Vegan restaurants in Budapest

I’ve been to Budapest twice in my life now. I have to be honest, I went to Budapest for the Sziget festival. When I’m at the festival, I don’t see anything from Budapest itself. However, both times we made sure to go a few extra days, so that we could also visit Budapest itself. In those days we have visited two vegan restaurants in Budapest that I love, and one which was not vegan at all, but the vegan food was just very good. Today I want to tell you more about these restaurants.

Note: this list is never finished. If I may visit Budapest again, I will add (or delete) vegan restaurants to the list.

Byblos

This is Lebanese restaurant, and my, do I love Lebanese food! The menu is amazing. There are many vegan options and the allergens are very clearly indicated on the menu. We ordered only mezzeh, the small dishes, and I always love that. This way you can share the food. We had amazing tabouleh, hummus, falafel, stuffed vine leaves and more! They serve homemade lemonades, which is great, because I rather only support them than Coca Cola or such. The staff was very friendly and I thought the prices were okay too. You get a lot for what you pay. This is a must-visit if you’d ask me!
Address: 1052 Budapest Semmelweis utca 1-3
Accessibility: this restaurant is not accessible to people using a wheelchair, they have high steps right at the entrance. The menu is not standard in braille, maybe when you ask up front.

Las Vegans

This is not a place I’d recommend for dinner, but more for lunch or a snack. They have amazing food. However, the place is not so cosy. It’s a bit like a canteen. Okay for a snack when you’re hungry, but not to visit for dinner. I had some vegan nachos, my partner had a vegan Mexican salad box and a friend had a vegan jackfruit burger. We all enjoyed the food very much. This place, as you can probably tell by the name, is 100% plant-based. They have all sorts of things on the menu, from burgers to bowls to sides. Always nice to be able to support a vegan restaurant!
Address: They have multiple addresses, including food trucks. I visited 1073 Budapest, 11 Kazinczy Street.
Accessibility: I don’t recall, the menu is not offered in braille.

Szabad Bistro

This bistro is very small and cute, it has the vibes of a ruin bar and I loved that. It’s 100% plant-based and I thought the menu was great. They have a lot of small bites so it’s amazing to share with others. They serve homemade drinks so that’s always a plus for me. I had some loaded fries, onion rings and a coleslaw salad for dinner. All very tasty and the prices were very good too, in total I paid 12,50 euros for a meal and drinks. They also offer traditional Hungarian food, entirely plant-based. That’s amazing if you want to taste a little bit of the local culture.
Address: Király utca 101, Budapest, Hungary
Accessibility: there’s a huge step at the front door, so this place is not accessible to people using a wheelchair. The menu is not standard in braille.
