The 8 Best Vegetarian Restaurants In Bratislava

Bratislava, the capital city of a country whose traditional cuisine is very focused on meat, is not famous for being a vegetarian friendly metropolis. However, it’s reputation is changing. Over the past few years, several new hotspots have opened up serving fresh, locally sourced, seasonal, meat free cuisine; offering beautifully crafted dishes that can be enjoyed by carnivores as well. If you are looking for the best restaurants which cater to vegetarians and vegans in Bratislava, here are our recommendations.

A popular pick for young working professionals, the restaurant offers freshly prepared veggie curries with rice or noodles for eating in the restaurant or to take away.

You’ll need to take the tram about 10 minutes from the city center to reach this restaurant which serves exclusively raw food. Alternatively, you can order delivery from Bemba using Food Taxi or Ham food delivery services. Just because the food is raw does not mean it is boring or bland. Try the raw pizza with gold flaxseeds, peanuts, cashews, dried tomatoes, avocados, and marinated mushrooms.

Although not exclusively vegetarian or vegan, Urban House caters to both types of dietary restrictions with clearly marked options on the menu.

But Urban House also offers fabulous breakfast options such as poached egg on avocado toast and homemade granola with Greek yogurt and house made jam.
