Pizza ist leider süß.

Schon zum zweiten Mal Pizza bestellt. Sie war auch diesmal sehr süß. Ich frage mich voran es liegt. Ich bestelle es nicht nochmals.

itt tényleg sütt a napfény!

the restaurant is called sunlight in hungarian, and it really is a ray of sunshine. so good that we went twice on our trip! it's a small little hide-y hole that is behind the main square, but it lights up that shady spot!
really delicious food, and such a selection! great service as well.
the first time we got the platter for two, so my husband and i could share many classic hungarian items together! we also got a pad thai which was delicious!
the second time, i had a sour cherry soup (popular hungarian dish, hard to find vegan!) and a gyro plate.
we got some delicious icecream and an isler on the way out!

Great hungarian food

We shared the platter and we really liked it, they also have hungarian soups which were very reasonable priced. We were full after that but we had to have one of their dessert as they looked amazing. Very good price for all we had.

Nice restaurant with good food

The food was good, but not very well spiced. They could also use more herbs. This seems to be a general thing in (vegan) restaurants in Hungary or we have just been unlucky so far. I had the goulash, which was nice and my partner had fried zucchini with polenta, which was also ok.
For such a high rated vegan restaurant I would expect much less soy as a substitute, it is used in most of the dishes as well as gluten (I guess most is wheat flour). From a health perspective both are not really recommendable. But in the menu it is clearly marked, which I really liked.
They also offer lots of cakes and ice cream, I had vanilla and pistachio, both were indeed too sweet for my taste.
The staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait for a long time (which could also be a bad sign in terms of food quality...)
I guess I would definitely give it another try during a next visit in Budapest

Pros: allergens and substitutes are clearly marked, great variety of desserts, nice outside seating, but only 4 tables

Cons: spices and herbs were missing, two much soy and wheat flour in the menu, not many vegetables on the menu

Lovely place and good food

We tried a falafel platter and some cabbage roulade. Both very good and lots of cakes and ice cream to choose from for desert. Sometimes a long wait as it’s very busy and there’s few staff but otherwise the service is great. I would love to see a larger selection of Hungarian dishes on the menu.

Pros: Fair price , Some traditional dishes , Lovely staff

Cons: Not enough outdoor seating :)

Nice options

One of the few places to find some classic hungarian dishes veganized. We had the platter for 2, which was alright, but we were a little disappointed because the food wasn’t that warm and didn’t really feel fresh. I had also had better vegan gyros before, the other meat alternatives weren’t exceptional as well. The fried cheese was really good though. Maybe we just didn’t choose the right dish, because this didn’t really live up to our expectations. We might come again and try something different.
Update: bean ghoulash is really good

Pros: Traditional hungarian dishes, Affordable

Cons: Wouldn’t recommend the platter for 2

All vegan Hungarian food

I had the goulash soup and the saitan stew à la Brasov. Both were very delicious! I definitely recommend coming here for a vegan Hungarian experience! :-)

Great pizza and amazing desserts!

The pizza was delicious (although the flavor could be improved).
The desserts all looked amazing! I had the classic cheesecake and it was divine. The place also looks nice and has tables outside.

Pros: Desserts, Food, Space

Great to try traditional Hungarian flavors

Napfényes was one of the first vegan restaurants in Hungary, and it’s a great place to try some local and traditional flavours in cruelty-free version. It is also one of the V-Label certified vegan restaurants. There’s a daily offer on weekdays, but the á la carte menu also has great soups, salads, mains, pizzas, and desserts. My favourite is the vegetable soup with semolina dumplings and plant based cheese fried in breadcrumbs with rizibizi (rice with peas). Try the sweet cottage cheese dumplings as well! The interior has more of a classic restaurant feeling. Staff is really nice.

Fantastic experience here. The lady was so kind to explain everything to me (in English also). The food was so good, and the poppy seed / jam dessert was 😍

Delicious Stuffed Cabbage

We had two delicious drinks - strawberry lemonade cocktail (non-alcoholic) and a ginger lemonade. My husband had the falafel platter and I had the stuffed cabbage. It was really good to have something Hungarian. The sausage and fake steak were the best I’ve had. My husband had a cake for pudding which he said was absolutely delicious. Very good overall.

Good restaurant!

A really good restaurant with a nice atmosphere and friendly service.
There are many options on the menu which made it hard for us to choose but we finally ordered the Seitan Roast à la Brasov and the Gyros which we really liked.
Would absolutely recommend eating here!

Fave place in Budapest

The food here is really good. We ate in the restaurant twice and also had food delivered one evening. It’s great to be able to eat vegan versions of traditional foods.
Everything we ate was incredibly delicious especially the roast a la Brasov, the stuffed cabbage and the goulash. The desserts are also great. Really couldn’t fault it at all.

OMG

The pizzas & falafel are pretty good, but OMG the grilled zucchini with quinoa was out of this world. I don’t know what sauce this dish is bathed in, but it is incredible. Seriously, one of my favorite vegan dishes. So rich, so unexpected. Would eat it again tomorrow. And I probably will…
