Incredible selection, incredible taste

The best vegan food in Bucharest. The owners are so so lovely, the food is delicious, and the options to choose from are plentiful.
The vegan cheese on the pizza needs a special shout out.

Also such a good place to try traditional Romanian food. We really liked the Papnasi for desert.

The price for all this delicious food is so cheap too! Our favourite in Bucharest by far. The photos do not do it justice! You must go!!!

Pros: Absolutely delicious , Lovely staff, Incredible variety

Must-visit vegan restaurant in Bucharest offering Romanian classics

Level Up is one of the rare fully vegan restaurants offering Romanian classics, and it did not disappoint. I tried the VegFriptura Spare the Lamb, which was absolutely delicious. The seitan steak was exceptionally good, not dry or spongy at all. For dessert, I had the veganized version of the classic papanasi, which was also very tasty.

The staff at Level Up is incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the prices are very reasonable. This is a must-visit restaurant in Bucharest for anyone looking for fantastic vegan food. Highly recommended!

Pros: excellent vegan food, veganized Romanian classics, friendly staff, affordable

Absolutely phenomenal food

If I could give 7 stars here, I would. Initially when I got to the restaurant, everything looked ordinary, but nothing is ordinary about the food. The beyond meat burger was well prepared and tasted absolutely phenomenal! I nearly fell off the chair when I had my first bite! 🤩 I also ordered sarmale (traditional Romanian cabbage rolls) for take out! You will have to try it yourself. I am going back the next few days!

Had to go back again!

During our 3 day stay in Bucharest, we really enjoyed the food at Level up twice! The food, atmosphere, and service was great! I had the traditional stuffed cabbage with polenta and cashew cream and this dish was excellent and huge! I loved it so much I ate it both times! We were a group of 4 so we enjoyed the WOW pizza (too big for just one person), burgers, nuggets, traditional meititei, crispy fresh FF, papanasi traditional donuts with loads of cream and blueberry sauce. We loved the downstairs room and really chilled after a long day of touring. The servers were helpful and so happy to have us there.

Pros: Clean bathroom and restaurant, Good prices and good food, Good attentive service

I'm going to be thinking about that stuffed cabbage for a long time

Honestly incredible food; I wish we had gone back the next day of our trip. I had the stuffed cabbage and some sort of traditional sausage (I couldn't decide so ate two mains, no regrets) and my boyfriend had a pizza and then we had snickers and bounty bars for dessert. It was absolutely wonderful, staff were great. I had a glass of wine and he had a beer and it came to about the equivalent of £20 which coming from London absolutely floored me haha

very good food

I had a very nice time visiting Bucharest, the food was great . I had Mici and Sarmale , and my friends had Beyond burger, Level Up burger and vegan pasta and we shared all, we also had desserts like Tiramisu and Pasca which were really tasty. The place is really warm and cozy, and the staff is nice . We will visit again when go back to Bucharest.

Pros: very good food, cozy and warm inside, nice staff

Vegan versions of Romanian classics

Typical Romanian food isn't particularly vegan friendly, so it was great to find a place offering vegan versions of some of the nation's classic dishes. We tried the sarmale (stuffed cabbage leaves served with polenta & sour cream) and the mici (spicy garlic sausages). Both were very tasty and quite filling, especially as we added a portion of fries to go with the mici. You can also get burgers, pizza and other western food but it would be a shame not to try something local. Everything is freshly made to order, so service can be a little slow but it's worth the wait. Prices are very reasonable - we spent around 90 Lei between two of us, including a shared 500ml bottle of local beer.

Pros: Vegan versions of local dishes, Tasty food, Reasonable prices

Cons: Slow service

Excelente! Adorei!

Experimentei 1 prato principal de Sarmale ultra romanesti gostei bastante sabores muito diferentes do que estou habituada gostei. Prato e porção grande. Para sobremesa pedi a Papanasi e estava muito boa também. O atendimento foi excelente adorei a menina que aqui trabalha. O espaço também e super acolhedor. Obviamente voltarei!

Pros: Comida boa , Staff simpatico , Preços não muito caros
