Vegan comfort food and delicious desserts

Nice vegan versions of mostly traditional dishes. Several desserts to choose from.
We had the seitan burger which tasted wonderful, and the houmous bowl with tofu, a nice healthy option.
We ended with a chocolate cupcake and a chocolate mousse topped with chantilly cream. Both were nice!

Tasty classics and local dishes

It's a nice and welcoming place, and went from being quite empty when we arrived (just after 18.00) to being about a third full.

We found it pretty hard to choose but decided to share cheese croquettes (lovely gooey comfort food), a chef's salad (very nice), the boulets sauce Liégeoise (promoted as a Belgian specialty) and the seitan Bourguignon.

We appreciated being warned that the sauce Liégeoise is a bit sweet.

We enjoyed everything but I'm giving four stars because both the seitans could be better, I think, and the fries should have been cooked a little longer.

Lovely food in a lovely space

We only stopped here for a quick bite before our train but the fries and arancini were very tasty, the service was friendly, and they also have a little shop of different vegan goodies which was fun. Will definitely return when back in Brussels. Would recommend.

Pros: Fully vegan , Good atmosphere and very spacious, Little vegan shop too

Good chocolate bars

Nice place and friendly staff. I had the Lasagna and a freshly squeezed orange juice. While the juice was good, I was not a fan of the Lasagna, it tasted too much like tomato. However it was quite a big portion so at least I didn't leave hungry. The waiter also asked if I liked it and reacted well when I said that I didn't.
The place also sells a lot of groceries. I bought two chocolate bars that were both good.

Pros: Friendly staff, Sells groceries

Generous wholesome food

The staff were really friendly. There is an easy online menu available in a number of languages. Very generous portions and so much choice!! It was lovely to find a completely vegan restaurant too.
The soup was thick and filling and the parmentier was big enough for two, especially as we’d had arrancini balls to share as a starter. We couldn’t resist the puddings but had to get them wrapped to take away! The lavender lemonade, homemade, had an after taste of the lavender and was refreshing. I wish we were staying longer and could come back for the brunch pancakes…. Highly recommended!

Pros: Huge choice, Generous portions, Friendly staff

A Must for Brussels.

Outstanding, laid-back seitan-heavy vegan restaurant. Burginoin and boulets were both divine, staff were cordial, and plenty of vegan sweets and pantry staples to nosh on later too.

Delicious

Everything was perfect : the veggie cheese croquette, the Burger with seitan and tofu bacon, and the dessert. One problem: too much choices, it's difficult to.only pick one dessert !

Pros: Mousse au chocolat, Chocolat chaud, Croquette au fromage

Amazing cakes the rest meh

We went in to have some tea and cake in the afternoon, that were absolutely delicious. We are very curious to try the rest of the menu that looks so tasty!

Update march 2023

Such a pity that the food is not as soon as the cakes. I ate there several times and I am a bit disappointed every time (either not that tasty or dry or not good)

Muy Decepcionante

La puntuación no se ajusta a la realidad. Es un 3/5 como mucho pero tuvimos una mala experiencia.

La calidad de la comida es baja, platos pobres y emplatado mediocre. Cantidades acorde al precio. No hay por donde coger ningún plato de los que probamos, incluidos postres.

Ambiente raro: el local es demasiado alto, con pocas mesas para el espacio que hay y la sensación es muy extraña si hay poca gente, poco acogedor.

Camareras muy amables pero la comida tardó casi 1 hora en llegar con el local a mitad de capacidad.

Simpelemente, no vale la pena, no lo recomendaría. Me da mucha rabia haber llevado a gente no vegana y que se hayan llevado esa impresión.

Normalmente si no me gusta un sitio me contengo de escribir una review, pero este restaurante necesita una puntuación inferior a la actual.

Cons: Tiempo de espera, Calidad de los ingredientes, Combinaciones de los platos

Very good

Friendly service and very good food. I took the vegan Schnitzel with fries, salad and mushroom sauce. It's a cosy restaurant in Brussels City Center next to a few other vegan restaurants near Louise/Louiza. Additionally you find a few products to buy like in a little vegan supermarket. Prices in Brussels Level, so a bit more to Pay than in other cities/countries.

Very good

All vegan restaurant with some hearty food choices and a little shop inside.

The staff was very nice and friendly and the food was great.
We tried the boulets sauce liègeoise, something I haven't even heard of before coming here, and it tasted amazing although I wasn't prepared for the intense clove flavour. I enjoyed it a lot though! The 'meatballs' had a nice texture and were very filling.
Cupcakes were alright but nothing special, might go for the cheesecake next time cause it looked really good.

The food is a bit pricey but everything in Brussels is so it seems alright.

Huge schnitzel

The seitan schnitzel was 21 euros and was absolutely enormous - the size of a dinner plate, came with mushroom sauce, chips and salad. Luckily I had some friends to share it with. Great place to try this dish. Service was friendly and prompt.

Really tasty and healthy food. Kind staff and fast service. Would recommend if you like simple and healthy vegan versions of classic dishes! Not very special or outstanding, but definitely was good for a quick lunch or dinner!

Very tasty & friendly!

After a day of walking around in BXL we decided to eat here. We got the Hoummus dish, Seitan burger and Dino nuggets (for the kid). All very decent portions and really fresh & tasty! Sevice was very friendly and they talked French, Dutch and English. A

Pros: Service, Food, Home made vegan tartar sauce

Creative menu

We had the lobster roll and schnitzel, both were really yummy!

I have never had a non vegan lobster roll so not sure how it compares, but I really loved the creativity. I think the lobster was made from heart of palm or similar because it was a little crunchy but taste really good and the bread was delicious.

The schnitzel was definitely a good option too but would have loved it to be a little thicker and with more sauce, but the taste was great.

The whole menu looked really good and I would have loved to have tried more if we were hungrier

There had been a little bit of a wait for our food which i think was abnormal because even though we didn't say anything about it, the staff were very apologetic and gave us a free cupcake, which was soft and not sickly sweet

We would definitely eat here again

Disappointing Dining Experience

It seemed like the food wasn't freshly made or homemade. I'm not familiar with Brussels prices, but it felt overpriced because it wasn't special food—more like school cafeteria fare. Additionally, the overall atmosphere was strange.

Hello Leander,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

Could you share with me what dishes you ate and when you visited ?
We make our 4 different kinds of seitan (seitan burger, boulets, sausage and schnitzel), sauces (liégeoise, all the mayo sauces, bolognaise) and even or burger and lobster buns from scratch, using mostly organic ingredients when it comes to fruits and vegetables.

Brussels can be an expensive city, especially when it comes to rent and produce, and Belgium in general costs more in wages and social security than our neighbouring countries.
We do not cost more then most non vegan places in Brussels.

Thank you again for your feedback.
