members of staff all staring at us as we walked down the line without doing much to try and help out.
Read moreThere were burgers in the cabinet which we ordered, but we didn’t realize that these were intended to be served cold – they did offer to microwave them but we opted to have them cold anyway, but did not really enjoy them.
Our lack of Hungarian probably didn’t help, but I’m not sure what kind of place Vegacity is trying to market itself as and whatever it is it could do a better job of it.

Great variety and service - Edit
I'm happy with the variety of options at vega city. The price is also Very very good. They had everything from raw vegan to (I'd expect) ovo-lacto vegetarian. Service was good, the vegan pizza I had was a bit toooo dry for my taste, so much so I couldn't cut it with a fork and knife but had to chew on it... and in my salad was a HUGE rock that almost knocked off my tooth (can happen at any restaurant, but I'd suggest they take extra extra care to clean their salads) still service was friendly and forward, plenty of places to sit,and I think their food is good but merits some improvement. It was tasty anyway. I still recommend it, BUT needs some improvments
Read morePros: Seating, Price, variety
Cons: Rock in salad, Raw vegan pizza tooo dry

Schlechter Kuchen - Edit
Mein Mann und ich waren zum Kuchen essen dort. Beide Kuchen sowie die Kekse, die es zum Kaffee gab, schmeckten uns nicht. Bedingt durch die Lage hörte man im Restaurant deutlich den Straßenlärm.

Amazing! - Edit
My partner and I are so happy we found this place! Incredible food, so cheap. About 2 euro for a bowl of their daily curry, and about 3 euro for a burger. The place always has lots of people which is a great sign. Their quality food, great prices are encouraging people to try new foods and hopefully changing lots of mind frames!

Good selection and value for money - Edit
This place seemed to be very popular with tourists and locals alike. It has a wide selection of dishes and we were pretty stuffed! The food is fine for a basic lunch option when you are a travelling vegan but nothing out of the ordinary. The area is nice as you have several good coffee places in the vicinity too.
Read morePros: Good prices
Cons: Pretty ordinary taste - nothing extraordinary

amazing! - Edit
I'm a travelling vegan and found this place on here. It's a super quirky alternative place with daily changing menus. The staff speak English and proudly tell you 'everything is vegan' - I had a daily meal for 1100 and it was a curious mix of Hungarian foods. I just trusted them to pick for me. As a dessert I had vegan cocoa filled pancakes - to die for!

Recommend - Edit
The food was quite good, it had different menus every day so it was very interesting. The portsions were normal, maybe food was a little bland, but not complayning. Acctually it was a bit pricey compared to other food places in Budapest, but still cheap.

Not good... - Edit
This was the first restaurant I visited in Budapest, and it was a real disappointment. Service could have been much friendlier, and the food on offer at the counter did not really look interesting or appealing. I chose the lasagna and unfortunately, it was one of the worst vegan meals I have ever had. It tasted really bland and I couldn't finish it.
Read moreTo give the restaurant another chance and because I was still hungry, I got a piece of chocolate cake. It tasted better, but it still wasn't really good as it was too watery.
The plus about this restaurant is its great location close to Kalvin tér and opposite of the National Museum. Moreover, it is really, really cheap.
I might have tried it again for another piece of cake, but unfortunately they are not open on the weekend.
Pros: Great location , Cheap prices
Cons: Bland food

A nice variety of comfort and health foods - Edit
You can have both healthier (salads, mains, fresh juices) and comfort (burgers, fried veggies) foods.

Worth of a visit! - Edit
As I stepped in to this newly opened restaurant, I had to take a moment to look around and smile: good looking, different kinds of food to choose from, the interior decoration had a good taste; especially those glass stairs. I chose spinatch"sauce" and a cake and both of them were really good. Reasonable price. At 11 o´clock it was still very quiet.
Read morePros: Beautiful interior decoration, Great food, Reasonable price

Vega City - Not Better a Pity - Edit
A large, busy and clearly popular place. You queue up and select items from behind the glass counter which are then plated up for you.
Read moreWe didn't think the food we had was particularly great though. A bit bland and dull and lacking in anything that made it feel particularly special. It was okay.
Pros: Good value, Clean and modern restaurant
Cons: Dull food

All vegan, all delicious - Edit
The staff spoke english well enough to explain that everything they had that day was completely vegan. I had green bean stew and little fried seitan chunks which was divine! We also got a raw carrot cake type thing that was delicious and vegan fagylait. It's served cafeteria style in a quaint and stylish little cafe.
Read morePros: affordable, convenient
