Lots of options! - Edit
I had a great experience at Veggic! The food does not seem to be more expensive than the other local restaurants nearby. May not be as cheap as some local falafel but definitely worth the price. I’ll be going back there for lunch again tomorrow.

Delicious food, friendly service - Edit
Plovdiv is a beautiful historic town, yet not so big and up till recently there were not so many veg options. I was pleasantly surprised during my latest visit to find new vegetarian and vegan restaurants have opened and even more surprised on my visit to Veggic to see the place full on a workday afternoon. The food was much above what I had expected - so rich, tasty and beautifully presented. The Hommos was one of the best I have tasted, the Burrito was out of this world. Definitely going again on my next trip to Plovdiv.

Great vegan GF options, Ask about honey - Edit
We ate in, and liked it so much we had a take away another time (try food panda) great to find somewhere that caters for GF V in Plovdiv. A few dishes contain honey, so just need to ask. Recommend the spicy potatoes.

Great find in Plovdiv - Edit
What a treat to find this veggie cafe/restaurant in Plovdiv's old town. I ordered burrito and craft beer and both were excellent. Perfect after a long day's travelling.

Definitely have had better - Edit
Quite small restaurant with some indoor (also on 2nd floor) and outdoor tables.
Read moreWe were disappointed by the food. We chose two dishes from the cooked section and a salad. The first one turned out to be a small portion of rice with some raisins and cashews and the second one fried tempeh on a cold green salad. (In the menu there was also a seitan option, but obviously that one was not available during winter season.) Thus, we were lacking a cooked, fried or whatever warm vegetable component that would satisfy our need for vitamins (without the risk of feeling even colder as after the salad) and that would also fill our stomachs. There was no such vegetable choice even not as add to another dish (actually I think, we already got the dishes with the highest amount of vegetables from what I saw).
Furthermore, we perceived the food to be quite salty if not to say too much salted.
The atmosphere could have been nice, if not for the noise of the semi-open kitchen and the door that was left open by the waiter any time he went out (it was winter!). The staff could have been friendlier, too.
We gave two stars because firstly the dishes were decorated appealingly (so they gave it a try) and secondly because they were vegan, which is not common in this area of Europe.
Pros: Food was arranged appealingly
Cons: Lacks vegetable components in main dishes, "Cooked" dishes rather cold in nature (salads!), Too much salt

Tasty! - Edit
It’s easy to find on a little pedestrian street in Kapana, the creative/hipster neighbourhood of Plovdiv. Fairly small place with a few tables inside and a couple outside on the street.
Read moreWe had a bruschetta, tofu burrito, and the daily special, which was a kind of curried rice with coconut milk, veggies, apple and nuts.
Everything was really tasty and the prices were very fair for the portion size. Eg. the burrito and bruschetta were only 4 leva each and the daily special was 8. The rice dish came out cold though and definitely would’ve been even better hot, every time we order the “daily special” in Bulgaria it seems like they don’t bother heating it up haha.
Overall great lunch, would recommend :)
Pros: cool location, fast service, affordable

Comida excepcional, servicio malo. - Edit
Toda la comida es vegana excepto algunos platos que llevan miel. Todo lo que pedimos estaba exquisito. Una de las cocineras-camareras hablaba español y fue muy atenta y agradable con nosotros, sin embargo el encargado o jefe nos dio la contraseña del wifi de mala manera y a la hora de pagar nos puso mala cara y se quejó porque le habíamos dicho que íbamos a pagar con tarjeta pero como no nos funcionaba le dijimos que preferíamos pagar en efectivo, además al irnos no nos dijo ni adiós. Es una lástima pero no volveremos a este sitio por la atención recibida por parte de este señor.
Read morePros: Comida de 10
Cons: El chico que nos sirvió y cobró fue desagradable. , No es barato.

The new Veggic is great - Edit
I ate here recently for the first time since they shut down and moved to a new location, but can I just say how much better it is.
Read moreThe location is so much nicer, it's in the centre, and there is more outdoor seating now.
The menu has so many more interesting things than before, such as tempeh and seitan! They also do wraps and sandwiches which are soo good.
So far I've been three times now and tried different things every time. All of it has been delicious.
However, there is still honey on the menu, which is a shame. Make sure to check the contents of the desserts and drinks if you're vegan.
Pros: The food is really good
Cons: Not fully vegan

LOVE THIS PLACE! - Edit
Finally, a place in Bulgaria that can make proper vegan food. It really is a beautiful place, with creative dishes, huge menu, and also daily menus and special menus periodically. The hot chocolate was incredible, as was the hummus.
Read moreKeep in mind, though, they some of the dishes are made with honey, so for some that's a no-no. For me, I didn't mind, but just a warning!
Would highly recommend
Pros: quality of food, price

Fabulous vegan cafe - Edit
What a wonderful vegan meal. We chose the daily offerings and the food was fantastic, as were the fresh juices and especially the raw desserts. The lady there explained some of the desserts were not vegan as they have honey, I was very impressed with her understanding of this.
Read moreThey were accommodating when we took a baby in, there was a high chair but it was being used.
Lovely decor and atmosphere.
Overall 5* and great to see vegan in Bulgaria.
Pros: Choice, speed of service, quality of food

Nice restaurant - watch out for stealth honey - Edit
As pointed out by the previous reviewer, this restaurant serves honey so is not 100% vegan! Despite this, the staff will assure you everything is vegan (this happened to me elsewhere too, maybe the definition of veganism is slightly different in Bulgaria for some reason?) - just make extra clear when ordering that you don't eat honey and you should be fine. (I have also asked Happy Cow to change this listing from 'vegan' to 'vegetarian').
Read moreFood-wise, the menu is clearly aimed at more health conscious vegans than myself - the majority of the menu is raw. I opted for a cooked meal of quinoa and vegetables with basil which was ok at best - very watery, tasteless and it didn't fill me up. Because I was still hungry I had a chocolate tart for pudding (they had lots of puddings but this was the only one which didn't contain honey) which was very tasty and kind of made up for the disappointing main course.
The meal was also quite pricey- a main, dessert and smoothie was 20lv - the most expensive meal I ate in Bulgaria by far.
Overall it was fine - there aren't loads of vegan options in Plovdiv and the restaurant itself is quite nice - perhaps I just got unlucky with the main. Just be careful of the honey!
Pros: choclate tart, nice restaurant, they have vegan wines
Cons: restaurant staff assure you everything is vegan bu, not impressed with quinoa main, expensive
