Before you choose a table

1Check menus before going, especially if you are strictly vegan rather than vegetarian.
2Romanian traditional restaurants can be meat-heavy, so do not assume every soup or side is vegetarian.
3For brunch spots, book ahead on weekends or arrive before the main lunch rush.
4Ask clearly about dairy, eggs and honey if you follow a vegan diet.

Where are they?

Most useful vegetarian-friendly stops are central, so they pair well with a walking route through the Old Town, Cismigiu, Universitate or the quieter streets east of the center.

AUnirii and Old Town edge: Level Up, Sublimmme and Vyro are practical before or after a central walk.
BVictoriei, Dorobanti and Floreasca side: Sara Green and Rawdia are useful for healthy daytime meals.
CBrunch and mixed groups: Simbio works well when not everyone wants a fully vegan restaurant.
