There are multiple reasons why someone could opt for a meat-free diet. Religious matters, health issues or personal beliefs – these are just a few of the classic reasons why someone decides to become a vegetarian. Of course curiosity or an open-minded attitude can also be the driving force behind the choice. We wanted to know what kind of vegan places are there in the city and what alternatives does Budapest offer for a meat-free lifestyle.

Napfényes confectionery – Dolce vita for everyone
Sweets are kind of interesting from vegetarians’ point of view and they are kind of problematic as well. The traditional Hungarian cookies, cakes and sweets usually contain a lot of eggs and dairy products. However there is one confectionery in Óbuda on Kiskoronás Street that offers sweets that are made completely out of vegetarian ingredients. They offer ice-creams that fit into the strictest vegan regulations. Lactose-intolerant people, people with diabetes or food allergies can also consume these special treats. This is good news because this way people with special needs can enjoy the ice-cream dolce vita as well. Back to nature, back to naturalism – these are the main philosophies behind the confectionery and they seem to work very well. No gimmicks, no hanky-panky – we like this place!

Ganga Vega Café – Fast and healthy
Ganga Vega Café, situated on Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street right opposite to the Arany János Street metro station, is the little sister of Gangas restaurant that was opened on Hunyadi square three years ago. Once again, another place where quality is the most important. The seasonal ingredients are provided by farmers who have a long and successful history in agriculture and who are living close to Budapest. This way the freshness and the quality of the ingredients are guaranteed. The menus combine European and Eastern tastes so lovers of these cuisines can lie back happily in their seats after they had their meals. They operate with a fast-food restaurant system so it’s an ideal place for you if you don’t have a lot of time but you would like to have something healthy to eat – for a reasonable price.
Address: 1065 Budapest, Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street 25.
