Delicious vege mezze - Edit
Most dishes are vegan or can be easily made vegan. The presentation on wooden shovels is beautiful. The fried cauliflower and red pepper dip were particularly delicious. The only disappointment was the malabi for dessert. It tasted like eating coconut oil.

Cons: Dessert was very bad

We did tell the staff that the dessert was bad, but the response was "I like it that way".

Fijne mensen, mooie porties, toplocatie - Edit
Eten bij Pius Chiches was een fijne ervaring. We kregen een mooi gepresenteerd bord en het aanbod was vrij vegan te verkrijgen. Enkele zaken waren het niet, maar geen probleem.
Read moreDe zitting was verzorgd en best gezellig. Er is een zonnig terras. Het eten was ok.
De dessertkaart sprak me minder aan. Jammer!
Pros: Nice location in Brussels, Friendly people, Nice presentation
Cons: Little attention for coffee & deserts (no blame), No free water

Good food - Edit
Small diner with good food. Has a lot of vegan options. If you like to have a proper „fast“ and tasty meal this is perfect. But I wouldn’t recommend it if you wanna have a quiet place with a private atmosphere as this is more a diner than a restaurant. I’d definitely come back.

Ok Fast food - Edit
The bowls are ok. Their fallafels are nice. Good option if you are looking for fast food after you’ve been drinking. Overall i was not impressed with the food. They have their own beer which was nice.

Hey milcheto
Read moreThank you for your review of our Middle Eastern restaurant, we're happy to hear you enjoyed our falafels and tried our specialty beer too! 😋
We’re well aware we’re not the cheapest option, but serving quality local produce sadly still comes at a hefty price in Belgium. There are definitely more affordable options in the area, but they are not on the same mission of sustainability as we are.
Apart from our dishes with Berloumi (a local Belgian halloumi cheese), our entire menu actually is or can be turned vegan easily. We will definitely make sure to communicate this more clearly in the future! 🤗
We’re looking forward to welcoming you again someday. 😊

Delicious food - Edit
I can see that there are a lot of varying reviews for this place, but I had a great experience. I had the chef's plate, and it was truly delicious. So many different components with so many different flavors. The falafel is great and properly made, and the hummus and the rest are wonderful. They have different bottled beers, including their own session ipa, which is quite decent.
Read moreNice clientelle and very friendly staff. I had to wait a bit for the food, but it wasn't any problem.

Flavourless!!! - Edit
Where to start?! Maybe with what brought us here : the food!
Read moreFlavourless, not fresh and cold is how I would describe it. The different elements that compose the plates are obviously made (way too long) in advance and overpowered with garlic. Even the few herbs here and there don't bring flavours to the dishes anymore as they've been left to their own devices for hours (maybe days?) before being served. The roasted eggplants and cauliflowers are served cold and all the flavours on your plate are so bland that they actually blend into each other. Even the hummus was tasteless, a shame for a place called Pois Chiche. I really don't like to leave this kind of reviews but this place really needs to lift its game with its flavours, spices and recipes!
As for the service, well, there isn't any! You order at the counter, you clean your table. I don't mind it at all but I'd expect to pay way less than 17 euros per plate with that kind of business model. I'd also really appreciate for the staff not to chew their dinner whilst taking your order. Having an half eaten plate on the counter next to the till is not really very professional nor is it appetising for the customers.
I would not go back there!
Cons: Bland / Flavourless, No service, Overpriced for what you get

Very good! - Edit
Generous portion, high quality ingredients, I really enjoyed my dinner.
Read moreMaybe slight overpriced considering that there is no table service (you order and pick up the food at the counter and clean the table)
At the beginning it was not clear to me what was vegan or not, once you ask they are happy to help and turns out almost everything is vegan

Hey RobertaCalce,

We’re particularly proud that you appreciated the quality of our local ingredients, they are, as you can imagine, a big part of the reason why we are not the cheapest option around.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you again someday! 🤗

Ideal lunch/brunch spot - Edit
Very rich in flavors and despite the fact that the concept largely revolves around chickpeas, you will not be served boring plates! Be sure to taste the cauliflower shawarma because they're excellent.

So good - Edit
My fav meal I had in Brussels. Everything had so much flavour. We shared a chefs plate and a flatbread (my bf ate the halloumi). Something I noticed in Brussels is that vegan options were never very well marked, this place included unfortunately. Make sure you study the menu or ask a member of staff!

disappointed - Edit
Took my non-vegan friends out for lunch, hoping it would be a nice experience. They have a very limited offer but that wouldn’t be a problem if they would actually offer it. No fresh lemonade (so only available drink is water or alcohol), no white wine and the rose was WARM, of the four sauces to chose from three were not available.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, bilingual/trilingual
Cons: Out of almost everything

Quality vegan lebanese food - Edit
The weekend bruch is great, can be made vegan upon request. Combo dips and other options also available every day. Refillable drinks are a plus 😄 Note: Middle Eastern food can be too oily for some of us but you can ask not to add any oil on top.

Did not match my expectations - Edit
The place looks very nice and it’s well located. The presentation of the food is very nice but there’s not much taste.
Read moreThey have the worse hummus I have ever had. I had the impression that it was chick peas mixed with water not because it was too liquid but because there was not much taste.
From the “plat du chef” of 17€ the only things that had flavour for me were the grape leaves filled with rice, the bread, the olives and the fried cauliflower.
I am not going back.
Pros: Many vegan options , Nice presentation of the food, Cozy place
Cons: Vegan options not labelled , Not many non alcoholic drinks, Food not tasty

Belachelijk lekker vegan plate - Edit
The chef’s plate originally has halloumi in it, but the chef replaces it with extra falafel to veganize it! Delicious cauliflower and best beetroot I ever tasted! A big plate full of flavours! Definitely enough for a big fulfilling meal 😍🥰

Always very fast and delicious - Edit
The food which they cook in front of you is amazing, I always order my favorite flatbread with eggplant without eggs and they are eager to please me. There are two other vegan options of the base - falafel and cauliflower which are also great. Besides a flatbread you can also choose a plate. Secondly, I always enjoy seeing the staff because they're nice people. Not to mention they are eco conscious.
Read morePros: Delicious, fast!
