So good! - Edit
This wasn't the first time I bought food from Reed but the first time dining in. I had the French tacos and it was sooooOooo good. I will definitely be back again.

Lovely vegan place, but a bit backwards in menu. - Edit
The place is run with heart and care, and you can feel it. However the menu is backwards, a lot of fried dishes and lacking fresh vegetables and fresh ingredients. Everything feels fat, oily, and most of the dishes are fried. A bit disappointing as the place has potential and is run by people who care.
Read morePros: Friendly staff , Nice view through the window upstairs
Cons: Deep fried dishes (on low quality fat), 90% of the menu is fried and oily , Bad quality of French fries (not house-made)

Hi,
Read moreOur Caesar salad is not fried
Our Joy Burger is not fried
Our Crispy Burger is not fried
Our Bouchée à la Reine is not fried
Our Boulettes à la liégeoise are not fried
Our Tofu teriyaki bowl is not fried
Our dürüm is not fried
Our currywurst is not fried
In our Trufle burger there is only a fried rosti, it makes sense !
We are very far from your so-called 90% fried dishes!
Gyoza are fried to give them a crispy side, it is a choice, and they are served with homemade rice, edamame, fresh shiitake and green onions.
Indeed most dishes are served with good quality Luxembourg frozen fries and we are sorry if they were not to your liking. We simply do not have the space or time to prepare homemade fries.
Also note that our dishes are served with a fresh side salad and chips can be replaced by rice.

Fantastic - Edit
Great gyoza and vol-au-vent! Portions aren’t big, so if you can’t decide: take it all!

First time @ Snack in Joy - Edit
First attempt of their famous Joy Burger at the yearly Vegan Xmas Market. Really tasty, made with love and plenty of spices. #Veganuary
Read moreEdit: The restaurant has recently changed to 100% vegan and also added to their menu some delicious looking vegan pastries.
So I have picked-up 2 to try out.
On one hand the “lemony meringue”, which is one of my favorite pastries, so this one was also mouth watering with the perfect level of acidity.
And on the other hand, today’s brand new “ganache pistachio and crème diplomate” which was surprisingly good. The taste of the pistachio was very subtile, not overpowering, with a very soft texture.
The overall experience was very pleasant and I would recommend and go definitely back to try the other ones too!
Update: Lately I went to this place to meet up with a friend around nice food.
In terms of drink, I got myself a citrus mint lemonade, which was nice and refreshing.
In terms of food, my friend ordered the staple ‘joy’ burger and I decided to go for the Belgium meatballs ‘boulettes’.
The meatballs were ok, but not wahoo, and also they only came by 2 and were already cold, so I was a bit disappointed.
The sweet sauce that comes with the meatballs was nice, however, I would have liked to have a separate sauce for my fries.
Update: Went for a little snack and treat. The deep fried starters were ok, but nothing special. The chosen truffle sauce was, however, very good.
The little apple crumble treat was good though, nicely sweet, and match perfectly with the cold vanilla ice cream.

Pros: Large menu, Delicious authentic dishes, Vegan pastries
Cons: More vegetarian options than vegan, Pastry is not made vegan (bouchée à la reine)

Wow! Do you know what patty this is? Looks a bit like beyond but seems more shredded. Is it house made?
Read moreLutje_VZ
Indeed, it’s very similar to Beyond meat through its visual but I guess the patty is homemade too!

Great for trying veganized traditional food! - Edit
It was great to be able to taste some traditional food from the region: vol-au-vent. It was tasty and the staff was very friendly. I would certainly go back to taste the other plates!

Great find! - Edit
The venue is a street away from the bustling thoroughfare and squares and was a great place for lunchtime sustenance after a 2-hour walking tour of the city! Just what I needed. I ordered a medium durum/wrap with a bottle of Tripel Karmeliet - a Belgian beer I recommend. Really tasty wrap with great flavour. the service was friendly and timely. A good find thanks to Happy Cow.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Premises looks small but there is seating upstairs, Tasty food and drink which was good value.

Loved it! - Edit
Cozy seating on the second floor, very friendly staff and amazing food! We had the vol au vent/bouche à la reine and Joy burger menu, both were great. Only the sauces were lacking some taste. Would love to come back!

The only vegan burger that can compete with meat based burgers - Edit
This place is a gem in the city center. I’ve tried the burger but also the durum and the vol-au-vent and I’m always blown away by how good it is !
Read moreIt’s a bit heavy on the stomach - I mean it’s still junk food for most dishes but they truly deserve 5 stars! If I could I’d give even more for the service as they are always nice and welcoming.
Pros: Great dupe of original dishes with meat, Cheap prices, Welcoming waiters
Cons: The music used to be a bit crazy to my tastes

The restaurant looks tiny at first glance but has a cozy second floor. Very steep spiral stairs. We had to wait a really long time for the food we ordered. The truffle menu burger was OK but a bit on the dry side, but the Luxembourgish dish was nice!

Nice fastfood lunch - Edit
Order at counter, then they bring food to the table.
Read moreHad the 'chicken' burger (crispy) 17,50€ and the vol-au-vent /bouche a la reine 17,50€. Both with fries, and veganaise.
Nice food. Didn't have to wait long.
The vol-au-vent was a bit thin sauce though, I like it more creamy.
Only a handful of seatings downstairs, the main seating area is upstairs, via narrow spiraling stairs (not so easy!).
One toilet = is upstairs. Didn't see an accessible toilet.
Friendly, but reserved.

Exactly what we were looking for! It's so nice to have these traditional dishes in vegan form, and they tasted amazing! We had the bouchée à la reine and curry sausage with some sides. Everything tasted very good and the opening hours were also very convenient for our short stop in a day of train commutes. Staff was also very friendly!
