Aura Gastrocafe - Budapest

I recently visited this restaurant and my experience was mixed. I enjoyed the grilled veggie sandwich, but I found it to be a bit pricey and the menu options were limited. They initially advertised that everything was vegan, but I later discovered that they offered cow’s milk at the café, despite claiming to be lactose-free. This review is an update from my previous one on September 21, 2020.

The staff is always friendly, everything is vegan, delicious, and offered at a reasonable price!

I visited this restaurant a few months ago, and as a gluten-free vegan, I found my options on the menu to be very limited. I also ordered a coffee with alternative milk, but when I took a sip, I realized they had used cow's milk instead! This is supposed to be a vegan establishment, and as someone who is lactose intolerant, that was really unacceptable. When I brought it up with the staff, I received no apology at all.

We went for brunch with two VG friends to try this café on the week it opened. It is absolutely great! The location, the interior design, the range of food to choose from and the friendly staff are all good reasons to return. I had a faux gras croissant, a tapioca pudding, an oatmylk latte and a chili sin carne wrap (for take away), and all tasted amazing. I also tried my friend's poppy seed cake, which was yummy too. Way to go, Aura!

All vegan delicacy that serves sandwiches, salads, quiches, pies and other small foods. The space is nicely decorated, with a good terrace outside in a very nice neighborhood, surrounded by many other vegan places. Our food was tasty and nicely prepared. I was not fond of the Greek salad being served in a plastic take away book but it was very nicely done and tasted great. Would recommend the sandwich! Will be back to try more things from the menu.
