A must visit place - Edit
I only had a chance to pop in for a take-away dinner, and whilst waiting to have a beer - but I have to say Szabad - Új hely has the perfect feel of the Budapest pubs with fantastic food, drinks, and welcoming vibes.
Read moreI have heard before of their Beetroot burger which we ordered, and the Hungarian Not Meaty Pancakes - both were beyond greatness.
Next time I will be around, I will come again for sure.
A must visit if you are in Budapest!
Sorry for the photos, the dishes not mirroring their accurate presentation- as we ordered them for take-away only.
Pros: Fantastic food, Genuine Budapest pub vibes, Perfect location

Traditional Food - Edit
The best thing about traveling abroad is to find vegan versions of traditional dishes and those ones were amazing. The place has a great vibe, its cozy and the service is spectacular. Honorable Mention to this desert that was the best thing I've ever eaten

This place is a vegan paradise! 🌿 - Edit
The place itself has a nice vibe, with some oitdoor seating, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. We tried the daily menu (available on every weekday, consists of a soup and a main dish for 2990,-) which was a french onion soup and penne with a tomato-mushroom sauce - both of them were delicious and they gave rather big portions. And i also had to try the not Fish & chips, made out of jackfruit, and it was just perfect, i would definitely recommend that to try once!

Fantastic breakfast!! - Edit
Everything on the breakfast menu looked amazing! I couldnt decide and ended up getting 4 different things. The cashew camembert in particular was incredible and it will haunt my dreams for years to come. Waffles were amazing too.

Highest recommendation - Edit
High quality, traditional Hungarian homestyle food. Lots of rich flavors. I’m not the biggest fan of the burgers, but pretty much everything else on the menu has my highest recommendation.

Es gibt zwei Lokale - Edit
Wir kamen in das Bistro und dachten wir bekommen eine umfangreiche Auswahl an ungarischen Essen. Jedoch gab es auf der Bistrokarte nur die Gulaschsuppe und ein Hauptmenü. Uns wurde erklärt, dass es ein weiteres Lokal, ca 1. Stunde entfernt gibt. Dort hätten wir mehr Auswahl. Die Bilder seien hier in der App vermischt und zeigt Essen aus beiden Lokalen. Ich aß die Gulaschsuppe, die wirklich sehr gelungen ist.

Brilliant! Feels like a locals haunt! - Edit
Very popular with locals, it English menu available. 100% vegan.
Read moreThe jackfruit burger was incredible! Also had the Lecso with tofu. Really hearty, traditional stew, with homemade bread. Definitely recommend! The place was really clean, but had a trendy punk feel, with punk music playing.
2 lovely dogs off lead in the restaurant who are so sweet and wander around greeting the guests.
Pros: 100% vegan, Great food , Super atmosphere

Yes! Stop reading, just go. - Edit
This is a gem in Budapest.
Read moreWe tried 2 of their locations, and they're both awesome.
This one has a larger dining room while keeping an alternative aesthetic I really appreciate.
The beer selection is very nice. The draft Primator is a Czech beer, and the wheat one is just awesome. They had a grapefruit flavored wheat beer as well, and it was delicious.
We tried a fish and chip along with a zucchini burger and fries. Everything delivered.
Not the cheapest without being expensive.
Highly recommended 👌
