Govinda – The vegetarian Mecca

As all of the vegetarians can tell you it is not so easy to find a good vegetarian restaurant in Budapest at a moderate price. Govinda gives you this chance in the heart of the city.

You can choose from different menus everyday or you can just try separate dishes. All of them are moderately priced. For the people who are not only interested in food for their body but interested in food for their soul there are several different kind of programmes organised by the staff who are members of the IKSCON which is easy to identify from the saris and the dhotis they are wearing.

This religious movement was really popular especially in the ’90s in Hungary, but now if you ask anybody about them for sure they will mention their “Food for life program” which gives food for free every week on various spots of the city and they will also mention Govinda because thanks to its central location it is a “place to go” for students are managers of the nearby offices around 12:00.

Be aware that when you are entering the restaurant you have to go down on the stairs and you can easily hit your head, especially if you are really hungry and want to go down as fast as possible.
