Tökmag Vegan Street Food has a very cozy, modern design, including the menu. Burgers are the star of the show, but there are other tasty options. Weekend brunch is highly recommended.

Great brunch on weekends. I had the vegan “rantotta” fried paste of chickpeas and onion (instead of eggs) with salad side, delicious. My friends’ oats pancakes and sweet bread were excellent too. Cozy ambiance. (Google)
