To celebrate Vegetarian Awareness Month, the Hard Rock Cafe Budapest added some mouthwatering meatless options to its menu for October. The legendary restaurant chain introduced more than 25 new vegetarian dishes at a number of locations worldwide on October 1st – World Vegetarian Day – and Budapest’s own branch also adopted a portion of the international selection, including three juices, two burgers, two wraps, and two salads. These special meatless dishes will be available through the end of the month, but customer favorites could possibly be transferred to the permanent menu.

Known far and wide for being a legendary locale for huge burgers and a major shrine for rock-and-roll artifacts, Hard Rock has introduced some of its new vegan and vegetarian delicacies at its Budapest branch as well. The veggie dishes will stay on the menu all throughout October – aka Vegetarian Awareness Month – onserved every year to highlight the benefits of abstinence from meat. Until the end of October, the multi-story Hard Rock restaurant at the corner of Vörösmarty Square will offer such creations as a quinoa burger, a spicy tofu-and-black-bean wrap, and a roasted-vegetable salad.

“As more and more people around the world opt for a plant-based diet, the demand for versatile vegetarian options at restaurants is on the rise as well,” said Antonio Bautista, the senior vice president of franchise operations and development. “Hard Rock Cafe has taken inspiration from global and regional cuisines to produce savory creations for vegetarians and meat lovers alike.”
