Vegan and vegetarian food has long ceased to be a fad and has become a reality that has coexisted, for some years now, among the other restaurant offerings in any city.

Budapest could not be less, being the capital of the country and such an open, modern and cosmopolitan city. Here we bring you an updated selection of the best places where you can enjoy the tastiest and quality vegan and vegetarian food.

Rira Vegan Food

István u. 5

It is one of the best-rated places in the entire city, and it is no wonder. Their food is strictly vegetarian and vegan, they are environmentally friendly and support sustainability.

Without being simply a restaurant or a cafe as such, it offers a wide range of snacks and dishes full of flavour. Everything about this place is great, but their service stands out, even more so if possible, above everything else.

Mennyország szíve Bio Bolt Organic Health Food&Coffee Shop

Nefelejcs u. 3

Small and cozy place that offers bio organic and health care products. Karen and Richard, the friendly and friendly owners, offer a daily vegan menu that is packed with flavour and health. It is one of those little treasures that you must discover in Budapest.

It is one of the places with the best quality and service in the entire city. And we recommend that you choose the menu of the day to get the most out of your visit. Don’t even think about leaving without trying the chocolate cake, it’s a serious warning.

RépaRetek 

Hernád u. 36

The only way to enjoy this place is to place your order the day before, by phone or online, and pick it up (or have it delivered to the hotel, what a luxury), but we recommend that you do it as soon as possible, because they stop delivering orders around 1:30 p.m. to ensure maximum quality in the final result.

They put all their love and affection into fresh, top-notch products and it shows from the packaging to the taste. The perfect combination for a healthy and tasty lunch.

In addition, they have an event on a Saturday every two months, called “Vegan Brunch”, where you can eat at their location, registering in advance on their website.

Tahina Bite Vegan Food

Wesselényi utca 2

Don’t be fooled by its appearance as a fast food place, this vegan restaurant located at the foot of the Great Synagogue of Budapest, hides great gems in its menu.

Tahina bite, sandwiches, bowls and vegan dips. They are, also, very concerned about the packaging, which is eco-friendly.

Çiğköftem Budapest

József krt. 48

Vegan food that even those who are neither vegan nor vegetarian fall in love with, its secret? Tasty food like you will find in very few places in the city.

Vegan food with Turkish roots and a lot of passion for what they do. It is healthy fast food and another of its positive aspects is the prices; they are fair and do not abuse the “vegan” label which, sometimes, makes senseless prices rise.

Çig köfte, the star dish that gives the place its name, is essentially raw meat prepared in the traditional Turkish way. And don’t forget to also try the Vega Red Lentil Soup.

Tökmag Vegan Street Food

Hollán Ernő u. 5

Very close to Margaret Bridge you will be able to discover vegan soups, burgers and sandwiches made with fresh and tasty ingredients. Street food has no limits and being vegan does not limit its quality or flavour.

It is true that their dessert cakes are quite well known, but their main dish, in addition to great attentive service and beautiful decoration, are their soups of the day, their burgers and the Green Pesto Noodles.

Botané – Mentes Vegán Étterem

Szabolcska Mihály u. 3

Located south of what can be considered the center of Budapest’s main attractions, you will find this place with authentic attention to detail, food that is satisfying and enjoyable whatever your taste or diet.

And that aspect is what makes him so admired and known; Their food is vegan but their customers are not. Customers look for the freshness and flavor of well-prepared food with great customer service.

Szabad Bisztró

Király u. 101

To finish our list, we wanted to include something different, a pub with the soul of a restaurant, or vice versa. Go to Szabad Bisztró to enjoy some onion rings with your craft beer and take a moment to pause your walk through Budapest.

Its location is fantastic, about ten minutes from the Terror Museum, so it’s very easy to get to. It is a GastroPub with personality, with charisma, and with great quality in both its dishes and its glasses.

Balkan Burger, Beet Burger and Bean Goulash are a must in your visit.
