Here are the 5 best vegan places in Budapest – PHOTOS, UPDATED

January is the month of the vegans, and such restaurants are no longer hard to find in Budapest. Szeretlek Magyarország collected the five best ones in an article to help everybody looking for a restaurant that offers this type of food.

1. Szabad Új Hely

Szabad Bisztró was the first vegan pub in Budapest. The owners opened a new restaurant in Budapest’s 8th district, the Szabad Új Hely (1084, 30 Víg Street).

You can find only vegan drinks here and it is also a perfect bistro. You can eat classics transformed into tasty vegan dishes like Hungarian layered potatoes, cheese burger or Hortobágy-style pancake without meat, and Hungarian gnocchi.

Szeretlek Magyarország’s author chose NemFish & Chips, which included French fries with peas purée and remoulade. NemFish was a fried jackfruit mixed with algae, perfectly spiced.

They have a daily lunch menu for only HUF 2890 (EUR 7.5), comprising two courses.

2. PINGRUMBA

Pingrumba is not a vegan place, but thanks to its Middle Eastern kitchen, it has many kinds of vegetables on its menu. Therefore, they can serve vegan dishes like hummus dukkah, muhammara, beetroot-lentil tabbouleh, fried parsnips, fried cauliflower, Middle Eastern house-made pickles and bread. The author’s favourite was the muhammara. That is a pepper cream with nuts, pomegranate, parsley and olive oil. Both its taste and texture were fantastic, the author wrote.

Furthermore, you can taste unique non-alcoholic drinks here.

Address: 1024, 6 Széll Kálmán Square

But they have another restaurant in Dob Street (Pest Side), Dobrumba (1074, 5 Dob Street).

Moto Pizza

They have a perfect vegan alternative, the Marinara, which costs only HUF 2,500 (EUR 6.5). There are only two original Naples pizzas protected by the European Union; one is Marinara.

There is San Marzano tomato sauce (D.O.P.) on the pizza dough with garlic, extra virgin olive oil, basil and oregano. Thanks to the high-quality ingredients, one can only adore it.
