Napfényes Restaurant and Confectionery

Amazing. Lot's of glutenfree options in a vegan restaurant. Delicious! Wonderful service. Thank you.

Varied and excellent vegan food. Pleasant service. Don't miss the goulash soup!!! The flagship dish of a very tasty varied plate We also tried the pad Thai, great There are many gluten-free options! We have been twice, the second time we brought a group of non-vegan friends with us and also enjoyed it very much We plan to return again in the days we have left in Budapest

I went here for lunch one day (August 2024 - belated review oops) to try out some of their plant based Hungarian cakes (francia kremes and dobos torte) and Szejtánbrassói/Seitan Brasov roast. As it was my birthday, I shamelessly mentioned it to the cashier, who gave me a discount for the cakes. What I didn't know was, to dine at this restaurant, is you order first and pay at the same counter. Should have done that. I loved the cakes - this is the place to have a good introduction into Hungarian desserts but plant based. Good amount of layers and texture for both cakes. Smooth and creamy fillings. The kremes was bottomed with a sheet of puff pastry, thick layer and amount of custard, cream, topped with glazed puff pastry. The sheets of puff pastry were quite delicate in contrast to the thick layer of custard. The glazed top did provide an extra support to its delicateness. When I bite into this cake, I was first introduced into the glazed sweet yet steady structure puff pastry before indulging into the rich and very smooth and creamy custard. While the dobos torte was a sponge cake layered with chocolate buttercream and topped with caramel. The slice was about 2.5-3 inches in width. I found this cake was layered evenly with even amount of thickness of the buttercream and spongecake. I found the sponge and buttercream tasted good, good amount of sweetness, decadent, smooth and soft to eat into. Now the Brasov roast.... The seitan was decent; it was soft and a slight chewiness. Taste-wise, I think Brasov roast is a dish I wouldn’t generally think of strongly eating again? I found the taste was just ok and “strong” at some points. Not sure how to describe it but the taste when some ingredients didn’t even out/balance well. Like too much broth or maybe the seitan just soak it in? The pickles did add as somewhat a palate cleanser. The menu has labels for dishes that have gluten, soya, mustard, nuts, sesame seeds, peanuts, spicy, for example. However for the menu I received (physical), there was no page on what the other icon entails. There is a daily offer for lunch times (11:30am-5pm), only available during the weekdays and changes weekly. Service was ok. It did take awhile for my food to come though even thought the restaurant was mid-busy.
