Delicious Vegan Food in Budapest

Budapest has some fabulous vegan food.  One of my favorite things I ate the whole time I was in Budapest was this 3 layered thing above from Vega City..

Budapest has many vegan restaurants and these vegan restaurants rarely disappoint.  Most are cafeteria style.  This makes the restaurants a quick and nice break from sight-seeing.

Food in Budapest tends to be either international or a fusion of Hungarian and International.  You can see that in the dish above.  Paprika is a frequent and common ingredient that the Hungary specializes in and the quality of it in Hungary is amazing. 

While Budapest has many vegan restaurants and vegetarian restaurants with vegan options, Hungarian food can be tricky because a lot of traditional Hungarian food contains animal products.  Lard is used more frequently than it is used in other European countries, the United States, Canada, etc. 

It is also worth noting, restaurants in Budapest, particularly those outside of touristy areas often do not have frequent hours as those from the United States might be used to.   Always check the hours before going to a restaurant in Hungary.
