Vegan viennoiserie in a beautiful shopping gallery - Edit
Bakery/tea room located in the beautiful 19th century shopping arcade 'Galerie De La Reine' in the center of Brussels.
Read moreThere are some vegan dishes on the menu.
We were there in the afternoon and ate cakes with vegan hot chocolate and coffee.
The tortillon and croissants are average and quite expensive.
Pros: Beautifull location

Warm & welcoming - Edit
We enjoyed a lovely breakfast upstairs watching the people passing by. It‘s a cozy place with friendly staff. For breakfast we had cappuccini, avocado toasts and a tortille (a sweet pastry flavoured with apricot jam).
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Nice view

Cosy Place - Edit
We had an avocado toast which they did not prepare fully since there were also some other free spreads (Jams and Spekulatius) available on our table. Vegan options are labeled and staff is super friendly.

The great food of an LPQ amongst the beauty of the Galerie de la Reine - Edit
The food quality matched what I knew from the branch at Tour et Taxis, as did the atmosphere. I chose to go here for breakfast because every other interesting place with vegan breakfast options didn't open until 10:00.
Read moreI understand the branches maintain the same look, but not matching the style of the surrounding Galerie is a missed opportunity!
Pros: Tasty food, Relatively fair prices, Open before 10:00 on weekends
Cons: Not as stylish inside as the Galerie around it

Vegan croissaint... and not much more - Edit
They have some vegan pastries such as hibiscus croissant, but the vegan savoury options are very limited. Therefore only recommendable as takeaway. Other reason is that the prices for stay are almost the double (!) as for takeaway, which I find quite a scam.

Nice place to eat - Edit
Food was very nice, with a few vegan options. Stuff is friendly. You only have to be prepared that you will wait for service and for food longer than usual.
Read morePros: Very tasteful, Nice dish size
Cons: Waiting

Not the quality we are used to from LPQ - Edit
We frequently dine at LPQ (in different countries) and are big fans of the bread basket. The one we had here was small and the bread didn’t taste fresh.
Read moreThe soy yogurt & fruits was okay.
Also giving only one star as an Apple Watch was stolen out of our backpack which was inside the stroller which I had to leave downstairs (inside) when I went to the upstairs bathroom with my little daughter.
If I’d had known we had an Apple Watch in that bag I’d have obviously taken it with me - however the toilets were relatively far away and the area where the stroller was standing (with the backpack) was mostly frequented by employees (who also know the waking distance to the bathroom).
Cons: Bread didn’t taste fresh, Pickpockets (customers or employees)

Little overpriced - Edit
The brunch-breakfast was tasty however overpriced. For 20 euros you have some bread, hummus, guacamole, quinoa, small bowl of yogurt and croissant with a hot drink plus a juice. Small portions but tasty!
Read morePros: Tasty food, Beautiful gallery, Friendly staff
Cons: Few vegan options , Not vegan butter, Small portions

Very good - Edit
Nice atmosphere, delicious food.
Read moreAbsolutely loved the freshness of the ingredients.
The portions are small. The price a bit high for the portion size.
We had avocado toast, fried eggs with bacon and toast with fried eggs. We also had vegan pain au chocolat and a vegan croissant, which were absolutely aaaaammmaazing!!
We also enjoyed fresh ginger tea and orange juice.
Pros: A lot of vegan options , Nice location near station, Fresh biological ingredients
Cons: Bit pricey

Good vegan options! - Edit
We visited different Le Pain Quotidien restaurants when on holiday in Belgium. They are always in very central touristic places and offer some great vegan options. For coffee/tea time, I really loved the “Chocolate Delice” cake, but didn’t like the berry muffin too much (too dry). For breakfast, the avocado toast is good, granola is good but a small portion, or you could just have bread (e.g. cranberry and nuts flute) with sweet spreads/jam (the “Noir” chocolate spread is sooo good – the spreads are on the tables but there are different ones. If you don’t find this on your table, it is worth checking out the spreads on other tables or asking for it). I was with a non-vegan friend and sharing the “Le Pain Quotidien” breakfast (where she ate the non-vegan Pain au chocolat and I ordered an additional soy cappuccino) was great value - you could probably replace the Pain au chocolate with more baguette/bread . For lunch/dinner they also have salads/soups/bowls and dishes like that. Although Le Pain Quotidien is a chain restaurant, there’s a good and cosy atmosphere.

Good breakfast - Edit
I think it's a good place to have breakfast (expensive though) as you can have rice oatmeal, chia puddings, fruit bowls, bread with different kinds of spread, avocado toast, hummus toast, turmeric soya latte, among other things... the dark chocolate spread that they have is really great! I can recommend it but the service can get really slow if the place is full, which happens very often since it is inside one of the main touristic attractions in Brüssels. I didn't have any salad or lunch/brunch food but the breakfast stuff is great!
Read morePros: good breakfast, many vegan options
Cons: slow service, expensive

Not bad at all - Edit
On a holiday where every veg restaurant was closed I tried this place and it was all good.
Read moreIt's not a veg restaurant so the options are very limited but everything I tried was good. The service was also very good, might be a little bit slow since it's usually a busy place. No complains.

Breakfast on the go - Edit
They had two vegan muffins - blueberry and apple/cinnamon, esp. the apple one was great and saved med from being grumpy and hungry. It was big and filling.

Quick service, limited choice - Edit
This is the larger Le Pain Quotidien in the centre; the upstairs is huge, with classical music playing in the background, and very speedy service. Many of the staff speak fluent French, Flemish and English, and in any case, the menu prevents communication problems by marking vegan and vegetarian items. To be honest, more vegan options would be nice – there were no vegan specials or desserts on the day I went – but my soup was delicious and with two types of bread and croutons that come with it, even the small portion was very filling. There is also a vegan salad on the menu, as well as rice-milk porridge on the breakfast menu until 12. I had the problem that the wifi didn't work – nobody could explain why – which was annoying but would not stop me going back. On the other hand, there are fully-vegetarian places in Brussels that I would make a higher priority.
Read morePros: size, labelling, service
Cons: limited choice for vegans

A pity... - Edit
I was really happy when I discovered this branch of "Le Pain Quotidien". LPQ has saved me in other non-veg friendly places many times - and Brussels is clearly one of those.
Read moreThis branch is situated within the famous, beautiful and busy 19th-century shopping arcade "Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert" / "Koninklijke Sint-Hubertusgalerijen" very close to the Central Station. As usually, the menu has a couple of items clearly marked as "vegan".
I was served by a lady taking the order and a guy bringing the food. I ordered a vegan dish with salad, dips and bread and a soy cappuccino. When ordering I stressed out that I am a vegan and verified that the food was vegan. The guy brought me the food, and I asked what the white sauce on the salad was. He checked and said there was egg in it, and that he was sorry. He was very friendly. I then got an extra side salad with olive oil. The food was quite good and fresh, the bread excellent.
I started to drink the soy cappuccino but I felt it tasked pretty milky. It did not help that it looked exactly like the regular cappuccino on the table next to me, and on my voucher it just said "cappuccino". When the lady who took the order passed by I asked if this was really soy cappuccino, and she asked back: "What did you order?". I replied "Soy cappuccino". In a very unfriendly way she said: "If you ordered soy cappuccino, then you got soy cappuccino". I decided not to finish the cappuccino.
This is really a pity because the place is meant to be vegan-friendly. Unfortunately this does not seem to have been communicated to the entire staff.
Pros: vegan labels, fresh food, partially friendly staff
Cons: cannot trust the tabels, partially very unfriendly staff, partially veg-unfriendly staff
