très décevant

On allait avec enthousiasme découvrir ce resto à l'affiche prometteu se et on a été déçus. La carte, petite, propose des plats complets et précise s'ils contiennent du gluten ou du lactose, sont vegé ou vegan ; ce qui est une très bonne chose. Il est possible de demander à passer certains plats vegé en vegan, ce que j'ai fait. Et j'ai eu la même chose moins les éléments végétariens (à savoir sauce au yaourt et mousse de feta). Donc un plat très sec et pour le même prix !Au final un resto bruyant, une cuisine pas terrible (je fais la même chose chez moi) et des prix beaucoup trop élevés pour la qualité. On y retournera pas.

Pros: Sans gluten, sans lactose, végétarien, vegan

Cons: Cher, Pas très bon, Bruyant

a bit posh

Lamb, salmon, chicken...
The place is trendy but far from vegetarian; among the 10 mains on the menu, only 2 can be made vegan if you ask (the burger and - guess what: the falafels) :); they are reasonably tasty, but nothing very original, and rather expensive.

Yummy Everything!

SOu simply rocks. I'm a gluten free vegan finding her way on this menu. Fantastic to be able to get a hot meal eating outside the house. It's pricy though..

Pros: Fantastic wines on the menu, Gluten free opetion everywhere, Sometimes vegan deserts!

Cons: Expensive, Always full, so need to reserve

One of the few venues open on Sunday in Brussels

Definitely a better place for vegetarians rather than vegans, is a good choice on weekends, since it is one of the few venues open on Sunday in Brussels.

I had a lukewarm split pea soup with onions, coriander and argan oil, followed by falafel with nuts, watermelon (!!), carrots, olives and mint. Good choice also of salads and cold soups.
I didn't have any desserts, but they usually offer homemade sorbets and fruit crumbles that are vegan.

Pros: good food, healthy cuisine

Cons: not a big choice for vegans

Great for vegetarians, not so much for vegans

I'd say this restaurant would be a better choice for omnivores or vegetarians than vegans. The evening my partner and I visited there were a couple of interesting vegetarian dishes that I would love to try; but sadly I was told they couldn't be veganized. The only options I had left were a chilled beet puree/soup, a warm lentil salad (both being starter dishes), and a quesadilla that could be made vegan by leaving the goat cheese out; though the server kindly minded me that it might not be as flavorful without the cheese.

That being the case, I just went with the two inherently vegan items. While the soup was very tasty and delivered a surprising depth of flavor, the lentils had nothing to write home about; it was simply a pile of brown lentils topped with diced tomatoes and garnished with some carrot rounds. My omni partner enjoyed his food a lot though.

On a brighter note, the free bread and hummus were good. They seemed to be using some kind of rye bread now, not baguette as the other reviewer wrote. Also they used organic ingredients and the cuisine was pretty whole-foody. Service was very cordial, but got a little slow when the place started to get busy as there was only one server waiting on all the tables. Decor was rustic and cute, good ambiance; although the place became a little stuffy in the end.

Because of the lack of options, I wouldn't really recommend this restaurant to vegans; but omnis/veggies should have a great meal here. Apparently they change their menu regularly, so check with them ahead to see if they will have anything substantial enough for you.

Pros: staff, healthy, ambiance

Cons: lack of vegan options, service could get slow, ventilation

Soul is a hit!

What a dining treat! The service was delightful, atmosphere warm. The meal exceeded expectations. Each dish was excellently prepared and flavorful. Menu choices were predominantly vegetarian, several vegan options available. Nice selection of wines. Focus is on serving clean and healthful foods.

Pros: Excellent food, Great service, Healthy cuisine

Cons: Price - moderate
