Top 8 Vegan Spots in Budapest
I just got back from a trip to Budapest this month and it was amazing. Not only is it a beautifully diverse city with tonnes to do, it’s also got tonnes of great vegan food to seek out. Before heading across I did some research using Happy Cow and reading through some blogs to make sure I hit all the best spots. Whilst these were great guides, I also found a couple of hidden gems myself.
Top 8 Vegan Spots in Budapest
To give you a true idea of what all these places were like, I’ve filmed a YouTube video sharing my experience at these places and showing off the amazing food:
Countdown
8. Kozmosz Vegan Etterem – Loads of traditional, veganized Hungarian dishes on the menu but lacking in flavour. A great place to enjoy vegan wine, beers or spirits.
7. Ecocafe– A vegan-friendly and organic coffee shop which offers non-dairy milks, a vegan baguette, a vegan pastry and raw vegan desserts. This is a beautiful cafe with great tasting drinks and food but limited options – best for lunch.
6. Vega City – This place is 100% vegan, really cheap and serves a new menu every week. If I were to ever move to Budapest, I’d want to be as close to Vega City as possible.
5. Fruccola – A great place to go with non-vegans as they serve a lot of different healthy dishes with a few vegan options. I totally recommend their vegan fry-up which features aubergine bacon. They clearly label allergens so it’s easy to spot what’s vegan.
4. Las Vegans – If you’re wanting to binge on some vegan junk food, look no further. Las Vegans offer delicious burgers and pizzas that taste incredible. Most likely found within a street food market, head to Las Vegans when you’re looking to explore the city.
3. Flow – This vegan coffee shop offers amazing coffee alongside a wonderful vegan menu. If we had discovered this place sooner we would’ve spent a dinner here, however we only got to try their appetizers. These were absolutely delicious. Another plus, there was a resident pooch pottering about.
2. Fragola – Thanks to Fragola, Budapest is now a city you can enjoy with a vegan ice cream in hand! Fragola aren’t a vegan ice cream chain but they always have a few vegan options on offer. The flavours seem to switch up depending on the day and location so you’ll soon see a flavour you’ll love. When Tom and I visited temperatures were reaching 30 most days, so this definitely helped Fragola reach such a high spot in my countdown.
1. Mazel Tov – Tick both ‘ruin bar’ and ‘romantic meal’ off of your list with Mazel Tov. This ruin bar was revamped with plants and fairy lights creating a beautiful date spot. They aren’t a vegan restaurant but have some amazing vegan options. I thoroughly recommend their Mazel Tov Beetroot salad which is marinated in sweet and piquant spices. Their cocktail menu is also worth exploring.

In terms of honey I prefer the Carpathians Raw Honey , the price reflects the quality of their service.
