What Anonym dislikes about Level Up:
Mainly focusing on various types of burgers and pizza, as well as some veganized traditional Romainian dishes. Note that the inside seating is downstairs and much nicer, we didn't realize it until we were done Updated from previous review on 2022-07-19 View all feedback.

The best vegan food in Bucharest. The owners are so so lovely, the food is delicious, and the options to choose from are plentiful. The vegan cheese on the pizza needs a special shout out. Also such a good place to try traditional Romanian food. We really liked the Papnasi for desert. The price for all this delicious food is so cheap too! Our favourite in Bucharest by far. The photos do not do it justice! You must go!!!

I'm in love with this place. It looks unassuming, but the food is incredible. You can get both fast food and pasta here, as well as traditional Romanian dishes in a vegan version. You have to, absolutely have to try the papanași; I went back for it three times. One of the best things I've ever eaten.

I think the photo of our food will be enough to convince them! try this restaurant, if not for eating, then definitiw for the sweet lady who works there and cooked her beautiful eating from ground on. I had the honor to try my first sarmale in this place and the part was huge! it was so big that I had to miss out on the papanas (an other famous Romanesque court), but be assured that we will be back to devote more of this incredible menu.

All vegan restaurant serves mostly fast food. We had burger with beyond patty, 4 cheeses pizza and some veganized local dishes. Plus local beer (recommended and cheese (doesn’t taste like blue cheese but it’s tasty and not expensive so get it The food was tasty and the service was very friendly. The only imperfection was the restaurant itself: bottom floor smells like an old basement and seats outdoors are in front of the road and right under dripping AC. I really enjoyed the food and the waitresses were super helpful. Also there are only two fully vegan restaurants in Bucharest. So I absolutely recommend to support this place, eat here or maybe order delivery, and I wish it could move to a better location in the future.

It's been a great experience for me because I found most of the food I was craving for : vegan burgers, stuffed cabbage, pizza with 4 types of vegan cheese, it's been delicious. I went there many times and sometimes it's very crowded but mostly you find it empty , at least downstairs. The restaurant it's small and it has a very small kitchen , but the food that comes out from there, it's extraordinary.They also have cake slices and I tried Tiramisu and Rainbow Cake wich are my favourite. And Papanaș is a romanian dessert made from a donut with berries jam and cashew sour cream . Miam-miam .

Let's start with the positive, the place is 100% vegan ! and the food and drinks were great! Their own burger can easily compeate with any regular restaurant vegan burger I've had. The traditional sarmale was a bit bland in comparison, but not bad and I guess not having eaten the meat version that it tastes like the traditional one. One more note on the sarmale, the portion is huge, could easily feed 2 people! Nevertheless we also wanted desserts, the salted caramel cheesecake was good, but the papanas was EXCELLENT! Having seen the non-vegan versions around the countryside I just had to try it. It's like a tough think: proper sourdough bread fried doughnut with whipped cream and blueberry jam. Fried on order it was still warm when I got it

The best vegan food I've had in a while! If you wanna try some traditional Romanian dishes (Sarmale, Mici, Mamaliga) you have to go there! Also the pizza (self-made cheese, sauce and dough) and the dessert (Papanași and Baton) were incredibly delicious. I highly recommend for everyone who wants to have a great culinary experience!

Delicious vegan Romanian food. Since I stopped eating meat, mici was off the menu for me and I missed the experience of mici, mustard and bread. We also had sarmale, also very well done. If you 're vegan, a lot of traditional Romanian food will not be suitable for you, but this place does the main dishes really well Meal type: Lunch Price per person: lei 40–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We loved this place. Sat on the street whilst the trams go past. Great food. Great beer. Love the fact that EVERYTHING is done in that one tiny kitchen. Chef was brilliant and listened to everything we wanted and it got really busy and yes we waited a tiny while but the food was delicious and the atmosphere worth everything with like-minded vegan minded people chilling out outside. Going back tonight. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: lei 100–120 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian options: VEGAN!

It was really great as a vegetarian tourist to be able to experience some traditional Romanian dishes since an awful lot of the most famous ones seem to be meat-based. The food was really tasty, portions were hearty and the lady who served us was super helpful and friendly. The menu also has loads of other veggie and vegan options like burgers and stuff for people who are just looking for standard vegan food. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: lei 60–80 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
