So whether you're vegan, vegetarian or just want to lighten up your diet, we've put together a list of the restaurants and bistros with the best vegetarian and vegan food in Bratislava.
Foodstock
Address: Klobučnícka 485/6, Bratislava
GPS: 48.14467, 17.11104
https://www.foodstock.sk/
In the beginning this modern vegan/vegetarian bistro was just a foodtruck offering vegetarian and vegan food in Bratislava at various festivals and markets. Incidentally, the name of the bistro is a play on words derived from the legendary Woodstock festival. Their food was very popular - and so the Foodstock Bistro was born. It focuses on Asian-inspired dishes, specifically Japanese cuisine. We recommend the gyoza dumplings with teriyaki sauce.

And not only your appetite, because everything - from soups and salads to main dishes and dessert looks great here. The meals are simple but nutritionally well-balanced and filling without making you feel heavy. We also recommend trying a homemade kombucha.

Vegan Kiosk Bratislava
Address: Grösslingová 11, Bratislava
GPS: 48.14389, 17.11454
https://vegankiosk.sk/
The story of Vegan Kiosk is similar to Foodstock. It started as a small stall in front of a shopping centre, which became very popular among the locals. Today it's a cosy bistro in Bratislava where you can pop in for amazing vegan food - a lunch menu or weekend brunch, burgers, soups, Asian specialities and coffee with dessert. The portions are large, the meals reliably filling, yet you won't feel heavy afterwards. We recommend a visit just because it is the first ever vegan street food not only in Bratislava, but also in Slovakia.

A small cosy vegan bistro located in the basement of the Street Food Cafe. But if you find your way here, you won't regret it. Pleasant atmosphere, service and delicious vegan food at nice prices. You can even have the famous Slovak halušky here - in a vegan version, of course.

Soupculture
Address: Michalská 11, Bratislava
GPS: 48.14484, 17.10665
https://www.facebook.com/soupcultureBA/
This place is perfect for lovers of creamy soups, which are served in an original way - in an edible cup. Simply put - you drink the soup, which they do really well here, eat the cup - and no waste. The soup menu changes every day, and you can also choose which cup you're served in - whole wheat, spirulina, turmeric or gluten-free. That they are all, like the soups, vegan, probably goes without saying.
