VegaCity

Here: 1053 Budapest, Múzeum blvd 23
Both Kálvin square and Astoria are quite busy spots of the city, and if you happen to be there hungry, then lucky for you, VegaCity is right between the two. It is a very friendly vegan restaurant, where there are different daily menus each day and tasty breakfast in the morning. You can have a hamburger, gluten- and sugar-free desserts here, sandwiches, or fresh juices and smoothies. Must-tries are the Gandaburi, which is a gluten free vegan hamburger, and the banana-date cookie, which I made from chick-pea flour.

Find Food

Here: 1078 Budapest, István street 5
Find Food is tiny, friendly and lactose-free, but they serve gluten free, vegetarian and vegan meals too. They mainly focus on sandwiches, soups, and pottages, but they have different daily menus and different cakes per day. We suggest trying their Italian Carraro coffees for our coffee lover readers and their breakfast sandwiches. Currently, there are chicken, avocado, chorizo or pulled pork sandwiches, but they all change according to season.
