Vegetarian Budapest

Posted By: Renegade Travels | Posted in: Budapest, Hungary, Vegetarian Food

Budapest isn’t the best place for vegetarians, but we managed to find two great veggie places pretty close to our apartment. Both were buffet-style places, with one being Asian and the other being a mixture of Western and Hungarian food.

Vega City

Vega City is an awesome cafe that has a vegan buffet every day. There is usually a choice of 10-15 dishes that are either priced individually or by weight. Just choose what you want and they add it all up at the till.

This place is so popular that the queue went all the way outside the shop the first lunchtime that we were there. There is plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs though, so don’t let the queues put you off. It’s worth the wait.

Vega City is easy to find, as it’s opposite the Hungarian National Museum. As well as the awesome buffet, they also sell juices, smoothies, salads, cakes, sandwiches and other dishes.

The two buffet lunches we had came to a total of 2,700 HUF ($9.50), so prices are pretty reasonable. Most people eating there seemed to be locals, which is usually a good sign.

Hotels In Budapest

One thing we liked about Budapest is that there are lots of apartments available for rent. We stayed in a fantastic 3-bed apartment in central Budapest that cost us just $40 a night. This is one of the best places we’ve stayed at in Europe and also the cheapest. We booked this via Agoda, who have lots of other apartments and hotels to choose from.
