SECOND HOME¿¿¿

The best! Homey staff, satiating food, affordable prices, cozy atmosphere.
I come here everytime I find myself in Bucharest.

Suitable for family dinners cuz they got lots of traditional meals like "sarmale, mici, papanași" but totally vegan!

So many options

I actually only ate here once but I would have loved to come back and try more things. They only take cash and I found it at the end of my time in Bucharest but it's a great little place.

Pros: Great burger, Reasonable prices

Cons: Only take cash

Best vegan place in Romania

If you go to Bucharest, you must go here!

The desserts are incredible. We got the salted caramel cheesecake, a snickers (omg), and the tiramisu (pretty sure it wasn't tiramisu as it is all chocolate colored, but it's still amazing).

The Nochicken strips were great. They reminded me of fast food Chinese chicken teriyaki without the sauce.

I got the cabbage roll dish with polenta which was also great, if not a little bland, but in a good way.

We also got the tofu scramble which was one of the best scrambles we have had (we went there a few times during our stay).

Pros: Amazing food, Even better dessert, Cute interior, Lots of options

Cons: Gluten free not labeled, Could use more gluten free options

These are the veterans, first vegan activists. Lovely atmosphere!

I definitely recommend this place. It is indeed not super healthy as it serves junk food, but burgers are good and the owner is lovely, trying to accommodate everyone. They often serve food for people in need for free, very ethical and not money oriented

Pros: Cozy environment , They let you do your own thing, you can even work, Lots of vegan foods, the Mars bar is amazing

Cons: Junk food only

Good vegan place

Ordered pasta with quadro vegmagy, which was very good with real cheesy taste and papansi - something between pancakes and donuts.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Nice personnel, A lot of options

Cons: Sitting outside is not good, but inside is great, Not much non raw desserts

Great all-vegan restaurant

Mainly focusing on various types of burgers and pizza, as well as some veganized traditional Romainian dishes. Note that the inside seating is downstairs and much nicer, we didn't realize it until we were done

A small place with nice service

Level Up focused more on fastfood, but they also have some (veganized) traditional dishes. The small place was next to a slightly busy road and could easily be overlooked, but the quality was surprisingly good and both the kitchen staff and servers were very friendly. If you like a casual experience with a buzzing, urban atmosphere it's a great place to visit.

Pros: Traditional Romanian food (veganized), High quality fastfood, Friendly staff!

Cons: Road is slightly busy

100% vegan guilty pleasure

All vegan restaurant serves mostly fast food.
We had burger with beyond patty, 4 cheeses pizza and some veganized local dishes. Plus local beer (recommended!) and cheese (doesn’t taste like blue cheese but it’s tasty and not expensive so get it!).
The food was tasty and the service was very friendly.
The only imperfection was the restaurant itself: bottom floor smells like an old basement and seats outdoors are in front of the road and right under dripping AC.
I really enjoyed the food and the waitresses were super helpful. Also there are only two fully vegan restaurants in Bucharest. So I absolutely recommend to support this place, eat here or maybe order delivery, and I wish it could move to a better location in the future.

Pros: 100% vegan, tasty food, friendly service , lots of options in the menu, local beer and vegan cheese

Cons: An old building

Delicious, tasty, incredible,amazing food

It's been a great experience for me because I found most of the food I was craving for : vegan burgers, stuffed cabbage, pizza with 4 types of vegan cheese, it's been delicious.
I went there many times and sometimes it's very crowded but mostly you find it empty , at least downstairs.
The restaurant it's small and it has a very small kitchen , but the food that comes out from there, it's extraordinary.They also have cake slices and I tried Tiramisu and Rainbow Cake wich are my favourite.
And Papanaș is a romanian dessert made from a donut with berries jam and cashew sour cream .
Miam-miam .

Pros: Many tipes of dishes, great taste, nice waitress

Not that great

The salad was already dried out and still served. The waitress was alone and overwhelmed with orders. Lots of waiting, traffic, worn out chairs and tables. Very surprised by the good reviews it has. Would not go again.

Pros: Burger

Cons: Dried out salad, Chaotic, Too close to the busy road

Good Chips!

Having just arrived in Bucharest my partner and I headed to the closest burger joint. The burgers were okay, the buns were very stale but the chips were great and the cocktails were fresh and fruity. Will go back to try to pizza

Pros: Lots of options , Friendly staff, Serves cocktails

Cons: Small , Downstairs area is quite dark

An OK place to eat

The food was good but not amazing. The menu consist of burguer and pizza mainly. I ordered a buguer with fries and it was ok. The place isn't much either. But the staff was very nice and it's one of the few vegan places in the city, which is appreciated.

Pros: One of the few purely vegan places in the city, The staff was super nice, The food was ok

Cons: The menu is very basic, The place wan't very clean nor cozy

Traditional food and good vibes

Our visit to level up was one of the highlights of our trip! The food was amazing and there is a very friendly vibe. The owner and staff are very friendly and they facilitate a great atmosphere. I find it rare to get veganised versions of local dishes when travelling, so this is a must visit!

Pros: Atmosphere, Food, Price

Cons: Nothing

It's okay

A good restaurant with a lot of options but I didn't really liked the place and I expect the food to be better, in conclusion it's a good option but not the best in my opinion

Amazing Vegan vibes and Food

The food is amazing. But the best thing was the hospitality. The lovely girl serving us was so kind and even bought my boyfriend and I a free slice of banana bread to try as it was new to the menu. We were the first customers to try and we honestly loved it so much

Pros: All vegan options , AMAZING Cakes , Best hospitality

Dear madelief,

We're happy You had a positive experience with us! Wow Pizza is one of the first recipes of Level Up, we're overjoyed You liked it! The so called Cajurella, the VegCheese we use in our Pizza is one of our staple ingredients and the most popular cheese option for a pizza at our place. Luckily enough, it has quickly become the cheese of choice even for our non-vegan Friends! We're almost sure that a good Vegan Cheese will convince many people that Veganism could be delicious and fulfilling. Vegan Cuisine has seen incredible growth in popularity, many people made the transition just because it is easy, convenient and delicious. Motivations such as helping the Animals and the Planet came a bit latter sometimes, nevertheless, once the process has begun deeper motivations take over most of the time. Anyway, thank You for helping us spread the word! ❤️

Cheers!
