Nice place for glutenfree and vegan lunch

Friendly staff, nice ambiance, great food. And most important to me, they have glutenfree options. The staff was very helpful in explaining the ingredients in English.

Pros: budget, vegan, glutenfree options

Good food to eat in and to go

Had a fine lunch there. Very nice ambiance, especially upstairs.

Some of us had a selection of items. One way is to pick a bowl size and fill it with salads, fried vega-meat, etc., Some of us had burgers. All had deserts. All the food was good. Especially liked the deserts.

Really good option to get a selection to go for a picnic or for the next airplane or train ride.

And reasonably priced.

Pros: Nice ambiance, Good selection, Great for to go options

Buffet style restaurant

We came to Vega City at lunch time and it was incredibly busy. It was also very hot inside. The buffet is quite complicated, but the food was very good. All in all, Vega City is a nice place for a short stay.

Pros: good food, fair price

Cons: very busy, too hot

Great cakes for cheap!

Unfortunately I only had time to grab a slice of vegan cake here, but I was very satisfied with it! The place is right in the centre and easy to find. It has lots of space and changing menu. The cakes all looked so appealing, and there were even raw ones and ones without sugar. Really cheap price and tasty too! Suggested!

Pros: Cheap, Delicious

Cons: (None)

Lots of choice! Good food.

Loads of vegan options and really easy to find...the food was cheap and a
Good filler at lunch time. The staff couldn't really tell me with how the ordering process works...it works on weight!! If I had known this I would have ordered more!!! and tried some of the different options.

Pros: Cheap , Lots of options

Excellent, inexpensive food

I dropped by this place just before returning home.. In addition to checking out and acquiring a few more local specialities, I also took the opportunity to fill up a whole box with vegan food for my trip. I took a little bit of everything, and it was all equally good and tasty.
The only downside was the lack of ice cream (especially given the fact that we had 38 degrees), and that I had to wait due to a couple of previous customers who wouldn't make up their minds, they kept asking questions instead of actually ordering.

Good everyday vegan food

They have quite a lot of choice but since we were really hungry, we both took daily menu but it's nice that even there you can choose between a couple of options. The meal was simple and good. Almost all the drinks were "super drinks" but we got tap water upon request, which was really nice. Really inexpensive, could eat here everyday. Tried a bounty cake too which was ok but not mindblowing.

Pros: Lots of options, Good English and patience to explain, Inexpensive

Cons: No airconditioning or didn't work

Unmatched prices

Note : self service
Not much translated and very difficult to understand the offers, but the staff is lovely, and the food really good and fresh.

4.5 stars. A must go.

My new favorite restaurant

Amazing food! Lots of variety, creative flavours and several options of meat and cheese substitutes. The location is also very convenient for tourists. A "must-eat" in Budapest.

Simple, Interesting, Vegan

I went here with my gf twice. First experience gets a 3 cow rating, second gets a 5 cow so it can vary. It is a very popular place not far from the river. The crowds and signs everywhere can get intimidating but speak to the staff, they're all nice enough and speak English.
Food was okay first time and great the second, they have a large array of choices including great smoothies and desserts.

Pros: Ideal for a quick bite, Great variety , Affordable

Cons: Confusing system, Too many signs

A good all rounder!

I loved Vega City! They had a large selection of smoothies, that you could have in a range of sizes. They also had pre-made cold burgers, where there was a selection of 4 different kinds, all sounding interesting but great. Then they had the buffet style bit where you could pick from a variety of things to have on your plate, or you could order something from the menu of the day. Lastly they had a section of desserts too! I think all their food was available to take away as well! I had a banana, date and rice milk smoothie, which was nice :) Also I had one of their cold burgers, which was amazing, and definitely didn't feel bad eating it cold. The food was really good value for money. I can understand why people would feel rushed here, as it gets very busy. We went just before the lunch rush, so we got a table, but come lunch time the queue was out of the door!

Pros: Great value for money

Cons: Not their fault but it gets super busy!

Okay

Food is cheap and tastes okay. Most of the people were friendly, but one girl was not and threw my change at me while i was very friendly and holding out my hand for the change. I was very surprised at this because I went before and it was not like that...

Pros: Cheap, some interesting food

Cons: very busy, not special, some unfriendly people

Disappointing

We visited Vegacity on a recent trip to Budapest and found it a little confusing – there are lots of different signs with dishes and information on but it is not immediately clear which of it you can order and we found a number of things that were on the boards were not actually available. Given the layout of the place (with a canteen style front that you move along while selecting your food with people with their trays behind you) it’s very easy to feel rushed while you are choosing, particularly as there were about 5 members of staff all staring at us as we walked down the line without doing much to try and help out.

There were burgers in the cabinet which we ordered, but we didn’t realize that these were intended to be served cold – they did offer to microwave them but we opted to have them cold anyway, but did not really enjoy them.

Our lack of Hungarian probably didn’t help, but I’m not sure what kind of place Vegacity is trying to market itself as and whatever it is it could do a better job of it.

Great variety and service

I'm happy with the variety of options at vega city. The price is also Very very good. They had everything from raw vegan to (I'd expect) ovo-lacto vegetarian. Service was good, the vegan pizza I had was a bit toooo dry for my taste, so much so I couldn't cut it with a fork and knife but had to chew on it... and in my salad was a HUGE rock that almost knocked off my tooth (can happen at any restaurant, but I'd suggest they take extra extra care to clean their salads) still service was friendly and forward, plenty of places to sit,and I think their food is good but merits some improvement. It was tasty anyway. I still recommend it, BUT needs some improvments

Pros: Seating, Price, variety

Cons: Rock in salad, Raw vegan pizza tooo dry

Schlechter Kuchen

Mein Mann und ich waren zum Kuchen essen dort. Beide Kuchen sowie die Kekse, die es zum Kaffee gab, schmeckten uns nicht. Bedingt durch die Lage hörte man im Restaurant deutlich den Straßenlärm.
Wir würden dort nicht noch einmal hingehen, es gibt bessere Adressen in Budapest.

Cons: Straßenlärm, Kuchen schmeckte nicht

Amazing!

My partner and I are so happy we found this place! Incredible food, so cheap. About 2 euro for a bowl of their daily curry, and about 3 euro for a burger. The place always has lots of people which is a great sign. Their quality food, great prices are encouraging people to try new foods and hopefully changing lots of mind frames!

Pros: Amazing food, Cheap , Friendly staff

Good selection and value for money

This place seemed to be very popular with tourists and locals alike. It has a wide selection of dishes and we were pretty stuffed! The food is fine for a basic lunch option when you are a travelling vegan but nothing out of the ordinary. The area is nice as you have several good coffee places in the vicinity too.

Pros: Good prices

Cons: Pretty ordinary taste - nothing extraordinary

amazing!

I'm a travelling vegan and found this place on here. It's a super quirky alternative place with daily changing menus. The staff speak English and proudly tell you 'everything is vegan' - I had a daily meal for 1100 and it was a curious mix of Hungarian foods. I just trusted them to pick for me. As a dessert I had vegan cocoa filled pancakes - to die for!

Pros: friendly staff, quirky atmosphere, value for money

Recommend

The food was quite good, it had different menus every day so it was very interesting. The portsions were normal, maybe food was a little bland, but not complayning. Acctually it was a bit pricey compared to other food places in Budapest, but still cheap.
You gotta try their burger, it was sooooo good

Pros: Tasty, Interesting

Cons: Small portions, Bit pricey compared to other

Not good...

This was the first restaurant I visited in Budapest, and it was a real disappointment. Service could have been much friendlier, and the food on offer at the counter did not really look interesting or appealing. I chose the lasagna and unfortunately, it was one of the worst vegan meals I have ever had. It tasted really bland and I couldn't finish it.
To give the restaurant another chance and because I was still hungry, I got a piece of chocolate cake. It tasted better, but it still wasn't really good as it was too watery.

The plus about this restaurant is its great location close to Kalvin tér and opposite of the National Museum. Moreover, it is really, really cheap.

I might have tried it again for another piece of cake, but unfortunately they are not open on the weekend.

Pros: Great location , Cheap prices

Cons: Bland food

A nice variety of comfort and health foods

You can have both healthier (salads, mains, fresh juices) and comfort (burgers, fried veggies) foods.
The only reason I don't go more often is their opening times.
