Cosy restaurant with vegan options - Edit
Had the hummus dish which was good. Didn’t take dessert because we had to wait a while for our main. Staff was very friendly.

Héééél lang wachten - Edit
De keuze voor vegans is beperkt, en kom je wat later op de avond, dan kan het ook op zijn. Ik vermoed dat er personeelstekort was. We hadden gereserveerd en waren er om 20.00 uur. Na een half uur was nog niemand komen vragen wat we wilden drinken en eten. Het eten was er pas om 21.30 uur. Het dessert en koffie hebben we daarom maar laten zitten.

Pros: Mooie locatie, huiselijke inrichting, Vriendelijk personeel, Tuin-terras
Cons: Heeeeeel lang wachten, Beperkte vegan keuzes

Wij hebben net dezelfde ervaring gehad vorig jaar. Goed dat een zaak moeite doet om veggie en vegan gerechten op de kaart te zetten, maar het kan toch allemaal wel wat beter...

Den Olifant Ieper - Edit
We had the hummusdip starter with veggies and I had the lasagna and my husband the spaghetti. There was a vegan chocomousse for dessert, but we were full. I bet it was nice as well.

Original and delicious lunch - Edit
Update: second visit in Jan 2023. Again had a nice lunch. Vegan camembert, chickpea nuggets and hummus.
Read moreNice food.
Didn't like the lonely caged bird in the hallway though (wasnt there previously)
--------
Had the soup (with coconut, 6€), vegan rice paper dumplings (with shiitakes, pumpkins, cashews, ...19€) and hummus with baked mushrooms and toast (19€).
The soup came very swiftly, main dishes were a bit of a wait.
Really liked the food! And although it was hummus, it really tasted amazing bc of the mushrooms and sauce. Soup was also very good.
I love that they have other dishes than burgers and bowls, and they also change the menu regularly.
There was also vegan dame blanche on the menu but we were stuffed. (Also a vegan appetizer with vegan camembert).
Very nice atmosphere. Relaxed. Cosy. Very friendly service. Restaurant room is not accessible - steps to get in (maybe one can enter via the large terrace at the back).
Only one toilet, not accessible.

Zeer lekker - Edit
Gezellig restaurant. Leuk ingericht. Meerdere vegan opties voor voorgerecht, hoofdgerecht en dessert. Staat ook duidelijk op de kaart.
Read moreOok lekkere huisgemaakte ice tea.
Eten was ook echt heel lekker. En toch een gezondere optie dan frieten of burger.
Vriendelijke bediening. Bij mooi weer ook een leuke ruïne stadstuin waar je kan zitten.
Pros: Heel lekker eten, Vegan dessert, Gezellig

Friendly service, some vegan options - Edit
When we visited they had 4 vegan options on the menu.
Read moreOne starter was sold out, one main was a veggie pasta that could be made vegan by switching pasta to rice. The other mail was a curry with rice. So vegans have basically two options with rice.
It isn’t that difficult to get vegan pasta, so I don’t understand that way of thinking.
Not so happy either with the non vegan milk and cookies served with our coffee.
Pros: Friendly service
Cons: Basic cuisine, Noisy

Fancy - Edit
Excellent place, with a nice uqiet garden in the back.
Read moreThe menu changes weekly and, as I understood, always has 2 vegan options. When I was there is was a curryand a houmous toast - which is not the most creative - yet it was flawless.
Pros: the garden
Cons: you might want to book a table in advance

Delicious lunch in a cosy place - Edit
I had the vegan weekly suggestion (which is clearly labeled on the menu): falafels with couscous and houmous. It was delicious and everything looked homemade. The place is very cosy and nicely decorated, we spent and amazing moment. Only the service is a little bit slow but we were not in a hurry, so this was not a problem for us.
