This place is more than just a restaurant ! - Edit
I love this place. I have known it for a few decades. The food always makes me feel good. It is not just some veggie food, as it is prepared according to macrobiotic principles, a very fine and subtle balance between yin & yang.

PS: I wish also it was open more, as I am not often in the city center on weekdays.
Pros: authentic , macrobiotic
Cons: often closed when I am in the neighborhood

Nice organic products store - Edit
This is a nice store to get organic and vegan products of all sorts. They sell bulk items at very attractive prices and have fresh produce and other fresh items like tofu and soy yogurt. The prices are within the average for these kind of products or below average. They also sell some vegan pastries and snacks. On the first floor there is a macrobiotic restaurant serving lunches but I haven't been there.

Vegan macrobiotic gem - Edit
I’m so happy I found this place : a macrobiotic restaurant that serves daily menus and OMG it’s delicious. I had quinoa burger, sea weed, carrot and pumpkin, rice, beans and cabbage. Very tasty, good portions (for me it was more than enough) and price is fair for Belgium standards. Very friendly staff as well.

Good daily lunch in the center - Edit
Lunch for about 13 euros is always vegan and very good. It's a dish of the day situation so don't expect a large menu. Healthy macrobiotic food and an organic store downstairs. The vegan cakes are so bland though.

Nothing special about this place. Typical macrobiotic food but quite bland. As well, it is not cheap. Nice staff though.

Shocking food - Edit
They only have one option, and everything on the plate is poorly cooked. The service is mediocre and the prices are steep. Would not recommend.

fair amount of products - Edit
review is about the shop only.
Read moreOrganic shop, not so big, two adjacent rooms, small aisles.
Packed with goodies though, and a fair amount of vegan products, although we didn't find any real specialities (the usual suspects, like plantbased milk drinks etc were available).
We wanted to have lunch upstairs (plat du jour), but it was still half an hour before the restaurant opened, so we went elsewhere

Excellent macrobiotic food - Edit
I enjoyed the meal very much, it was very much like many meals I had in Japan right down to presentation. Japanese food for vegetarians and vegans is not the most tastiest cuisine, by contrast many can find it a bit bland and boring, if not a acquired taste (like many things in Japanese cuisine). So if you don't like the food here, it's not necessary the lack of skills of the chef, but rather the style. Still very good, they managed all elements very well. A big difference at den teepot was on the ingredients-which seemed to be more local and seasonal affecting the taste-so a carrot dishes was on the plat, and brussels sprouts. The place seems to have tried a few different styles in the past few years, I'm happy with this one, and happy to come back.

Good food - Edit
I go often to Den teapot, the standard dish of the day is what I only order and it tastes always good. Portions are not to big but it is fine for me.
Read morePitty they are only open during lunch hour.
Pros: organic, surprise dish, city center

An healthy experience - Edit
Easy to find and is over a bio grocery store, which for me is great to open the appetite. Works with a standard dish of the day. One of the best miso soups I ever tried. It was my first approach on the macrobiotic cousine, so I can't compare it to anything within. But I liked it and I felt great after.
Read morePros: Healthy , Nearby bio store, Good ingredients
Cons: A bit slow service

Tasty and healthy lunch - Edit
After several days of too many chips because Belgium isn't the most vegan friendly country a lunch here is exactly what my body needed. I had the dish of the day which was a variety of very tasty vegetables and brown rice with a millet burger which was just so flavourful. On the tables is soy sauce and ground up peanuts instead of salt and that really enhanced it. I recommend this place for a welcome break to the chips and beer. Only down side was trying and failing to explain macrobiotic to my partner.

Not completely vegan and the food didn't impress me... - Edit
I really wanted to like this restaurant but nothing besides their music was ok for me. They aren't completely vegan, almost all of their dessert had eggs in it, the food was not that good(some of it was even tasteless and some had a strong and unnatural taste) They seemed to care more about the fact that it was organic than vegan(they said it's fine that dessert had eggs because everything is organic).

Pros: Music
Cons: The entrance is not visible and it's easy to miss., Not completely vegan., Food not that tasty

Yeah, you can talk, with your pale anemia... The products of this restaurant are all of the finest quality and the eggs come from a farm that the owner knows personally. Chicken lay eggs. You may as well eat them or throw them to the garbage, which is a waste and disrespectful of the abundance. Some people dedicate themselves to being vegan without even knowing why. Eating the egg of a happy chicken causes no moral issues.
Read moreYou should probably eat an egg or two for your anemia.

I'll suppose you are the owner since normal people don't check on friend's pages on HappyCow to defend their business. Thanks for reminding me to change the pic I had since I was vegetarian and ate eggs to this when I am all vegan. Very nice of you to pick on how your clients look. I didn't want to say this publicly, but I did send a message to HappyCow when I first wrote the review: in this restaurant I asked for an ALL VEGAN menu and I was given something that looked very much like it had eggs in it. I asked if it's true, they said no eggs, but I didn't touch it and I'm glad I didn't now that I know of your restaurant's love for chicken menstruation. I'll have you know that sanctuaries let the chicken eat the eggs and don't take them for themselves since the chickens lose many minerals laying it and this way they can recover faster. This is the humane thing to do, not selling the eggs to clients.

A few years ago I used to go to den teapot frequently.
Read moreThe meals were always very authentic.
The mains were cooked according to macrobiotic principles from organic sources and of course vegan.
I do not remember if the deserts were too, I was vegetarian at the time and paid less attention.
I haven't been there in a while and if it's open this weekend will go and visit.
Thank you AnaGabriela for your review, I will check on the eggs.
If it's vegan it's vegan, eggs from any source are not vegan.

Reasonable lunch in Brussels - Edit
Vegan cafes seem sparse in Brussels and despite it's very limited opening hours it's worth visiting Den Teepot for lunch. It basically serves a soup and plate of the day with a few side options and tart. The food doesn't look the most glamorous but it was all tasty and wholesome. We went back on our second day as we felt it was a 'reliable' choice.
Read morePros: All vegan, Changing mixed plate of the day, Friendly service
Cons: Limited opening hours, Limited choice, A little pricey

I Went Hungry Den Left Full - Edit
My companion and I went to this little spot up above an organic store back in 2014. Maybe my review is null and void now, cause it's well overdue, but man, it's time to finish some of my to-do list things (such as review some darn good restaurants). This place was an oasis back in 2014. Great atmosphere and seemed super clean. It was super duper cozy, and all vegan at the time (now I am reading it is not). The food was excellent standard macrobiotic fare. The woman working there at the time and I had a slight language barrier, but with a few hand gestures and positive facial expressions all was figured out. We didn't realize that once you load your plate up with food you have to put it on a scale to weigh it...as that's how they determined the price. Not sure if this is still the drill. The prices were pretty good as I remember. The food was delicious. My eyes were bigger than my stomach because I had a bit left over, but I packed it up and all was well in the world. I'd visit it again...just to see how it has changed. Not too keen on vegan places adding non-vegan items to their menu though. That's such a disappointment in life, yo.

The staff is friendly, the food tastes good but nothing exceptional. The menu I had looked like I made it myself at home which is not bad.
