Culinair genieten! - Edit
In de Levensboom is het altijd genieten van de lekkerste plantaardige gerechten. Alles is er vers en zelfgemaakt met seizoensgebonden groenten. Unieke en originele smaakcombinaties zorgen ervoor dat je nooit teleurgesteld wordt. De service is zeer vlot en het personeel is ook zeer vriendelijk. Een aanrader voor iedereen!

Heerlijk 3 gangen menu! - Edit
Gezellig gegeten bij dit volledig veganistische restaurant met biologische en lokale groentes. Wat fijn dat alles vegan is en je dus niet hoeft na te denken wat erin zit! 3 gangenmenu was qua grootte voldoende als volwaardig menu.
Read moreDe gerechten waren lekker en er werd goed uitgelegd was alles was. Ook mijn niet-vegan vriendin vond het heel lekker!

Pros: Lekkere amuse-plaat als voorgerecht, alles vegan, genoeg variatie in smaken
Cons: redelijk prijzig, geen keuze in menu (alleen 3 of 4 gangen)

Long Live De Levensboom - Edit
De Levensboom (Tree of Life), with Hans van der Fraenen as chef, is the best restaurant this side of the country. Warm and friendly service, local and fresh vegetables, I am always surprised by the quality and creativity of De Levensboom.
Read moreDe Levensboom is an absolute must for those who enjoy culinary excellence in a cosy, beautiful atmosphere (and a beautiful, green terrace). This restaurant belongs on your wish list.

My favorite - Edit
EDIT december 2023: since a few years De Levensboom has become our favorite restaurant again. The food is always excellent, fresh, original and tasty. We like the changing menu and adore the tapas as a starter. There are some food allergies and sensitivities in our family and friend group, and they always take this into account. Highly recommended if you are in the neighborhood!
Read moreEDIT 4 november 2016: when the owner changed i expected a lot, this didn’t live up to my expectations.
Original review in 2012:
De Levensboom is my favorite restaurant to go to. There aren't that many veg options in Belgian Limburg so I'm really glad we have one like De Levensboom. Like the other reviewers said, this is not a vegetarian restaurant, they do serve fish. However, the quality of your vegetarian or vegan food will nevertheless be exquisite.
I almost always opt for the daily menu because these dishes are creative and full of different tastes that compliment each other. These are dishes like seitan stew accompanied by rostis and fresh vegetables, a quinoa burger with fresh veggies and a little raw salad, ... You can not go wrong with the daily menu.
The standard menu has a lot of great pastas (indeed, Pasta De Levensboom is heavenly and so is the pasta pesto) and the appetizers are lovely. As a first course I usually opt for the sesame pancake. This is a pancake filled with fresh vegetables and an amazing sauce that varies. You have to try this!
There is a great calming atmosphere in De Levensboom, because it is a wonderfull building and beautifully decorated. I've never seen such a friendly staff anywhere else, they will help you with anything you ask or prefer.
Highly recommended!

An evening of fine dining - Edit
There's no card to choose from when you dine at De Levensboom, but that's not a bad thing. They simply serve delicious dishes, filled with whatever is growing on the fields at that time of year. And it's all very tasty!
Read moreThere's a 3-course option, and a 4-course option. And of course, we went for the option with 4 dishes :)
Starter: a platter filled with yummy finger food (the cauliflower with mustard sauce is a regular, and it is super!).
Second course: a mouthwatering multi-mushroom dish
Main course: a big plate filled with veggies, creams, sauces,... absolutely wonderful
Dessert: a scoop of home-made ice cream, some cream of cashew nuts and berries and some more whatnots: love-ly!
Was it delicious: yes!
Will we be back: definitely!!!
Pros: Excellent flavours, Friendly staff

Everything is great about this place. The seating between the flowers in the garden is wonderful. The food is unbelievable. They use flavour combinations I hadn't tasted before. They offer a three course menu which I warmly recommend, it is sensational. If you don't mind paying a little more for an amazing, this is the place to be!

100% vegan fusion restaurant with a special twist… - Edit
This vegan restaurant uses organic produce to make their dishes.
Read moreThis review is for their New Year’s Eve take away menu.
Because of the pandemic rules in Belgium, restaurants can’t be open after 11pm. A lot of restaurants have decided to either close on NYE or do a take away menu.
For me the take away menu is perfect because it’s already prepared and you only have to heat it up in the oven.
Their dishes are definitely not traditional and that makes it stands out for sure.
I had the 5 course menu and a couple of the dishes are sesame choux pastry, pear kibbeling, red beet tartare, Hokkaido soup, mushroom pastry, sweet potato beignet, red wine pear, smoked mash potatoes and bavarois Doyenné.
Everything is absolutely delicious!
I still have to try their regular menu in their restaurant and I definitely intend to go soon.
This is my last review here for 2021 so happy new year everyone! See you all in 2022! #Veganuary

Read moreGestart met tapasplankje, keuzen uit 2 hoofdgerechten (linzenburger of polentakroketje met verschillende bijgerechtjes) en een dessertje op basis van bessensorbet en chocomouse (uit kokosmelk). Alles was super lekker en aan een goede prijs (40 euro voor een menu)

Great vegan food - Edit
We had a very good food experience at de Levensboom. Started with tapas. Especially loved the cauliflower tempura! Main dish changes every day. We had the risotto burger and the buddha bowl. For dessert cheesecake, chiapudding and the amazing (!) white chocolate mousse. It was very tasty. Would love to come back again. They have outdoor seatings as well, a really lovely terrace. Friendly owners and staff! Almost all the items are vegan.
