Found this gem for lunch. I think the customers were primarily locals ....always a good sign. About a 8 minut walk from Hospital in the Rock. Menu is small and changes frequently. Had vegan and GF soup and a tofu/rice/broccoli bowl.

I ordered a set off their lunch menu. Food was ok taste-wise, but I was very disappointed with their portions. Not sure how it even made it onto a “lunch menu” - it’s more like a snack given that it’s only thin soup 🥲 had it at 12pm and by 3.30pm was hungry again On the plus side, the cafe had a nice ambience

Tasty sugar-free pasteries, kind staff and nice atmosphere! 🥧🍵 They also organise seasonal cooking workshops (in Hungarian), as well as events ☺️

The staff was lovely, the food was delicious and hearty, and the vibe was just right. Also the price was super budget friendly. Would def come back to try other dishes!

Delicious vegan food in a local area. We definitely felt like we were out of the tourist areas when we visited here. The menu was in Hungarian but the waitress was able to tell us which dishes were vegan. It seems they have 2-3 dishes of the day to choose from which are vegan or vegetarian. A great selection of cakes/pastries too which are vegan/vegetarian. Heart warming, healthy and simple food. I’d come again!
